High fashion and gaming collide as luxury powerhouse Gucci partners with 2K to unveil an exclusive collaboration in the highly anticipated TopSpin 2K25. This exciting partnership not only showcases Gucci's rich history in tennis but also highlights its innovative approach to the digital realm.

A Legacy of Luxury on the Court

Gucci's connection to tennis dates back to the 1970s when the iconic brand first ventured into producing tennis-related products, with a particular focus on accessories and shoes. The Gucci Tennis 1977, one of the first luxury sneakers ever created, stands as a testament to the House's enduring legacy in the sport. In June, Gucci unveiled its new Gucci Tennis collection, offering a twist on traditional tennis attire alongside a curated selection of leather accessories.

Thanks to the collaboration with 2K, the Gucci Tennis collection is set to make a stunning debut in the virtual world of TopSpin. Starting June 27, select pieces from the collection will be available exclusively as rewards for players who dominate the digital court in the TopSpin 2K25 World Tour Gucci Tennis Cup. This unique tournament, running from June 27 to August 15, offers gamers the chance to showcase their skills while elevating their virtual style with coveted Gucci items.
