Tennis has always been about an entire sport culture defined by fandom, style and community gathering in and outside the court. In a brilliant nod to this spectator lifestyle, Danish fashion label Les Deux has teamed up with iconic racquet sports brand Prince to drop a highly anticipated, 17-piece limited collection. Launching on May 18, 2026, the collaboration shifts the spotlight away from the intense pressure of the scoreboard and shines it directly onto the vibrant atmosphere of the stands.

By diving deep into the Prince archives, the collection revives the visual confidence and bold aesthetic of 1990s tennis culture. Instead of rigid, sweat-wicking performance gear, this lineup is carefully tailored for everyday life. The pieces seamlessly blend glossy technical textiles with comfortable, textured cottons and relaxed silhouettes. Fashion enthusiasts and casual fans alike can expect a curated wardrobe featuring retro-inspired track jackets, striped knits, intarsia polos, washed denim shorts, and co-branded caps. It is nostalgia reimagined for the modern wardrobe, marrying preppy sophistication with vintage athletic charm.

“The match happens on the court, but the culture’s built in the stands,” notes Mathias H. Jensen, Creative Director at Les Deux.

This philosophy perfectly encapsulates the partnership. While Prince has spent decades equipping elite global athletes, its influence has inevitably bled into street fashion and everyday lifestyle. Meanwhile, Les Deux has spent the last fifteen years perfecting the art of bridging distinct worlds, growing from a humble basement project into an international staple for creatives.

Ultimately, by capturing the spirit of the era when tennis style truly ruled the streets, Les Deux and Prince have created something that’s for lifelong tennis enthusiasts or someone who simply appreciates great street style. The pieces offer a way to dress for the culture of the game without ever having to pick up a racquet.
