Naomi Osaka is ready to pull another surprise ahead of the 2025 Australian Open. The four-time Grand Slam champion showed off his Nike shoes and confidently claimed he had one of the best gear on tour.
The Japanese WTA star’s journey with multi-billion dollar brand Nike began in 2019. It was also the same year that Osaka won her fifth career title at the China Open, defeating formidable rivals such as Jessica Pegula and Bianca Andreescu. Nike’s collaboration with Osaka is reportedly worth a whopping $10 million a year.
Naomi Osaka, who is currently making headlines by advancing to the semi-finals of the ASB Classic for the first time since 2022, recently showed off her Nike shoes on Instagram. On January 3, the Japanese posted a photo of his stylish gear and wrote:
“I take pride in always wearing the best shoes in tennis,” Osaka wrote.
Currently priced at $160 on Nike’s official website, Osaka’s 2025 gear features the Nike GP Challenge 1 “Osaka”. The shoe is equipped with an Air Zoom unit and side-to-side stability, allowing for additional flexibility, as seen in the 27-year-old’s current form.
In addition to her Nike gear, the four-time Grand Slam champion showed off her outfit to fans at the Sky Tower ahead of the ASB Classic.

Naomi Osaka had fans on the edge of their seats as she defeated Hayley Baptiste after a set down to advance to the ASB Classic semi-finals.
A week ago, Osaka posted an image of her outfit on Instagram, just before her first campaign of the season. She was seen wearing a white jacket paired with a trendy T-shirt and a black skirt.
After facing injuries and early setbacks in 2024, the start of this new season seems to have given the Japanese new hope. After her win over Haley Baptiste, Osaka spoke to the media and reflected on her match:
“I think what I focused on was having a lot of belief and confidence in myself,” she said after defeating American Haley Baptiste in the quarterfinals.
“I think I put in a lot of effort last year and even if it didn’t show in the results, I think I’m just going to keep working as hard as I can and see where it gets me. ” Osaka added.
It is just a matter of two more wins for Naomi Osaka to end her title slump that has continued since 2021.
