Currently ranked as No. 25 on the WTA tour, Maria has been selected to become the face of the new tennis range and will be playing in apparel and footwear of adidas by Stella McCartney at all upcoming tournaments starting with the Australian Open.

Maria Kirilenko, the latest addition to the adidas tennis family and exclusive face of the adidas by Stella McCartney tennis range, will be wearing the key styles of the tennis line and the Bashasha, an ultra-light tennis shoe based on the successful adidas Feather.

The shoe's very sleek 3 stripes design on the upper offers additional stability whereas the quarter is kept very minimal, thus making the shoe very breathable and light.

“For me it is extremely important to wear products that combine performance and style. I need to have breathable apparel and footwear that is lightweight, stable and well cushioned. With the new adidas by Stella McCartney tennis line I feel like I have everything any female tennis player always dreams about: great-looking products that actually perform."

"I'm really excited about this new partnership with adidas,” said Maria Kirilenko.

Adding tennis to the collection was an easy fit for Stella McCartney said, “When I think of summer sports, I immediately think about tennis, as one of the highlight sports of the season. A tennis line is something I always wanted to tackle and I am really excited to introduce this new range that combines performance and style with an element of cheeky femininity.”
