This new release is rooted in one idea: our greatest competition has always been ourselves. Original hand-painted artwork by Rupal transforms a broken racket into a symbol of ambition, frustration, and perseverance. The classic sporty tee silhouette nods to Round21’s roots in sport, creating a wearable canvas where art, fashion, and athletics meet.
Round21 x Ru by Rupal, the collaboration
The collaboration marks a natural intersection between ROUND21’s world of sport and design and Ru by Rupal’s distinctive approach to womenswear and cultural storytelling. Together, the brands reimagine tennis beyond traditional sportswear through three pieces rooted in the visual language and mentality of the game.
