Fila‘s tennis event “Fila Tennis Festa Toray PPO 2024” was held at Ariake Tennis Forest Park in Tokyo on Wednesday, October 23, 2024. This time, FUDGE FRIEND’s UMI and Kana Oshima attended the same event. In addition, Nana Takahashi, a tennis taglammer who combines fashion and tennis and spreads the charm of tennis on SNS, will also be joining us as a special guest! Three people will actually wear Fila’s tennis wear, which combines functionality and design, and will report on the comfort of the wear and the event!
What kind of event is “Fila Tennis Festa”?
“Fila Tennis Festa” is a tennis event sponsored by “Fila” that was held at the same time as the “Toray Pan Pacific Open Tennis Tournament 2024 (commonly known as Toray PPO)”. Only those with tickets will be able to experience lessons from professional coaches contracted by Fila, tennis attractions, and more, with content that everyone from beginners to experienced players can enjoy.
The venue, Ariake Tennis Forest Indoor Court, is an indoor tennis court that has eight hard courts and can be played regardless of the weather. Both of us were overwhelmed by the beautiful wooden roof and spacious space.
The charm of beautiful tennis wear unique to Italian brands
Fila is a sports and lifestyle brand born in Italy in 1911. The 2024 lineup features a lineup of clothing that allows you to enjoy sports in style, with the theme being “Bellissimo,” which means “extremely beautiful” in Italian. Let’s take a look at the coordination of three people wearing such tennis wear.
UMI: Dresses that complete your style with just one piece are the star of the show.
UMI selected one piece. The tennis racket pattern printed on the shoulders and skirt is cute. It also has the words “Bel trio”, which conveys the message of “nice shot” in Italian, giving a sense of playfulness. The design looks separate at first glance, giving you a sharp style. Not only is it cute, but it’s also comfortable to wear with its moisture-wicking, quick-drying properties, UV protection, and high elasticity.
Add a refreshing accent with this blue sun visor with a lovely cursive logo.
Dress ¥14,080, sun visor ¥4,290, socks ¥1,650, tennis shoes ¥15,400/all FILA
Kana Oshima: Wearing a track jacket that exudes elegance
Kana Oshima wears a gorgeous NEP pattern print series arranged in a modern style as a set. Wearing a track jacket designed to look like a cardigan will give your look an elegant look. The red line that stands out against the navy is also a highlight. Create a unified style by linking the colors of your socks and clothing. The game shirt worn inside has a cutout design that gives it a stylish impression. All of them are made of Kanoko mesh material, which is lightweight and smooth to wear.
The back of the cap is made of mesh. I’m also happy that I don’t have to worry about stuffiness not only while playing, but also in everyday use.
Track jacket ¥17380, game shirt ¥10780, skort ¥11880, cap ¥4950, socks ¥1650, tennis shoes ¥15400 / All FILA
Nana Takahashi: Modern white one-tone outfit
Nana Takahashi’s all-white outfit is impressive. Each one has a different texture and exquisite color difference, so even one tone can create a style with depth. The warm, padded vest and smooth-touch skort are made from moduroy knit material. You can enjoy a soft atmosphere with a seasonal feel.
This sweatshirt is made of gentle cardboard knit material and has a simple design, making it perfect for daily use.
Quilt vest ¥26,180, long sleeve sweatshirt ¥12,980, skort ¥11,880, socks ¥1,650, tennis shoes ¥15,400 / All FILA
Tennis shoes worn by three people
AXILUS 3 is a tennis shoe with a clean white color and a standout brand logo. The outsole uses blown rubber that is lightweight and has excellent cushioning properties. The TPU shank at the arch of the foot controls torsion of the foot and increases midfoot stability and grip. Recommended for those who want to start playing tennis.
Tennis shoes ¥15,400 each/all FILA
Learn from a professional coach! Two FUDGE FRIENDs experience tennis lessons
UMI, who has no experience in tennis but loves the manga “The Prince of Tennis,” and Kana Oshima, who is also inexperienced. Even if you are a complete beginner like us, a professional coach will carefully teach you the basics of tennis.
The two of them practiced their practice seriously, keeping in mind the tips they had been taught.
Let’s play together with experienced Nana Takahashi! Thanks to the gentle guidance of a professional coach, the two beginners quickly improved. They were having fun playing tennis and laughing.
Try target tennis!
Tennis tag glamor Nana Takahashi takes on the challenge of target tennis, which is one of the event attractions! The sight of him defeating targets one after another with his beautiful form and control draws cheers. The two FUDGE FRIENDs also put up a nice fight.
Enjoy sports in style and comfort with Fila clothing!
After working up a nice sweat together, the distance between FUDGE FRIEND and Nana Takahashi, who were meeting each other for the first time, seemed to have become much closer. Through this experience, we will deliver comments from UMI and Kana Oshima!
UMI“The one-piece dress was easy to wear and elegant, and it was extremely light, soft, and smooth to the touch, making it extremely comfortable to wear.The racket pattern on the skirt and shoulders was catchy and cute.I haven’t seen it since my high school class. I was a little nervous about playing tennis, but… (lol) Thanks to the very easy-to-understand instruction, I was able to improve more than I expected in just one day and had a really fun time! I want to get a good sweat and refresh myself by playing tennis again.”
Kana Oshima“Fila’s tennis wear has a wonderful elegant design and smooth feel! I was nervous as it was my first time playing tennis, but I was able to enjoy the game thanks to the detailed instructions! I think I’ll take this as an opportunity to start playing tennis. I thought so.”
