Two Adidas brands have collaborated to produce a collection designed as a tie-in for the Roland Garros French Open tennis tournament, launching it on March 30.

Yohji Yamamoto's Y-3 label is working with Adidas Tennis for the range, which has Jo-Wilfried Tsonga of France and Ana Ivanovic of Serbia as its model athletes.

Ultra-bright Hawaiian floral prints and stark monochromatic coloring are both intended to reference the work of award-winning Japanese designer Yamamoto, the first looking to his Spring/Summer 2015 collection, the second a hallmark of his creative style.

Contributions from the sporting side of things include breathable mesh panels and the adizero clay court tennis shoe's template.
