Yonex kicks off 2024 with new ‘Stan the Man’ collection

Available in both white and black colorways, the latest Stan Wawrinka look is as sleek as the Swiss veteran's game.

A midst the turmoil Down Under—where Swiss veteran Stan Wawrinka fell in five sets far too early—there is a moment of calm coming from the Yonex camp. After all, Stan "the Man" wasn’t about to walk away from Melbourne without leaving an impression.

And what better way to kiss Australia goodbye than to leave a parting gift with his fans?

The new Stan the Man collection by Yonex is built for the competitive player inside us all. Streaks of pink are woven from the upper shoulder to the left leg, creating a cohesive look that resembles the Swiss’s style.

According to Yonex, the clothing material is also equipped with UV reduction, “minimizing heat build-up during play.”

The entire collection comes in both white and black, as well as one warmup jacket which even comes in a shade of grey. This means, even down to the socks, the next on-court look can be a complete Wawrinka lookalike.

While Wawrinka fans and fashion-forward players worldwide buy into the latest “Stan the Man” collection, the hope is that a first-round loss at a major won’t be the last time Wawrinka wears the look.
