As excitement builds for the US Open in New York later this month, brands are pulling out all the stops. Sustainable-fashion designer Rothy’s is launching a tennis-inspired collection made from approximately 72,000 Evian water bottles collected at last year’s tournament.

Two types of sneakers, a cap, a visor and three bags will be available online and at its New York City stores beginning Tuesday (Aug 23), with prices ranging from US$75 (RM337) to US$495 (RM2,221).
