NikeCourt released the "U.S. Open" collection for the upcoming tennis event hosted in New York City and there's an even bigger release coming soon for tennis fans. Nike announced the Serena Williams "Greatness" Collection today, which was actually originally "instigated" by Nike CEO Mark Parker.

According to Nike, "Parker guided the design team to create items that accurately capture her personality."

Included in the collection are the Air Max 1 Ultra, Roshe LD-1000, and NikeCourt Flare. All three shoes feature a black and white colorway with a marble pattern and Nike's safari pattern. The phrase "You are strong, powerful and beautiful" is printed on the inside of all of the sneakers.

Expect the sneakers to be available on August 27 at NikeLab retailers.
