There aren’t too many sports where an athlete’s shoes aren’t arguably the most important part of hers or his uniform. Tennis is no exception. Serena Williams – the greatest female athlete of all time – has long taken pride in her footwear partly for an athletic fashion trend but overwhelmingly for an aid to her performance.

These Court Flare 2 shoes from Nike are the latest in the Williams playing closet. She wore this style and color as recently as the 2019 U.S. Open. Williams has autographed this limited edition (10) pair of NikeCourt Flare 2 obsidian shoes in gold paint pen. Her signature is deemed authentic by virtue of Upper Deck Authenticated’s Five-Step Process.
