Overview
- Oksana Selekhmeteva, who wore the Nike Summer Slam Dress on May 24, 2026, produced a viral moment on X when the outfit was recognized as the one associated with Aryna Sabalenka.
- Multiple outlets reported the dress had been presented as a Sabalenka 'custom' or exclusive design, but there has been no public clarification from Nike or Sabalenka about exclusivity.
- Reports note this is not the first time Selekhmeteva has surfaced in a Sabalenka-linked kit, with a similar incident during 2025 US Open qualifying creating a pattern noted by tennis media.
- Selekhmeteva lost her Roland Garros first-round match to Marta Kostyuk in straight sets, which limited any on-court consequences of the wardrobe attention.
- The case spotlights how apparel partners assign and distribute player kits and suggests fans and sponsors may seek clearer rules or statements from Nike and tournament organizers.
