Palest Purple is the second finish Nike is putting out on this NikeCourt tee. It is a men's short-sleeve top built from a blend rather than pure cotton, at 57 percent cotton and 43 percent polyester, which gives the fabric a brushed, soft surface while still allowing Dri-FIT to handle moisture by moving sweat off the skin so it evaporates faster. A ribbed collar keeps the neck opening from losing its shape, and the shirt is machine washable. Nike frames the design around notable moments in tennis, which suggests the front carries printed content rather than being left plain. Because the blend leans cotton-heavy, the tee reads closer to casual wear than to the synthetic shirts Nike's tennis players compete in.
It is scheduled to release on August 17, 2026 at a retail price of $42. NikeCourt is where Nike groups both its competition tennis kit and its off-court tennis apparel, and this tee sits on the latter side, arriving the same day as a White version plus two Carlos Alcaraz shirts.
