Feed Your Inner 80s Casual With The Ellesse Milan Track Top
If you've got a penchant for classic 80s sportswear worn by the likes of Boris Becker, Chris Evert and Guillermo Villas then the Ellesse Milan track top will be right up your street.
If there's one brand that really captured that whole 'Casual' thing back in the 1980s then Ellesse is certainly up there. There was always something a little bit different about the Italian sportswear brand that gave it a unique 'Casual' appeal. The half tennis ball logo, the colour palettes, the style driven sportswear designs & the ski heritage all put Ellesse in a league of its own. Boasting sportswear endorsements with tennis greats such as Boris Becker, Chris Evert and Guillermo Villas, Ellesse made sportswear cool, fresh and vibrant, unlike anything seen before. The colourful & casual sportswear combined with the centre court connection gave Ellesse the credibility and respect it stills holds so strong today. Giving a nod to the classic funnel neck track top designs of the golden era of one-upmanship, the Ellesse Milan track top now arrives at its spiritual home in some exclusive colourways.

Originally focusing on ski-wear, it was the mid 1970s where Ellesse switched its focus to the tennis courts with 'in your face' colourways & vibrant Italian court apparel. The half tennis ball logo became a symbol of champions thanks to endorsements with the likes of Guillermo Vilas & Boris Becker. The shot of Becker lifting the Wimbledon trophy in 1985 has become a testament to the brand's colourful style and influence on casual sportswear from the 1980s. After working on the wardrobe for the Firm in 2009 with Nick Love, we worked with Ellesse to bring back various archive styles from track tops to classic tennis shorts.
