Born on tennis courts and becoming a style icon, the Tournament returns for Spring Summer 2026 in a more essential, refined and contemporary version.
Certain sneakers go through fashions without ever losing their identity. This is the case of the Tournament by Valsport, one of the most representative creations in the history of the brand and among the first to enter the collection of the Italian fashion house. Born as a tennis shoe, its name bears the imagery of the great tournaments and champions who contributed to making this sport a symbol of elegance, discipline and passion. The same passion that, over the decades, has accompanied its evolution, transforming it into one of the brand’s most iconic sneakers, capable of encompassing all the sporting charm of the Seventies through a timeless aesthetic.
For Spring Summer 2026 this legacy is reinterpreted through the new Tournament Nude, a version that looks to the past without nostalgia and translates the distinctive elements of tradition into a current, refined and versatile language. The sneaker was in fact born as an evolution of the original silhouette and takes up the iconic Davis sole, reinterpreting it with cleaner and more essential lines.
What characterizes it is the use of fine unlined deer-effect leather, which gives the shoe an extraordinary softness right from the first use. The essential construction highlights the quality of the materials and attention to detail, while the characteristic perforated boomerang, Valsport’s aesthetic signature, adds visual lightness and promotes breathability. The result is a sneaker designed to accompany everyday life naturally, combining comfort, lightness and stylistic research.
