So, back when Serena was slaying courts left and right earlier this summer, a few of us jumped on twitter to talk about Serena’s shoe.
Namely, the fact that… there wasn’t one.
Until now.

The “Greatness” Collection, inspired by Serena Williams.

When asked about the idea to title the line “Greatness,” Serena responded,
“They decided to call it Greatness and I was like, okay cool I love that […] When you think of greatness, you think of someone that’s great, but also a great person has to be positive and influence other people to be great,” she told Yahoo Style. “That’s what it’s all about — you can be powerful, strong, and beautiful all at the same time. It’s for everyone.” [source]
That message is reinforced inside of each product, where you’ll see positive messages like the following:
Here. Please. Take my money.
All of it.
