Carlos Alcaraz steps on US Open in full Royal Asport colors

At the first round of the US Open, New York, Carlos Alcaraz arrived on court wearing an outfit that instantly caught our eye. His full kit - deep purple shorts, jacket, and shoes, paired with a bold contrast color - looked like it had been lifted straight from the Royal Asport Cycleworks design studio.

For us at Royal Asport, this was more than a coincidence. The rich purple base is exactly our house tone, the color that defines our identity across Studio Royal Asport, Classics, and Curated Imports. On Alcaraz, the only difference was in the accent: where our ecosystem proudly carries the bright orange of the Pyrenean sun, his Nike outfit swapped it for pink.

The effect was striking. Purple and pink together radiate confidence, modernity, and a touch of audacity - values we also stand for when crafting bicycles, apparel, and curated cycling experiences. It was as if tennis’ brightest young champion had, knowingly or not, stepped into our palette and carried it under the floodlights.

We’ll let the tennis world debate his shaved-head look and his game. What matters to us is how clear it is that certain color schemes carry a timeless power. Purple remains Royal. Whether on a handcrafted Pyrenean frame or on the shoulders of the world’s best athlete, it signals exclusivity, boldness, and identity.

Welcome to the Royal colors, Carlito!
