As much a style icon in the game as her younger sister, Serena Williams, the limited-edition apparel line is named ‘Eleven by Venus’.

Venus tagged her post with the short message saying, “BTS, @elevenbyvenus x @kswiss collaboration, Perfection”.
The company put the collection out on its webpage with a message from the veteran, detailing the ideas that went into designing the footwear and apparel line.
“This capsule collection is close to my heart as I created each style for women like you. Anything but traditional, the collaboration of K-Swiss and Eleven by Venus Williams is a representation of the authenticity and boldness of both brands – even in times of uncertainty,” the message goes.
“With a twist on the traditional plaid design, this exclusive design will have you ready to forge forward with coolness and confidence,” it further says.
