Athletes-turned-designers are nothing new – the Williams sisters have been doing it for years – and thanks to them, on-court apparel has been getting some sweet restructuring.

However, for her collaboration with Cole Haan, ace tennis player Maria Sharapova took her ideas off the court.

The result: a casual and playful yet elegant, knee-high suede boots. It is detailed in tonal leather and is fully lined in soft leather and fabric for breathability. Nike Air Technology ensures that you’ll be cushioned, and supported all day long. The top border folds down for style variety. Elegant stitching, stained and polished leather sole, and mini stacked heel complete this eye-catching boot’s look.

The Air Sarafina comes in black and dark grey and is available at Cole Haan for $298.00.
