'Tradition never dies,' says the box containing one of Wilson's most innovative products in the history of the brand. The all-white version of the Intrigue Tour likely previews what we will see in a few weeks on the grass of tournaments like Wimbledon, the renowned event known for its tremendous tradition. However, we won't have to wait long to see them in action at the highest level of the circuit. Marta Kostyuk, a tennis player involved in the shoe’s development process, has been using them since the US Open 2024.

In addition to the various technological systems used to go a step further, the main innovation of the Intrigue Tour is that it becomes the brand's first high-performance shoe exclusively for women: "The Intrigue redefines what it means to play fast and will undoubtedly provide female players with the daring advantage they need to dominate the court," declared Gordon Devin, President of Wilson Sportswear. The elegance in design is the first thing that catches the eye when seeing the shoes, followed by the incredible comfort and security felt once they are on.

The confidence provided by the Wilson Intrigue extends from the firm grip around the ankle area, even though it is not a high shoe in that zone, to the instep, including the front of the foot perfectly adapted to the shoe's design. The spectacular sole, especially in the rear part of the foot, provides incredible stability for the players, instilling both tranquility and determination to go all out on the court without worrying about foot support.

The revolutionary aspect of the Wilson Intrigue is the result of a detailed study of women's feet and preferences: "Women's feet are different from men's. Our team spent a lot of time creating a fit that would adapt to their feet while also providing security and confidence on the court," said Shivam Bhan, Senior Director of Footwear at Wilson.

In recent seasons, Marta Kostyuk has been notable for the stunning designs she has worn on the court, such as adapting her wedding dress for Wimbledon. The Ukrainian has been part of the Wilson Intrigue development process: "Wilson and I wanted to create something that would allow women to move faster and be more agile while remaining elegant; the Intrigue does just that. These shoes have made my game faster and more relentless, and I hope they help players worldwide improve their tennis."

Although there are many aspects that make a shoe innovative, where every detail matters, the design of the Wilson Intrigue focuses on three key technologies: UltraShield, used in the mesh to enhance shoe comfort with a breathable design and an ideal fit, FootFrame, the element that makes the shoe feel tailored to your foot, integrated into the shoelaces for a 100% customized fit, and SwiftStep, a cutting-edge insole designed to bring reactive foam closer to the foot.

How many versions of the Wilson Intrigue are there?

Wilson has released three different versions of the Wilson Intrigue shoe, which can also be divided between those designed for clay courts and those for other surfaces. On one hand is the Tour model, focused on the specifications obtained from the study of circuit players seeking optimal on-court performance. In addition to this more specialized model, there are the Pro and Lite versions, each with their own customized design.

What is the price of the Wilson Intrigue?

The Wilson Intrigue shoe, designed exclusively for women, is priced between €100 and €190, depending on the model you choose. The Lite model costs €100, while the Pro is €130. Finally, the Wilson Intrigue Tour is priced at €190.
