Petra Kvitova shows off sneakers gifted by Nike for her baby as she prepares to welcome 1st child with husband Jiri

Petra Kvitova recently unveiled a pair of sneakers that were specially gifted for her first child, whom she is preparing to welcome with her husband, Jiri Vanek.

Kvitova and Vanek began dating in the summer of 2021, and they tied the knot a couple of years later on July 22, 2023, in a private ceremony in Prague alongside family and close friends.

Kvitova rang in the new year on the 1st of January, 2024, by revealing that she was pregnant with Vanek and that they were expecting their first child soon.

"On the first day of 2024 I wanted to wish you a happy new year and share the exciting news that Jiri and I will be welcoming a baby into our family this summer!" the Czech player wrote on social media.

As the two-time Major champion prepares to embrace motherhood for the first time, Nike surprised her with a pair of sneakers for her first child. The shoe looked adorable in brown and two shades of blue, coupled with the dark green sneakers. The Nike tick also stood out in pink and white.

Kvitova wasted no time in thanking Nike for the lovely present. She posted a photo of the shoe on her Instagram Stories with a caption that read:

"Thank you @nike."
