Agassi and Federer need decent

Shoes.
Why don't they dump Nike and gets some shoes that will not fall apart or blister their feet. Nike can always paint them.
Nike shoes are crap!

trust me you would work with it if they paid you millions of dollars...

I think it's called playing lots and lots of tennis, not cheap shoes. I guess players that wear other brands don't get blisters? Whatever dude.

In terms of durability and cushion support. Yes I agree they are crap. If I could afford to play on grass or clay that wouldn't be a problem.

Barry, I agreed with you until I got my last pair of shoes. I swore Id never buy Nike again, but then I saw a deal on some Nike's for toe-draggers(the last generation Air Resolves) and damn, right out of the box they felt great on me. But I guess some people didnt feel that way about them. Shoes are tough because peoples hoofs are so unique. But I do agree that Nike is everywhere in tennis. I would like to see a breakdown of the top 20 Mens and Womens players and their sponsors, gotta be a near monopoly for NIke. I remember Boris Becker *****ing that he wouldnt doubt it if they rename Wimbeldon to Nike Arena someday.
