Hopefully this thread can last the distance.

Federer in 'Perfect Pink' for Toronto and Cincy then he switches to 'Football Blue' with khaki shorts and 'Dark Obsidian' polo with matching shorts for night matches.

Nadal in 'Solar Red' for the Masters 1000 series then 'Hot Lime' for the Open.

"If you’re looking for a big gear buzz at the Open, keep your eyes on Rafael Nadal’s feet. He’ll be wearing glow-in-the-dark Nike Air Max Courtballistec shoes, injected with a potent dose of reflective matter—think orange construction worker vests—into the polyurethane midsoles, according to a Nike source. The shoes, when placed under a fluorescent light, are supposed to give off a glow that lasts up to five minutes. The idea is to have Nadal enter a darkened Arthur Ashe Stadium for the first men’s night match with his shoes all aglow, according to the Nike source and the owners of Mason’s Tennis Mart and the Grand Central Racquet/NYC Racquet chain (who have the co-exclusive rights to stock and sell Nadal's Open shoes at their Manhattan stores during the Open). Meanwhile, a spokesman for the USTA, which runs the Open, says it hasn’t committed to “anything at all like that.”

With or without the Rafa’s illuminated grand opening, for a whopping $189 a pair, maybe the shoes should not only glow in the dark, but also get up and dance on their own."

At that price they better be as good or better than Marty Mcfly's Nikes.

Oh no, horror! :eek:

Hopefully Federer goes out early in both Toronto and Cincy, so I won't have to watch the terrible pink... :lol:

I guess the pink will be one of those outfits whereby either you love it or hate it.

Personally don't like it at all.
