Fed's shoes at the Nike event, taken from Down The Line tennis blog.
I think its that actor-dude (dunno his name)...whos the dude wearing the cage 2's?
Just throw it out there: Rafa US Open Crew, good shirt, but potentially the worst design flaw ever: WHO CHOSE TO PUT THE LABELS ON THE SHOULDER?
Seriously, drove me insane within 3minutes and tore them out. Couldn't get over it, bizarre
Next year's shoes will emit color-coodinated laser beams and include a halo of negative ion-producing bulbs around the midsole, which will act to deodorize the feet of the wearer and also rid the air near the shoes of harmful pollutants. Look for the Australian Open to flood Rod Laver Arena with smoke as Rafa enters the stadium for his first match, and then listen for the collective gasp of the crowd as Nadal's shoes completely clean the air by the time warmups are complete. $379.99 at select Nike retailers. Organizers at Tennis Australia, when asked about the dramatic entrance, said "Not a chance, mate."Oh, thanks anyway. No news on next year's shoes?
how is the size/fit of the new Federer polos? slim like the aussie or more lose fit like his usual stuff?
Wow. I'm half dazzled by all the technology (not to mention how she talks about it!), and half amused by the fact that they tout things like laser cut buttonholes as a weight saver. I'm sure Federer is much quicker now that he doesn't have to haul around all that nasty thread.I found this interesting article and decided to share with you all.
What technology do we not see from the stands?
There are a lot of performance benefits that are not visible from the stands. Roger Federer’s polo, for example, is the best expression that Nike Tennis has to offer around the idea of “zero distraction.”
The placket is a crisp, lightweight woven fabric that is constructed with bonding [a no-sew method of garment-making], and which uses laser-cut rather than sewn buttonholes to eliminate weight. The side seams, shoulders, and armholes are bonded together, so overall we’re able to eliminate excess weight from the garment and reduce chafing where seams meet the skin.

I really like how Nike misrepresents the Lunar Lites as what Fed wears.
Its pretty damn deceiving.
Was this Black/Gold Victory Polo ever released?
Was this Black/Gold Victory Polo ever released?
Babolast, thanks. That is interesting.
I found this about Adidas' approach:
"we find a piece of cloth, cut it to look like a shirt, and put 3 stripes on each arm."
(ok, I made that up)
