Anyone know the sizing for these? Price seems great especially for the polo and I might actually go down to the 5th avenue store

Sure, they will want to sell tennis gear at some point, but that is not the primary objective. By the way, the shopping experience in their Japan stores is pretty cool -- free alterations in an hour on anything you buy there.

Thanks for the info. Haven't been to Tokyo in a while - maybe next yr.

But they could do both. Setting up stores and setting up websites are different things.

PS - like the avatar; careful with that beverage.

T.W. will have to carry this product I can't imagine they wouldn't want to sell it

I don't like that Logo. I think they should change it to Gozilla, or Mothra or something similar. More standout and unique

Ha just got back from walking around the 5th ave shop this evening and they are working as I speak midnight est to get the products on display. However I did not see anything Nole on the mannequin s

The shop is closed, go to the Peninsula around the corner for gin tonic.

I don't think they're allowed to sell it as of now

I personally love the way they look on No1e. Would love to see some more photos if any of you bought some gear!

aznhippos · 08-30-2012, 02:38 PM

Haha I just got the Djoker US Open polo from the 5th ave store yesterday; pretty amazing

T21D · 08-30-2012, 04:46 PM

Looks really nice! And how is the fit? Oh and also are those warm-up jackets (the one with the cap) worth buying?

I need something to wear during trainings in winter.

^karomanovic, I visited the store when I went to the US Open earlier this week. I bought the Warmup jacket which is 100% polyester and rain resistant. It's very good and i'd recommend it for the winter. I think the jacket you see there is the Track Jacket which is 15% spandex and 85% polyester with ribbed cuffs of another material. I have the blue shorts and polo as well as the warmup jacket and they def fit a little small. Small might be the wrong word to use because the style of these clothes seems to be slim fitting so to replicate a looser fit like nike/adidas you'll need to go up a size perhaps.

Yes, I also noticed that the one in the picture is the Track jacket

Which colour of the Warmup jacket did you get? And thanks a lot for the info!

the japansese brand and the color and style... all I can think of is prince of tennis LOLOL still waiting for a boomerang snake from djoko!

frunk · 08-31-2012, 12:42 PM

ANYBODY in NYC, PM ME so we can hopefully arrange an apparel pickup. I'm VERY interested.

Surecatch · 08-31-2012, 12:52 PM

I gotta say......I love the simple designs and I think Nole' looks fantastic in this stuff. I don't even mind the Uniqlo logo. I don't care for the splashy colorful neon stuff that some of the endorsement deals provide. I like the simple, basic, classic, vintage styled stuff and I think Novak's new duds sort of fits that bill.

It's amazing how much different Novak looks now compared to earlier in his career. He was smaller, wore oversized stuff, and had a bigger head of hair. Now he looks like a conditioned athlete, streamlined, matured, seasoned. And the uniqlo stuff fits him in a way that accentuates his physique.

I was all like wtf? when I heard he signed with Uniqlo, but I have to say... I'm impressed.

What's the shirt cost? I like the zipper - but kinda plain.

Looks like LA is getting a store soon:
