If Nike started a breast cancer awareness line like Polo does with their "pink pony" then it would be awesome and people could piece together stuff to wear but as it is stand alone pink shoes don't work.

These are basically black and white shoes with a splash of pink. Any white/black combo outfit works, which make these easier to match than a lot of blue-based shoes. You wouldn't want crazy colors as part of your outfit with the shoes anyway.

Agreed! Or maybe that should take over their "Livestrong" line?!?! I'd proudly wear a pink wristband, no prob!

Nike did do a breast cancer awareness themed line of basketball shoes a few years back. Pink was/is going to be a trending color for 2013 and Nike knows that. Nike knows that the trends are a year in advance and incorporate that into some of the designs.

"I can relate. If Nike advertised that they were donating a percentage of the proceeds from each shoe toward breast cancer research, that would be appreciated, and the design would indeed have meaning and purpose! Missed opportunity for Nike in my opinion."

It's myopic (not on your part AlfaAce, in general) to think a billion dollar company is going to do that despite what we all hope these big businesses will do. If they're going to create something like that it would be a limited edition and charge twice as much to recoup operating costs.

I dunno what your problem is OP, it's not like the whole shoe is pink...

TW says "Anthracite / Polarized Pink / Black / White"
The triangles and foot frame are black, but the main color is anthracite.

I saw these on foot for the first time today. Honestly, if you don't mind wearing pink then these are a top 5 vapor colorway. The pink is only visible if you standing right behind the person. From a side view, the pink pops out perfectly and the black balances perfectly..

You just said this colour way was awful a few days ago...

That would be a horrible tan line.

The colorway looks fine in my opinion. Federer pulls off most of the outfits he's given by Nike, and he's worn a worse pink before (the all pink polo with brown shorts from 2011 really hurt my eyes). These are just pink accents, plus the shirt doesn't have any holes in the back (like the poor fellow wearing that horrid pink Lotto shirt).

And don't forget, only real men wear pink!!

[mbm0912]

you had better be a pretty darn good player to sport these new Pink Vapors to your local courts. Or be named Roger Federer...

Yes, not something I would wear. But, design-wise the colorway is awesome!

I read on a French online shop (can't post link here for obvious reason) that the grey/pink polo is for "Night session", and the blue one for "Day session".
If it's true, it's been a long time since Federer have 2 outfits for the AO. I think it would be great

Then... I wonder which shoes will he wear with the BLUE polo ???
(I really can't imagine the anthracite/pink V9 with the blue polo...)
–
So far, the available spring colorways are anthracite/pink (AO), and orange/white (post-AO)...

don't worry, Federer will make pink look cool. I am sure of it

Awful color blocking on Nike's part.

If you don't like it, dont buy it.

I still think that these aren't as bad looking as those Bubblegum 2.3 Ltd. Edition they released a couple of years ago.

What color socks do you think he will wear with it? Are we sure its the black shorts he is wearing with the outfit and not the white?
