Nike Spring 2013 Predictions/Hopes/Wants Thread

The volt is very awful... I dislike it a lot. The black/volt for RG was awesome.

But the black/pink... they aren't the best colorways (obsidian ftw), but they are very beautiful... not in pictures, maybe.

I have the Obsidian/university blue colorway and have navy laces and they are awesome!! Love the Vapor 9 but the new colorways are not the greatest. I just can't imagine that Nike has been very successful with the black.pink. Hell black/volt (substitute the pink for volt) would hvae looked much better or any color for that matter. Just don't know what they were thinking!

The highlighter shoes are for loud kids and teenagers, some of whom may be prone to wrestling with other dudes in hot tubs during the offseason.



The black/pinks are for real men who are secure in their masculinity and also their goatness.

I think I'm going to wait for the Midnight Navy/Poison Green vapors. Those are going to be epic.

^^^^^ So Fed is going to wear them for his night matches?

Wonder if Rory McIlroy got a 'no black/pink combo' clause in his Nike mega deal...

Rory looks like a tool no matter what he's wearing.

Get off the Haterade! Rory is ok. Although Woz is no Elin...

I don't know, he's a pretty goofy looking guy. He certainly didn't look very good in that Oakley gear, looked more like a pro bowler than golfer. I mean maybe he'll look alright in Nike but they haven't exactly been known for their good looking golf gear. Polo is one of the nicer golf outfitter's and Burberry looked good when Adam Scott was wearing it but there's a lot to be desired out on the pga when it comes to clothing.

Spring polo and shorts, amongst other goodies

[Tennis Rules]

hopping of an yellow nadal shirt with blue application and yellow blue bandana...

also want a sky blue short

at least...a complete white and a complete black edition

[Bobby Jr]

The outfits the non-Federer Nike sponsored guys are wearing at the Open are utterly heinous.

Tomic's outfit is three items - shorts, shirt, shoes - none of which remotely match. Don't they bother to look in a mirror before they go out on court?

Did you - or anybody else - buy Spring "Fed" anthracite short ?
Is it the same anthracite shade as usual? (Masters 2010, USO 2011, FO 2012)
Thanks.

My new ones are the net ones, or whatever they're called. White stripe down the lower sides

The black socks for Rog during the Davy match are really throwing me off.

Imagine if he wore pink socks

[raphMODE]

Did/Will anyone buy the RF platinum short ?
(which he will use for Indian Wells, I guess)

I'm curious to know what shade of grey it really is : very close close to white, or darker.
Any pictures would be welcome if/when someone has it.
Thanks

Are these the shorter shorts that Rafa is supposed to wear this season? Or are they only for practice?

I will start.

Federer:
- Mint Green crew with black shorts, black bandana and mint green shoes. Very sleek looking.
- It will be the 10th Vapor so I think Nike have something special planned.
- Hoping for a Day/Night outfit for Australian Open 2013.
- Red polo for IW/Miami

Nadal:
- A true Aqua (think Miami Dolphins) mock neck zipper. I want Nike to put Rafa in something other than a crew.
- Return of the Capri pants with a different approach. Even if it was for Spring/Summer I would love to see Rafa back in some Capris.
- I think Nike are going to stick with the .3's so expect Rafa in a 5.3.
- Purple for IW/Miami

Del Potro:
- Bright Fushia crew.

Post your predictions/hopes/wants and we will see who guessed correctly early June.

I hope they go under.
