Default Federer's New Vapors

Guys......

It appears Federer is wearing the retail Vapor 8's with minimal paintjob modifications...

You be the judge. Calling all *******s.

He was wearing a retail version of his last shoe at the start of last year, but by the Oz Open he was back in his custom ones.

He looks to be in really good shape this year. Or it looks like he is.

I would love to see him check his watch during the match and just turn it up. "SHOWTIME!"

Hmmm, from afar, it looks like the GR version. I guess we need Getty images to get a closer look if he's wearing his typical PE version.

Federer is not quite normal VL8 and even those who had a year ago at the beginning of the season because they have elements drawn from the V 6

On these two pictures show clearly the same on the tips of the V6, and not what the commercial tips VL8


Have marked it here


I think it is very large hybrids and Roger will remain at the current hybrids have elements of the old V6 with visual elements VL8

Yes, but I mean that in the early seasons had a version closer to the Top of a commercial than this year, where elements of the V6 + items VL8

100% PJ.

Fed would laugh a retail version of any piece of equipment off the court.

Shoes - PJ
Socks - PJ
Raquet - PJ
Shorts - PJ
Shirt - PJ
Strings - PJ
String savers - PJ
Stencil - PJ
Bandana - PJ
Overgrip - PJ
WB - PJ

Federer is a PJ.

Its pretty obvious like his previous shoes the soles on the Vapour 8's that he's wearing is different from the retail version. Don't have a pic but when you see him walking on court the sole is totally black while the Vapour 8's have the yellow groove thing down the centre.

If you want to see the shoes in a better resolution then save it to enlarge.



1) When a closer is the first picture you can see something like FIT-FRAME
2) Tongue clearly with a V6 and is not sewn like the one in VL8
3) Front shoe that edged material that were sewn on hybrid V6
