this atrocity of a tennis shoe

I'm a bit in shock that cole hahn has actually tried to delve headless into the tennis shoe market....
It seems that their production team and marketing team really just threw in the towel on this one, tennis shoe is the last thing I would think when I saw this shoe given the traction, marketing campaign, design... this list goes on
any thoughts?

Not offended by this they clearly indicate this shoe is made for the individual who would play tennis with a sweater around his waist.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. I always wear a sweatshirt tied around my waist when I play and hit overheads in the opposite direction of the net.

The shoe design aside, I had a good chuckle at the models and how they were photographed on court. Form and grip appear to be nonfactors here. LOL. Doesn't paint a picture of a high performing shoe.

$130.

Still probably better than spending $400 on Fed's ugly ON shoes.

Cole Haan is a Nike company, much like Converse is a Nike company. Converse also put out a Jack Purcell EVO tennis shoe a few years ago, but the purpose of these Cole Haan and Converse releases is to give their consumer base, who don't really shop for Cages/Barricades, want big logos, or are serious tennis players, some options.

Even though Nike doesn't technically own Cole Haan, much of its leadership, including its CEO, Jack Boys, came from Nike/Converse.

This is on the level of Lacoste, only thing they have going for them is Medvedev wears it. Take him out, it goes straight to the bargain bin of TJ Max. This cole haan shoe looks like something you’d wear to the beach.
