Looks like Rafa's socks are still covered in clay a little bit (the bottom pic)

I know that this is not a real close up pic, but it was the best I could find.I had never noticed that Roger also wore a special Vapor V for his "smoke" outfit that he wore only once during the US Open 2008. Does anybody here actually know why he only wore the outfit once, and then always the red?

...because it looked ridiculous
Smoke is a better secondary colour IMHO

Anyone notice that the heel part looks sewed on, as opposed to the retail which is plastic :-?[/url] Rafael Nadal @ Queens Club June 2011 by luke_1983uk, on Flickr[/IMG]

I really think Nike could do a better job with the PJs of Rogi's shoes. The ones they did for him at the beginning of the year in Australia, Dubai and Indian Wells, as well as parts of Miami were almost identical, but they were still mostly V6s. Even if there is something they really can't include from the V8 because of Roger's preferences, they could at least make the cut out panels and try and get the colour pops in the right places.

You can see from FabFed's pictures, the main difference is the full length Lunarlon outsole, which Roger obviously doesn't like, which is also why I assume they're going back to Zoom Air next year. But they could make a bit more effort to conceal the fact that he's using a shoe two years out of rotation, whilst marketing some new stuff he doesn't even like.
I mean, if you're gonna lie about the stuff he's using, at least do a good job, right?

I know its not Fed or Rafa, but I loved Djokovic's MiAdidas B6s from this year's Oz open.
And also Berdman's custom PJ 2K10s (The picture is enormous, so I'll just link it):

The less red the better for sure
Very nice. The commercially available color is too yellow!

Do you guys all have a major foot fetish?
No, just a shoe fetish

Haha nice one
Do you guys all have a major foot fetish?
a person with a shoe fetish is correctly called a *sneakerhead*- heres the dictionary def.
A sneakerhead is a person who owns multiple pairs of shoes as a form of collection and fashion. It is often manifested by the use of shoes primarily made for sports, such as tennis or basketball, as normal everyday clothing. ...
i am considered a sneakerhead because i collect jordans... etc..

I'm not shocked about the sneaker head thing (there are a lot of nice tennis shoes out there), it's just i wasn't expecting jordans

Well, u cant really collect tennis shoes because they go down in value each year. Jordans on the other hand wont go dwon in value

Does Raga use the thickest midsoles out of all the players. I would have thought that thinner midsoles would help more with getting more feedback from the ground when moving, and so be better for balance, agility and more efficient movement.
