There's a guy selling customised USO 2017's on the Bay, I thought that was you Kimguroo.
I have some customized items but I don't have USO 2017. Probably pobbles from this forum?
The guy said he always buy two shoes and customize one then selling it immediately.

Already finished the graphic. The pic was before revision though. I just need shoes now haha or
Might need to revise to "5" ^_^

Graphic looks awesome! I made a vector of this image as well, but having a hard time finding a printer that can print it with all the smaller details cut out... do you have a specific printer you use? Thanks!

I am using cutting machine for heat transfer materials.
I agree that It's very hard to cut smaller images so I need to adjust graphics.

It seems that since Wimbledon 2016 Federer's grand slam shoes have actually had 3D plastic (i.e. with depth) embedded into the material of the flyknit heel for the PE graphics.
 
Holy ****, your work is amazing man.

I for sure thought it was you on **** who sold the USO 2017 fly knit reds--they looked fabulous as well.

I would love more Nadal PEs if only Nike made them more readily available.

I’ve only done same customizations so did not have anything to post pics for a while.
Also after Fed went uniqlo, less and less customizations haha.
I decided to buy a few uniqlo items to see their products.
Finally shirts and Jackets were arrived.
As I expected uniqlo items are not top quality but for the money, it’s not bad.
Put RF logo to see how it looks on uniqlo....... judge yourself hahaha

Jacket did not have any logos so it’s super boring so decided to put some logos.
Unfortunately logos are not easy to make. Not perfect but it’s not bad.
I reversed logos to opposite sides but still much better looking than original one.

Somewhat reason it was hard to make logos and time consuming.
It looks okay even though it’s not perfect ^_^
I prefer Nike tech fleece jackets but it looks okay especially design and the price.

What model is that jacket without the logos?

It’s called stretch sweat jacket and $40.
There are two versions. One with pocket in the front of jacket and the other for regular style ( same jacket above).
Federer were used both style of jackets.
He wore non-hoodie style jacket but it was not available so it was only for him.

I honestly think it’s good looking. Better than what I can do tbh. I might send you my Uniqlo polo to get a RF logo done on there. :)

You should make a logo with the red box but with RF inside instead of "Uniqlo" :)
You have a point there. RF logo with uniqlo looks strange in my opinion. I am not sure uniqlo wants to give up one of their signature logo to replace RF letters but if Nike will not release RF logo, this option will be the best in my opinion. RF letters can be just plain fonts and it will look fine.
Honestly it was a little weird for the first time but When I keep looking at the Jacket, It looks fine with RF logo haha.

Don’t mind do it for you (actually it will be more economical that I can order stuffs and send to you for saving shipping fee ^_^).

Holy ****. This jacket is fire.

How much would this cost? I know the retail Dry Stretch Uniqlo jackets don't even have Uniqlo logos on there so that's like 4 logos to add.
Mmm probably less than $2-3 for materials haha but it’s a little time consuming work.
I really like white color jacket and red logo combination. It looks very clean. Might be hard to keep clean looking since it’s white color though.

No. I bought regular jackets which do not have any logo since Uniqlo does not make tennis jacket currently. Probably uniqlo will add tennis Jacket next year and probably charge $10-30 more.

Making uniqlo logos are simple but tricky since it has many letters. So what reason my cutting machine does not cut letters very cleanly. It’s not perfect but it’s decent looking.

Reversed logos in correct places.
Letters are slightly misaligned but can’t really see unless I see those logos very closely.
Also Jacket fabric does not do well with high heat from heat press machine so I saw slight fabric discoloration.
Not sure it can be seen from pic. White color jacket was fine.
Putting logos are little tricky because it’s very hard to align lines. Fortunately those were okay.

Do you think it would be more cleaner if it was just black and white?

I might not understand correctly......
If you are talking about clean look for logos (alignment of logos and letters). The issue was my cutting machine. Strangely Graphics were not recognized well and cutting machine cut letters inconsistently. Nothing to do with colors.
Or if you are talking about red and white uniqlo logo vs black and white uniqlo logo, Red and white logo is their color so I felt it should be red and white letters. Only other colors are small square uniqlo logos without letters but without letters, probably it’s less notable to public.

I meant about the heat press. Imo it would be a cleaner finish with the logo being black and white. I see that the logo wasn’t consistent. On the white one the ‘Uni’ part is kinda off center where on the navy one it’s more inline.

Actually those letters are exactly same since cutting machine cut those letters.
I have several option to make this logo. One method is just cut red square shape then put white letters.
The other is cut red square with letters then put white letters. I picked this method because I can apply those white letters to exact spot. When I was talking about inconsistency, it was cutting letters. Somewhat reason my cutting machine does not cut letters cleanly. Uniqlo fonts have straight lines but some Letter lines have less straight line or rounded but very hard to recognize within 8” distance. Also blue jacket letter “o” was slightly misaligned so I can see a little bit of blue color of jacket but No one will see you within 10” distant so it’s okay for me haha.

Yeah, I said the retail versions.

Only the athletes have real access to the Uniqlo logo'ed jackets then they get their various sponsors added on top such as the "Nissin" that Nishi has on his right sleeve.

No. I bought regular jackets which do not have any logo since Uniqlo does not make tennis jacket currently. Probably uniqlo will add tennis Jacket next year and probably charge $10-30 more.

Don't get my hopes up like that! I wish.

I think atm realistically, only Japanese fans can really get their hands on the logoed jackets.

Great work. I've been hunting one of these jackets for awhile so it's cool to see.

Oh my bad, I had thought those were already done by Uniqlo. Very nice man, wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. I had collected a lot of the jackets in past years. Yeah too bad they don’t make anymore currently

Finally I got the pink one from Japan.
Pink shirts are light pink and it does not look bad as I thought.
Material was same.
Hat with small RF logo looks better than I thought so I decided to put it.
Thought about putting RF logo for shorts too but it might be too much.... actually it’s not bad RF logo at shorts...

Also received wristbands, hat and socks.
Socks looked normal socks since there is no specific shape for certain areas so I thought a little too expensive for normal socks but as soon as I touched the socks, socks was thicker than it looks. Small embroidery logos were better than I thought. Wristbands were normal cotton and synthetic materials. A little surprised by it’s “made in Japan”.
Hat was a little surprisingly better than I expect. Uniqlo used double fabrics so it’s a little thicker than Nike hats but fit was very nice and comfortable especially when I wear the hat front ( but I play tennis with wearing hat backwards)

Is the hat made of full poly or a blend? Also nice Nishi polo. Wish they gave polos for Fed. Anyway, did you get a chance to find the one Nishi was wearing in Washington DC?

It’s 100% poly. Thin double fabrics were used so a little thick. Mesh like fabrics at side panels and top panels and two outside front panels are same fabrics. Inside front panel material is not sure but a little stiff material so it keeps the shape of hat so when I wear hat, feels similar to old Fed hat. Also bill is a little short version.
Only have US open Nishkori shirts and one Japanese version of Nishkori white shorts similar to US open shorts but slightly different one. Looks like the shorts was for Asian tournaments shorts for him. In Japan, there were dark navy and black Nishkori shorts but those are all gone quickly so white was only option.

Looks like a comfy hat! Was it fairly cheap?

I had women’s white with silver swoosh courtballistec 2.3 and always thought I might need to do something before I wear it. Just too lazy and thought about wearing it without customization but can’t resist against white color.
Not a big fan of purple but Nike never released purple CB 2.3 so decided to go with purple. Originally thought about painting neon yellow swoosh but it came out more green color. Anyway green color swoosh blends well with purple.
Also thought about painting back of heel area but decided to put images. Shoelace is terrible. Probably I might change to green color or purple color shoelace ^_^

The lime green would pop out a lot. I could see that. It would be cool if you made an “off white” version.

Uniqlo won’t make “100” shirts so I Made 100 shirts. Don’t have better equipment to make it better but decent. Uniqlo fabric is too thin to apply any heat press. Can’t believe white color also discolored slightly.
I bought better heat transfer material which can do with low heat. It was expensive but similar result. I intentionally picked poly uniqlo active shirts so it can be played for tennis activities but cotton might be easier to work with since fabric will be thick enough but cotton shirts does not last long since it does not look like new after a few washes.
It was too time consuming work so Not sure I will make the shirts again haha

Made “101” shirt.
Not sure about original color of 101 shirts but it looks more green color.
It should be slightly lighter than this green though... anyway....
Wondering Uniqlo will keep creating these kind of shirts until he breaks 110......
