Federer ON Tennis Shoes Launching

[jerry.federer]

Kith is launching the new Federer tennis shoes worn by Fed June 30th. Interesting to see how close to the player version it is and how comfortable these are

Look good but a little clunky maybe. Interested to see some reviews.

Why would they sell a tennis shoe exclusively on a non-tennis site

Love On running shoes, but these need better color patterns......

Try to bring attention to shoe collectors.
it will be gone by 10 sec in my opinion. Wondering what will be the price.

 

[CosmosMpower]

Perfect for old men walking around the mall, comes in a package with a red corvette with tan seats

 

[TopspintheTerrible]

Will be sold out in 10 min & put on GOAT for a 50% markup.

 

[curtstead]

Good luck to all attempting get these. Prob gonna need it.

You’ll need a bot to get these...

 

[CleaN]

Oh cmon! I have been waiting for months to have nice wide shoes. And now they do this?
Can't anything release normally these days...

This. Not even gonna bother trying to get a pair. Trying to get a ps5 was bad enough.

LOL, when the On shoe IPO drops in late September, it will make many investors multi millionaires and make Fed a billionaire many times over. These shoes may look "plain," but it's the biggest IPO to drop in years.

 

[megamind]

I would've been interested if it wasn't an exclusive. I wanna buy a shoe because it performs well, not because it's an exclusive piece.

The exclusive piece thing is more of a basketball-watcher, not basketball-player type crowd thing.

Does the same crowd exist for tennis?

 

[nba.nfl.man]

Why is ON just not releasing it on its own site is my question.

I doubt it will do well, it barely anyone has heard of On. I bought a pair of cloud flyers just to check them out and honestly the upper is nice but they are nothing special. I see someone wearing a pair maybe once every few months in a major US city

If they had NB sizing, I'd love to have these. Wait, I can't get a bank loan for that amount.

1. On is making a move to expand in the US market and is starting to show up everywhere.
2. Actually, Kith and Federer go pretty far back. Sneaker shopping on complex, launching Nike Vapor atmos and also the Jordan 3 collabs and Kith.
3. Marketing element to it to get people exposed to the brand.

Agree, ON is not targetting the avarage consumers just yet. Else, they would've released it way back when Roger first use this shoe in Qatar. Would sell out quick for sure.

 

[MasterZeb]

Defo trying for these. In the market for a new shoe anyway.

 

[Rattler]

Could they put one or two more ON logos on the shoe?

 

[aenri86]

I messaged On through their IG account and they said the shoe will be getting a general release not so far from now. This launch release is going to be very limited.

 

[aenri86]

I guess maybe Kith is better prepared for this type of launches. On’s website wasn’t ready for the launch of the Limited Release Center Court. There will be hype around the shoe and scalpers with bots will definitely push for this.

 

[KingGrayskull]

The co-founder of Kith is Paul Annacone’s son (Nick). This is likely why they got dibs on the early release.

The more you know...

 

[Nicholas Kakatsis]

Already out of stock in EU. When I logged 5' past 10am CET i could see only sizes 7,7.5,10,10.5. Don't know if they had other sizes earlier on...

 

[Bender]

it's the biggest IPO to drop in years.

That sounds like hyperbole. Uber and Airbnb were all in the last two years for example.

Really ?

Tell me who exactly these shoes are aimed at ?

 

[tonylg]

Any good on slippery grass?

 

[Nicholas Kakatsis]

Oh.. btw EUR205 price tag

 

[Rattler]

Oh.. btw EUR205 price tag

so roughly $250 USD?

 

[jmacdaununder2]

So $324.58 AUD!!

 

[McLovin]

Oh.. btw EUR205 price tag

so roughly $250 USD?

But after you remove the VAT it comes to....$42?

Is there a link for this?

Still available after 5min of release haha
And $200.

 

[Devil_dog]

$200…

Got two pairs - super expensive but I need a new shoe anyway and hate the new Nikes, which are $150 anyway

 

[Gemini]

$230 US w/ tax and shipping. I seem to have snagged a pair. So let's see if they show up.

 

[curtstead]

Snagged a pair 11.5US, will see if they show up as well?

 

[STRONGSTYLE]

"Swiss Engineering" hah, just copying a common German tagline?

 

[Devil_dog]

Ordered…

 

[kimguroo]

Wow. I did not know you have to pay shipping fee.
$200 might be a little expensive because tennis shoes wear out quickly…
Slower sales than I thought.

Full disclosure. I'm not really interested in wearing them immediately if at all. This is my one splurge for the year and I may put them back out on the aftermarket. I'm just curious to examine them firsthand. $200 is a lot for a shoe that I'm going to outright abuse so it's not really in my mindset to play in them at the moment.

These could be the old stock which was supposed to launch with Fed's initial return at Dubai tournament but didn't, due to his early round exit?

 

[curtstead]

They starting to sell out? Tried to order a 2nd pair, order was confirmed and subsequently cancelled.

 

[Maverick13]

$200 is actually fantastic for these. Considering these are the model with all the tech Fed is actually wearing. Once that’s removed and they begin to mass market actual tennis shoes (non Fed signature) they could possibly only cost $120-$140.

 

[aenri86]

I ordered a 11 and an 11.5 and the 11.5 got cancelled right after. I’ve tried multiple times already...

 

[Rabbit]

I just ordered a pair -- 9 1/2. They will be winging their way to me next week! I am pumped. If they uphold the reputation On shoes have elsewhere for comfort and cushioning, it'll be worth every penny!!!!!!!!

 

[satchmo_d]

Got a size 10 ordered so will see how they feel. $210 shipped.
