This is very cool. Wonder what they will come up with and whether it will be available at retail

Would highly recommend listening. Some fascinating remarks, including when Craig pressed Grigor about his supply of V9s/how he has them made. Grigor said something along the lines of "it's a story he will tell when he's ready to tell"

I suspect Baby Fed may move on to the On Roger Pro at some point once he wears through his closet of Vapors

Can it be that they get PE produced somewhere? Like some factory having the „configuration“? Same for Vapor Pro 1?

Can’t imagine the athletes have like 500 shoes somewhere hidden no?

This Jack Draper outfit is real bad, not Jack's fault. Who is asking for crop tops with big sleeves? Why is the shoe's accent color non-existent in the cloths?

Sorry I don't like to just chime in to complain, but this is really unforgivable by Nike, LOL. :laughing:

Completely agree. Seemed like he had to adjust it after every point. Reminded my of Roddick always pulling his sleeves up before points.

I get that the younger kids think the retro look of longer sleeves look cool, but it's just not functional. If you're constantly adjusting your clothes, they're failing. At the same time, the recent Alcaraz sleeves have just been too short - undershirt style too short.

Quick question - any one on here tried both the Gel Res 9 and the Vapor 11? Would appreciate that a lot…

Can you please compare the two for me with regards to stability and cushioning? Durability isn’t that much of a concern as I rotate two pairs at the same time.

I have used both, I think the Gel9 was probably a better shoe but had more quirks and wore out of comfort quicker?

GR9 - The lacing loops are odd at first, but good lockdown, almost too much; someone mentioned they cut those out before using. Stability, traction, comfort were all good, BUT I feel like this shoe bottomed out with cushion comfort much quicker than V11s. GR9 started to feel like it bottomed out fairly quick, 4-6 months of 2-3 times a week hitting. Traction was fine and upper was bulletproof by the time I stopped using them. I keep them in my car for a back up pair.

V11 - also quirky, I don't love the lacing at the top of the shoe or the thin tongue, but it's manageable. The stability and lateral support is great, comfort is maybe slight higher with V11 when both shoes are new, but I think it last longer in the V11, I would say still felt alright after hitting 2-3 times a week after 8 months; maybe its the Zoom and it stays 'fuller' or more responsive longer? I did feel like the last we weeks of the V11 were pretty rough and my feet were feeling it, I had one hit were it was very apparent I should not use them any more due to the lack of comfort/cushion, the shoe still had traction and upper still had life in them, but as I get older I feel I need to help my body and cycle my shoes more often.

I just started a new V11 pair (got them for free), but I'm curious to try the FF3 next. Would probably go FF3 over GR9 for ASICS in the future.
