Nike Fall 2014 Hopes/Predictions

Nice haul.



Could you report back if tennis balls really stay in that pouch on the back of the long sleeve shirt and how it feels? I was thinking about picking one up to practice in. Thanks.



@Jerome2606, as another bandana user I was thinking the tie just wouldn't collect enough of my sweat, the primary reason I wear one.

Tennis balls stay in the pouch but what's more annoying is the amount of times people tell you your jumpers on backwards...

No RF short this time for Federer, just a classic Gladiator premier short...

Same for Rafa. It's very strange he doesn't even have his own shirt for the Hardcourt season...
This has got to be the first time in over 6 years that Nike hasn't released a "Rafa" crew for a season.
I don't like it.

I disagree :
Roger wears a short with a herringbone pattern, and what I think is a white swoosh.
Retail version has NO herringbone pattern, and a medium mint swoosh.

Got the hyper punch/magnet grey rally sphere crew last night and love it. Also ordered the headband in black and hyper punch. The odd thing is that the hyper punch color on the headband is that it doesn't really match the hyper punch in the crew. Odd. . .

No Zip anymore. Sure he gets a customized short.

Take a look at the last couple years. He wore a short that was sold in UE at the same time. Two types of shorts were sold, one in US, one in UE.

I'm just saying that Nike made a different move for the Fall season. Why? I don't know. Just a shame, always thought they had a better look.

Could you please post a pic?
 
... and some sided with the Savile Row.
You can see how close the Savile Row "Glow Green" shade is to the "Medium Mint" of the new Vapor 9.5 :

And as a bonus, the new Vapor 9.5 and Savile Row with inverted laces !!
The Medium Mint laces obviously fit very well the Savile Row !!

You're welcome.

@ Odonell :
No, I only have the hard court version.

@ stringmaster :
Thanks.
Yes, I'm lucky and happy I could get the Savile Row in my size before it was sold out !!

Have you picked up any Fall clothing?
 
Dark Magnet Gladiator 10" shorts :
I posted a picture of it weeks ago. Remember, the swoosh is in the middle of the leg, not on the "side". Does it ring a bell ?
I don't know if it's normal, or a mistake on THIS particuliar short.

Oh yes I remember.
 
Saw everything in nike town today. Not sold on the materials used- the fed polo's just felt like normal everyday polo's that would get pretty heavy with sweat...basically different from any fed shirt I can remember. The Dimitrov polo felt very elastic-y.
Shoes looked good though
 
Interesting that Nike.com have 2 versions of the "USO day" polo...
One is "LIGHT RETRO / Light Photo Blue / Game Royal".
Other one is "HYPER JADE / Light Photo Blue / Game Royal".

–
Hyper jade is "out of stock"... Maybe it appears by mistake then !!
I guess "Hyper jade" is the promo version, hence it appears on Nike promo pictures with Federer, and "Light Retro" is the final version as it is sold under this name everywhere.

I agree on the initial feel (it's "rougher" than the silky smooth material of the last few RF Polos).

However, after playing extensively in both, and sweating very heavily in both, I can assure you the material does not hold the sweat, and it does not become heavy. It's deceptively light in fact.

I prefer the feel of the smoother material, but the way the "rougher" material handles sweat is phenomenal - I felt pretty dry after 3 hours in hot temperatures.
 
Just got in the Statement Polo in blue/hyper punch with the 9 inch gladiator 2-in-1 printed dark magnet grey shorts and blue/hyper punch wristbands.

This truly has to be my fav outfit Nike has released in years, the hyper punch does what it says... it punches.

Sweet, can't wait to rock this on the court...
 
I think i'm still going to get the Statement polo with Medium Mint as well, looks like it would pair well with the Rift Blue Premier shorts? What do you guys think?
 
^^^^ @raph, nice pictures.

We were right about Dimitrov wearing that shirt; just switching for the Open. He's moving up the Nike food chain rapidly. 'GD' logo only a matter of time? :) (I know, win a major or two or five first).

Yes, if Dimitrov win one or plus Slam, he consolidates its position as a testimonial Nike, but obviously not to the level of Federer and Nadal. Let's say as Del Potro after he won Us Open and was n '4 Atp (I think).
Between other things, Del Potro could not be more testimonial Nike in 2015.

I love JMDP's game and how he handles himself. But in 2009 his English was pretty bad. GD speaks English well - perfect poster boy. Nike just re-signed him. Barring a complete flame out, he's going to be The One. Even looks a little like Neo... :)

Plus he's dating Sharapova:) Wonder if they'll ever do any ads together.

I don't think he has re signed with Nike yet but I'm sure he will at the end of the season.

I believe during Wimbledon the ESPN talking heads (pretty sure it was Cahill who is pretty connected, not one of the clowns) said Adidas came at him with a huge offer; but there was a clause in his Nike contract that they could match any offer - and they did. It did seem odd that it would be mid-year.

Hmmm good info. Adidas should never have let him go in 2010.
