Spring 2014? Not even Fall (USO)/Winter (indoors fast hard) 2013 first? As I already mentioned, Federer in black shorts, mainly white and yellow shirt for this end year or 2014. EDIT: the collar is yellow mainly and white near the neck. Very Del Potro-like colourway.

I agree that Federer will be in a dull red polo, really want to see him in black and green though. Rafa I think will wear yellow for the AO, hopefully with some form of design.

When will you get to see the line? And how come Nadal definitely won't be wearing blue in Melbourne?
 
Based on what has been posted in the past, will the new Vapor use Lunarlon instead of Zoom Air? If so, I think I am going to stock up on the current design given what happen when the Vapor 6s were great then they switched the material on us with the 7s.
 
I'm really curious about how the Vapor 10 will be received by current Vapor 9 people.

i recently burned through my stock of Vapor 8 and finally got into some Vapor 9, and they are quite amazing.

If it ain't broke, don't mess with it.

I don't think it will change too much, maybe a little bit more toe protection. It's designed to be comfortable and lightweight for performance, not durability.

My dear Babolast - I think Nike design team might actually read your threads from time to time , How long has it been that you have asked to put Fed in neon-green T ? Look at madrid , just when we all have accpeted that fed is old & collared-polo's suit him , Nike just this once hears You.

I think I'd like to see Aqua Nadala or Fed , like really soothing Aqua with bright neon-yellow blast design or something.

I hope they don't mess up a good thing like they did when the Vapor 6s were good and they screwed it up by releasing the Vapor 7s and 8s.

Just increase the durability of the shoe and you got the GSOAT!

Right on~!
But I think intention wasn't bad, my feet are kinda wide and 7 & 8 suited pretty well. Vapor 6s were very supportive and best design I agree, but they were too narrow on my feet...:cry:

Just a bit of more durability will help great deal~!

I really liked the teal that Nadal was in for spring this year at Indian Wells. I hope that color comes back next year.

I was hoping they would bring back men's clothes that a man would wear. I would like less metrosexual stuff.
 
So what colours do you think we will see in this line, guys?

If Nike insist on having Federer in blue and/or red then I hope they do that at IW and Dubai. But sadly I think it will be one of those for AO, the other for post AO.

Must have changed my mind for Nadal about 5 times, but I think he'll rock a bit of orange in Melbourne and yellow in IW.
