There's a reason why Nike never chooses green - it's PUKE ugly.
I'm with you. Don't like it on tennis clothes; don't like it on sports cars. It's the ugliest of the earth tones - by far.

The Vapors (10's?) with the color change near the heel are stupid looking - looks like I'll load up on 9's - or just buy City Courts and wait for 2014.

Look at my avatar.

Nice!!! Those look a lot nicer than the vapors. I don't understand why nike didn't make the full body of the shoe navy with the green accents, would have looked much nicer. But I'll have to wait and see better pictures to judge appropriately.

Also babolast, will Fed be wearing any crews during the summer? I wish Nike would do more crews, I just have too many polos in my collection.
 
Glad Federer is finally in green, Rafa in the faded light blue with the turquoise shorts for clay season and total crimson shorts for FO will be absolutely SICKKKKKK. I must point out that I am very disappointed with the 8" inseam for Rafa's shorts.

I thought the FO shorts will be grey. Do you have pics?

Any information about the ladies?
I know that most of you are men, but I guess I wouldn't look nice using Federer's gear.

those are some serious exotic colors... not one normal color combination yet! though I dont agree on a lot of the color pairings, I'm glad nike is taking this step!
FO CB 4.3's look awesome, everything else is too different haha!

I actually like the line a lot more than I thought I would. One thing I don't understand is the how unremarkable roger's outfit is. At FO this year he really broke out, but now it's just like bland... Glad to see they made a crew!!! Also that midnight navy poison green bandana is incredible.

where did you see FO CB 4.3 2013? cant seem to find it....
They're the only cb's that are not only in the catalog picture but in a more "real life" picture.. its the grey white and crimson colorway
I think in general, Nike is going for a simple look in 2013.
I think that's a good move by them because they're popping out a bunch of different colorways and color combinations , so its good theyte taking a step at a time
where do you saw the vapor 9 clay version?

thanks
They're in the catalog, under the list of vapor 9 colorways there's a vapor that say "clay" next to it

White at the French for both of their main men, what an awful decision IMO.

"create zero distraction so Rafa can stay focused on bringing his best game" - Since when has a player got distracted by their own outfit?!

Del Potro/ Tomic will be rocking some crazy Verdasco like stuff.

No they aren't:

Rafa in pure platinum

Fed in violet

Woops. Closer inspection of the photos I see that indeed yes Fed's in a very light lilac, if you just glanced you'd be mistaken that both were in white.

I actually really like the Midnight Navy/Poison Green Vapors, of all the colorways for 2013 thus far, it is the best. Interesting that Roger is going mesh for the clay season? Maybe he didn't like the synthetic leather?

That RG crew looks like something Fed would have worn in the mid 2000s. Too bad it'll cost $75 instead of the more reasonable prices from many years past.

Tourmaline for the clay season is... interesting. This is what a Google image search brings up for that color.

Nadal's clay season color is quite nice.

His RG outfit looks like garbage though and the new 8" inseam is disappointing. All shoes and Wimbledon apparel don't really appeal to me but I'll wait for live pictures to make a definitive call.

Air max cage is very interesting and better price with a possibility of warranty.
Hopefully new outsole last longer.

The Fed green crew looks very similar to the green crew Rafa had before the US Open 2011, when he got Dodiged, and it was not that great a color.

Thankfully I'm going to disappoint you. That shade of green that Rafa wore is more "intense", more deeper.

The one that Nike made for Fed is more soft.

Hopefully it's lighter, not so forest green, but from that catalogue it's doesn't look it.

Nobody liked the SLs - they were simply too HOT without the mesh ventilation.

The looks I am finding on line to go with these shoes is - honestly - really, really, unremarkable. Fed in blue shorts and a white crew neck with these shoes and Rafa in red shorts and a white crew neck. It looks like they are both going to a gym. "Minimal" is one thing, this line for Summer 2013 is simply BORING.
