I bought some of Nishikori's uniqlo gear from last year off of their website and I just wondered if anyone knew when this year's gear might go on sale?

More like H&M of Japan (with international presence), but with a better reputation and quality IMO.

I am very surprised at a few of the misinformed posts here. Having traveled to Japan and stayed there for a while, I can attest that Uniqlo is certainly not a high-end brand in Japan. It is inexpensive clothing and famous for just that. Here is a link that might help: http://www.survivingnjapan.com/2010/12/6-reasons-to-shop-at-uniqlo.html - just Google and you'll know what I mean. While the business model might be completely different from that of Walmart, in terms of price parity with other athletic apparel, it is considered cheaper and more inexpensive.

Here is another post that further highlights how Uniqlo keep their prices low and inexpensive for the consumers: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-s...in-and-simple-the-uniqlo-formula-1717795.html
Excerpt from the article:
"So how does Uniqlo do it? The products are all made in the Far East, and a large proportion in China. The company doesn't own any factories but Coble says that by working closely with the same manufacturers there for many years, and giving them a large volume of clothes to produce, it has built up a loyalty which ensures high quality"

Sure you are off. Uniqlo only sells clothing. It is NOT the cheapest option in Japan. uniqlo does manufacture in China which does not make them Chinese company

I just picked up the yellow Djokovic and blue/orange Nishikori shirts. So far I like my older Uniqlo stuff the same as my Adidas and Nike stuff.

Uniqlo is great quality at great prices. The fit is initially challenging and I order 1 size bigger tops than adidas but the same shorts size. IMO, they run 1/2 size smaller than adidas.
I have shirts from Novaks initial introduction (was it 2012 FO?) and have used them (rotating with other) on weekly basis and they still look new. I wash them with regular clothes and dry them in a drier.
This time I picked up Nishi orange shirts as that is color I did not have and socks, of course! They have the best socks but did not offer them for a while.
