I bought a T-shirt from ON because it was big time sale like 45 % off. and they had my size,, and they said it runs true to size...............NOT true. these ON tshirts run Smaller. But Quality of material is very high... Great quality fabric that is soft and breathable.. and looks Sturdy too.. looks like it will last a while. but i am going to exchange it for 1 size bigger. This is some good Tshirt. (y) (y)

I ordered these Monday when they popped up on the website. Got delivered around Friday or so. They went away and aren’t on the site anymore? Maybe they prematurely loaded them up?

That Swiss Engineering label is misleading if the shoes are made in China.

It's not untrue though. The engineering / R&D could really have been done in Switzerland and the mass production is done in China. If the shoe was labeled "Produced in Switzerland" that'd be a different story.

Huge difference between design and engineering. In Apple's case I trust that their designers are US based.

Anyone familiar with production in China knows there is lot of engineering done locally in order to manufacture anything. It is the reality of making products. Here is an easy example: the synthetic they use for their upper. It must be an Asian supplier that made it, not ON. Do you think there is no engineering in manufacturing that synthetic? Their Swiss Engineering is arrogant and misleading.

I'd agree to an extent. Yes there's going to be engineering around the machinery used for production / assembly line / etc. That said, I'm not going to argue with someone who works in the industry and knows more about it than me.

Honestly, i liked the design and attention to details, but seriously, the poor durability and fast yellowing is terrible...

Anyone have any insight into when the v2.0 version of these are releasing? I do t like white tennis shoes so hopefully they throw a few more base colors in the mix

Anyone have any info on whether there will be new colours available for the AO? Been wanting to try this shoe out before it gets updated but not too keen on the white and blue that seems to be the only one available in my size right now

Didn’t enjoy it much either. Cushion wasn’t really there nor was the light/nimble sensation that usually comes with wearing Federer endorsed shoes. Price tag is astronomical for a shoe only 2-3 pros use

Would be nice if they did anything other than “air monarch off white”

The best (most effective) marketing are the misleading ones. I think the choice of the word "Engineered" is to make the design process sound more technical. Nike does this with their "Engineered to the exact specifications ..." label. The main people who "engineer" shoes are actually designers, mostly trained at some kind of art institute with a footwear design background. What they do is a kind of engineering, because elements of the footwear are designed for functional reasons, but as a trained engineer and scientist, I always cringe a little when I see this kind of marketing.

Based on my experience, the real engineering happens in Asia, if a shoe is made in China or around it.
