Post Close-Up Pictures of Pros' Shoes

[shbh]

^^I can't edit my post... Murray's shoes are not from 2009 but rather 2006. I might be wrong though.

Adidas hybrid feathers:mrgreen:

Looks so awesome, the way the clay kicks up when they're up in the air. Great pictures!

Those are the clay court and probably customized adidas adizero feather IIs (hardcourt versions release in fall i think)

Shops in Europe already carry the RG version of the Adizero Feathers 2. One (nuts) already has the metallic infrared version.
Both of them have really non-clay soles....reason why I haven't bought them

Such awesome photography.

I am glad the tournament photographers support our shoe fetishes with close ups like these

 

[jokinla]

Very cool back with the 6 and bull.

 

[frunk]

Where do you guys find close ups like that?!

 

[nicolaisidek]

I love that 6. Very bold.

I'm glad to see Roger wears some washed/worn clothes from time to time. lol I thought he always woke up in the mornings and put on freshly unpacked garments. I need to call Mirka and tell her to turn his shirts inside out before washing them so the logos don't come off so quickly.

Also, for the past couple of months, he's been sporting that leather strapped Daytona. Seems he really digs the vitage looks of it. I guess he liked the Daytona more than the Sky-Dweller that Rolex wanted him to like.

And look at that bag of swag! That's nice... all except the shoes. Nike needs to put warranties on those bad boys. lol

They will be mine. Oh yes, they will be mine.

Well, maybe not these per say, hoping for a little orange (like Tsonga's) to match my hat.

The retail ver is sooooo different from this!

 

[stangaele]

How do you get the watermark removed? also how do you get them in a bigger size? Getty images doesn't just provide images of this size for free.

here you go!

Yeah after 5 titles they didn't have enough space on his shoes to print trophy logos, hehe.

 

[tsongaali]

here you go!

Aren't the images expensive though? Or do people really just want to see the shoes up close?

The retail ver is sooooo different from this!

what do you mean different?

+ I wanted to ask: does nike and adidas pay something to TV when they show close up of the shoes during the matches?

TV usually shows closeups to show the personlisation on players' shoes. e.g. "nole" or "Petra", which is part of the reason Nike and Adidas are happy to personalise players' shoes for them. They even go out of their way to attract the camera and comments by putting things like "6" on Rafa's shoes or "15" on Roger's blazer. These aren't just ego fillers for the players, they are deliberate marketing tools designed to invite comments and inflame debate, a la Roger's jacket which is still talked about (case in point here).

As you know, there are official ways for them to pay to have their logo on tv, like being an official apparel provider for the event. Adidas is becoming a big proponent of this in Golf and Tennis as a way of getting their brand more air time.

And yet it's still closer to the retail version than any shoe Federer has worn for about 3 years.

i got in my hands a shoe of federer in a store in new york

[mpournaras]

Is that shoe like size 20?

 

[TMCW140]

Wow, great find!
Davis Cup I presume, and custom 8's, impressive

 

[ductrung3993]

^^^

How much for that mate?

 

[anhuynh16]

i think that shoe is the stores, not his...

nike has been sending stores the players actual custom shoes. (my store has fed,rafa, and del potros)

 

[ALEJOVAL]

Yes Is The Store Not Mine

I dunno why they do this. If they want to show off their custom PE shoes, at least they should give us an ID option on all shoes.
