Rafa French Open Shoes

[TMCW140]

Nice to see Rafa's shoes getting the same treatment Federer's have been getting at the other grand slams. For the 2 games he was out before it started bucketing again, managed to see that he's got an extra amount of 'spark green' on them with 3 RG symbols. Wasn't on for long enough though for any pics though-anyone have any luck finding any?

thanks! think the symbols are on the outside

 

[jcstennis]

Didn't he have little "Bull..Toro" symbols last year?

Good stuff.

I really like this outfit, I would never wear the capri's or sleeveless shirts, but I like the colors for Nadal.

 

[miniRafa386]

the shirt and the shorts are gonna be the first things i buy from this season...once they goes on sale

I agree, a great look for nadal. Looks even better than his blue outift.

yes great look and shoes..new model or special one for FO (look back of shoes in first image says all)

I wish the Cage's you buy at the store had that bright green. It's much more subdued on the production version.

Do you think it will be possible to buy these shoes in the future?? The shoes he was meant to be wearing look terrible

I doubt it-Nike generally never mass produce these player-versions, which is definately a shame because they look great.
Anyone up for starting a petition?

those are nothing like the production you can tell the soles are flat for the clay, the trim goes all the way around the ankle area and the productions cut off and the tungs are much bigger,lastly the production ones are gold not green and gray.

you guys are gay.

Not really, we're just making a point that Nike and other tennis shops shouldn't market the shoe as what Nadal is wearing at the French Open, when he quite clearly is wearing a heavily customised version that doesn't look like what they are selling in the shops.

The same point could apply for almost any pro's tennis racket though i guess, but i can't be bothered to go into that!!!! Anyway, for a tennis shoe, the look of it influences your decision to buy the shoes more than for a tennis racket.
