Saw Rublev has been using K-Swiss at the French. Anyone know what caused the big switch from Nike and which new model it is?

People speculating the US3 but can’t be sure
He probably wasn’t getting $$$ from Nike, and we know what talks

I thought Rublev was ditched by Nike when Russia invaded Ukraine for the reason he's Russian even though he was the first who publicly disagreed...and the shoes he just kept wearing since he had no other option until now. I don't think he was under contract anymore by a long time

Looks like it could be a new Ultrashot. I don't think that's a US3

Looking like an Ultrashot 4 to me.
what?! lol then what about khachinov and all the russian women wearing nike. Nike is about the money just like the rest they don't care about the war. these shoes look interesting though. kswiss are very comfortable shoes with good cushion

So it was a bit different - in 2023 his contract finished and NIKE decided not to renew it, I just found that out.

Probably because he embarrasses the brand when he is doing his violent dance.https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url...ved=0CBIQjRxqFwoTCMjOg8qSmogDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE

Now has a K-Swiss logo on his shirt. Can't say I've ever seen one tennis gear maker advertised on another. IE, if Nadal had a Babo logo on his shirt, etc. Most clothing deals also include the shoes.
He is also wearing K-Swiss clothing just will be Rublo collaboration clothing - separate styling like Zhang gets his own clothing styles from time to time

This is actually a pretty good and smart direction for Rublev.

K-Swiss Signs Andrey Rublev to Multi-Year Deal
Andrey Rublev and K-Swiss have forged a powerful new partnership.

K-Swiss, the American tennis heritage brand and a leader of California style – on and off the court – inked a multi-year deal with the current No. 6 tennis player in the world, Andrey Rublev.
The 26-year-old Olympic gold medalist has won 16 ATP singles titles to date, most recently at the Mutua Madrid Open in May 2024, his second Masters 1000 title. In 2021, he won the Davis Cup with Team Russia.
"I am incredibly excited to be partnering with a global brand like K-Swiss. I admire what the brand stands for and have been impressed with the team’s dedication and vision. I am grateful and thrilled to see our collaboration with my own brand, Rublo, bringing it to the next level. I couldn't imagine a better partner to join forces with, and I look forward to being part of the K-Swiss family."

A sentimental favorite for many tennis fans, K-Swiss is thrilled to partner with Rublev and continue K-Swiss’ legacy of having a roster of exceptional tennis players. The tennis footwear brand and Rublev organically forged their relationship due to K-Swiss’ innovative approach, and their values align perfectly with Andrey's own vision and ambitions.
“This partnership with Andre Rublev shows our commitment to the sport of tennis as the north star of the K-Swiss brand, and our growing strength as a leader of the category. Andre will be wearing our Free Motion apparel and Hypercourt Pinnacle shoes this week that will be introduced in early 2025. A player of his caliber will provide a perfect platform for the performance innovation we have in our product pipeline,” said Victor Yang, CEO, KSGB Global Brands.
During their partnership, K-Swiss and Rublev will release a K-Swiss x Rublo capsule collection of apparel and a limited-edition performance sneaker honoring their powerful relationship as leaders in tennis, while elevating both brands. Creating a supportive, cutting-edge tennis sneaker, the collection is designed to elevate your performance while exuding effortless style on and off the court.

Both Rublev and K-Swiss are driven by their entrepreneurial spirit and their competitive nature that cemented their footprint in the tennis industry.
However, K-Swiss and Rublev are more than their tennis legacies. In 2023, Andrey launched his own clothing brand, "Rublo." The first collection to go on sale, "Play for the Kids," raised over $150,000 in less than two months.
These funds were distributed through the Andrey Rublev Foundation, which aims to provide essential resources and support to children around the world who are struggling with critical illnesses.
Together, K-Swiss and Rublev are dedicated to outfitting and inspiring the next generation of tennis players and want this same inspiration and energy to translate on and off the court. Tennis fans can follow Sports Illustrated's Serve on SI for all the most important news from the sport.

Curious to see the technical breakdown of the Hypercourt Pinnacle he's supposed to wear since I just saw a blurb on the Ultrashot 4. I had assumed the Pinnacle was slated as a replacement to the US.
