This is the latest stock image of the IW/Miami 2024 top from Nike. In all likelihood, this is how it is going to look like when Rafa plays in it in a few weeks.
It was never available in the first place. It was a pre-order page with expected availability on Jan 25. I guess they got the word from Nike it was not going to be fullfilled.
Yes, Rafa might have used the color of the season. However, didn't he use the RG outfit that was originally prepared for RG20 even though it was Sep/Oct (except for the shoes)?
Amd that's one of the greatest mysteries of Rafa's AO24 outfit. How can that top share the color code #435 and color name Light photo blue with the challenger equivalent and other parts of the outfit (e.g. shorts, jacket, etc.) and be so different?
It already happened in the past. Take Rome 2020. There was a different outfit for pre-RG20. Yet he wore there what he was supposed to wear during USO20. He even mixed both session and night outfits (top - day and shorts - night).
I think it has more to do with the fact that Nike must have...
