Happy w my Saville Rows but wish it had the green swoosh..
Vapor 9 = GOAT court shoe!

 

[pdigiti]

I was talking with Someone inside Federer camp the other day and Fed shoes came up. He told me that a pair of Feds PE shoes cost Nike almost a $160 per shoe. Thats effing crazy

That's a drop in the bucket for the amount of money he's made for Swoosh over the years! He should get the best they can offer as far as construction/materials.

If this is the end of the ZV9T line, I'm satisfied with the ones I have. Agree with everyone else that the Savile Row pair is super sexy in person.

Well for one I don't agree it was sexy.

Second, for the money it was not worth it. I honestly expected real leather not that fake leather Nike used. I thought this model had so much potential.
In person really disappointed with them. The green swoosh would have made the m/uch better in my opinion.

Shipped them back to Nike yesterday for a refund. Will stick to the black 3-M pair I have.

I wonder if he plays tennis?

$160 at-cost does sound crazy, but I guess taking into account the custom mold for his foot plus the higher-quality materials, it's makes sense.  He's made Nike a lot of money, so I guess the least they can do is give him shoes "engineered to his exact specifications"?  Ha.

it's nick annacone friends or works for KITH ny, he's always on IG posting up all of RF's Pe's and even Delpo's

Any real photos of the next Lunarballistec that Nadal will wear in 2014?

 

[Sinner]

From Rafavault

 

[t21d]

^those new ballistecs are

Add some variety to this thread

Sharapova PE's- typical girly patterns, but nice details.

Moya PE's- nothing out of the ordinary from the gr's,other than his namesake.

...and latest pickup. Have most, if not all, of the gr Vapors

 

[Sinner]

Damn you, Fred! 

Seems like the general sentiment is that they hate the LunarBallistecs, but I'm cautiously optimistic that, in the right c/w, they'll look good.  

Or maybe it's cuz we like footy-boots.

If anyone's looking for a size 6.5 of the Savile Row vapors, PM me... and only if you're actually gonna wear them.

Rhino from TT?  Welcome aboard!

Yes, it's me. Thanks, looks like I'm a little late getting to this place!

 

[Sinner]

Excellent.  We don't get that many tennis-folk in here.

It's not always easy to find people who want to talk about tennis shoes.

 

[Sinner]

^ And it's not just tennis shoes... though there's a decent following here for Agassi-retros.

Tennis watchers are rare on NT... tennis players are even more rare! 

 

[The_Isomotion31]

Vika should be flossin them legs like Masha.

 

[t21d]

What's up R?
Well, I decided to let my good friend JWDanklefs customs do up my Saville Rows. Didn't take him but 4 hours to do for me. The thing I love what Jake does in all his customs are the fine details. Yeah, everyone can do "customs" but it's usually halfarsed.

 

[Van Nostrand]

Beautiful work. I'm jealous. Would love to know why Nike didn't release them to the public that way in the first place.

 

[Sinner]

Fred, I guess we'll continue our discussion in here... 

Anyway, found some hi-rez pics.

Christmas vapors?!?

 this thread is actually moving  a little now, love other tennis playing NTers haha 

 

[Sinner]

 
Christmas vapors?!?

No, those are the Vapor 9.5's... for 2014.  

 

[rhino]

Fred; Your customizer has done a great job. Really worth doing IMO. Some of the other customization examples I've seen have been a little below par. Nice to see you got the exact shade of teal green for the swoosh, it makes a big difference!

 

[b2h3m]

 
No, those are the Vapor 9.5's... for 2014.  

I know they're 9.5s, they just seem pretty christmas themed, no? "Holiday" would probably be more appropriate since they'll probably be releasing in january, my fault

 

[Van Nostrand]

Saw this RT'd by Fed.

Says orange for Indian Wells, red for Australia.

Not sure if this is official or not, but here's the tweet.
