I still don’t get how a tennis shoe isn’t the same for pickleball snd vice versa. Seems to be just marketing.

From the difference in the toebox, my guess is the durability and protection? The assumption is that you're much harder on your shoes in tennis than pb... so... cheaper to produce... but only slightly lower MSRP?

I thought this shoes is for olympics, but i saw on instagram there is number 14 on shoes, so it will be RG shoes. Unfortunately, because i think blue one is also very nice, even better

I would say it’s equivalent to the jorts of Agassi that he wore back in the day. Appropriate for the time, but definitely not today by any means.

Hmmm, the retail version of the Cage 4 in this color is a better homage than Rafa's PE, which just looks like a mostly black Cage 3. Would have been cool if they could have split up the color on the cage material on the 3 to mimic the 50/50 of the original.

So is Rafa wearing the cactus coloured clothing with the retro shoes at RG, or adding in the cactus shoes, or all black/white?

I liked Wilson's US Open collection more than Nike's too, well except for the Wilson logo haha

Nice work! Thanks for the heads up!

I agree but at this point Nike would never release anything that classy and retro-modern.

 

[jinister]

Black logos instead of white logos for the retail version it seems!

Agreed. Nike is too concerned with being lame to mediocre today.

They don't want to give us any of the good stuff from 15-35 years ago.
