What happens when two great players merge together? Only a great shoe.
Roger Federer collaborated with Nike (who he already has a deal with) and Michael Jordan to make a show he can wear on his court… the tennis court that is.
“About a year ago, I heard that Roger wanted to design and wear a Jordan shoe on the court,” says Jordan. “I have followed Roger’s career and have been a big fan for some time now. I definitely thought this could be a really unique and special collaboration, and when I heard that Roger wanted the shoe to be modeled after the Air Jordan 3, I was in.”
“To me, this collaboration is not just about style,” says Jordan. “The end product features the classic elephant print from the Air Jordan 3 and the best tennis performance technology. I think the fans are going to love it. To see a Jordan shoe debut on the feet of one of the best tennis players of all time is something really amazing.”
The shoe releases tomorrow August 27. Also expect to see Federer wearing the shoe as he heads to his 15th try at the U.S. Open.
