The shoes had “Big Foe” embedded on the back, while the left pair had the player’s name, date of birth, and even the place where he was born scribbled on the side. In addition, just like last year, he is also going to write history, but this time he has his own pair of customized Nike sneakers to wear on the tennis court.
Moreover, the right pair also has some of his achievements, while the soles of both pairs have 1968, 2016, and 2022 written in bold white font. However, this won’t be the first time this season that these shoes have been on display. Just a week ago, his girlfriend, Ayan Broomfield, also gave a shout-out to her boyfriend’s recent Nike collaboration, which resulted in amazing pairs of shoes.
