The shoes, colored white with blue stripes, may not appear as flashy as some of the other footwear that the tennis world has seen him over the years.
However, they sure look graceful and classy as the champion himself.
But they mark a departure from the Air Oscillates and the Nike Vapor shoes that the 20-time Grand Slam champion used to sport in the previous years.
Zach, nicknamed the ‘foot doctor’, presents a detailed critique of the newest line of footwear from the Roger Federer stable.
He says that the ‘Roger Pro’, purely going by its looks, appears to be a cross between the ‘Head Speed Pro’ and the ‘Nike Vapor 9’, “just made to Roger’s feet”.
The ‘foot doctor’ adds that the shoes have been designed exclusively to suit Federer’s foot shape and if the makers were to scale up production for general consumers then they have to design a range of foot sizes, thereby resulting in a significant uptick in manufacturing expenses.
It is understood that the eight-time Wimbledon champion was actively involved with ‘On’, the manufacturer, in designing the ‘Roger Pro’
The shoes are also equipped with a technology called ‘Speed Board’.
