Tennis superstar Roger Federer<\/a> has finally been given his first signature sneaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Returning to the tennis court after a thirteen-month hiatus, the \u201cSwiss Maestro\u201d is continuing to build his clothing and footwear partnerships. Already with Uniqlo<\/a> for his on-court apparel, Federer partnered with On in 2019 to work on this monumental moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No longer sporting Nike silhouettes, the Swiss tennis player will play in his signature sneaker for upcoming professional tennis matches. Federer\u2019s \u201cTHE ROGER Pro\u201d is a remagination of On\u2019s signature performance running silhouettes, combining both the brand\u2019s comfortability with structural elements suited for tennis\u2019 side-to-side movements. In its OG iteration, THE ROGER Pro is set to arrive in a white and blue color pallet with a \u201cR\u201d logo featured on the lace keeper and a mini-Swiss flag on the heel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the most significant technical detail to the silhouette is the implementation of a Speedboard\u00ae tech placed between the midsole and upper. Used in On\u2019s running silhouettes, this carbon-fiber plate adds responsiveness and impact return, ensuring an ease of lateral movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTennis players put up to three times their body weight through a shoe during lateral movements,\u201d says Olivier Bernhard, On\u2019s co-founder and Innovation Leader. \u201cThese high forces demand extreme agility and stability. That\u2019s what we worked with Roger to create. After so many years at the top of world sport, Roger has his sense of what performance should feel like completely dialed in. He can sense every small adjustment. [His] insight guided the whole project.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before, THE ROGER Pro<\/strong> was available exclusively for Federer\u2019s on-court play. It debuted in his Qatar Open match against Britain\u2019s Daniel Evans, and it was wondered whether we would ever be seeing a public release. Now, the silhouette is finally out, exclusively releasing through Kith.com<\/a>. Head on over to the website to cop a pair now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
