Roger Federer Smokes His Opponents With Nike US Open Apparel Collection

Nike+us+open+08+federer+look+2 Nike marketing does it again — this time with Roger Federer's US Open apparel collection.  While the colors may have seemed somewhat low-key and neutral to the eye, they were really a play on words that worked to inspire Roger — comet red (by day) and smoke (by night). And it worked!  Roger made his opponents see red as he smoked them on his way to capturing his fifth US Open title in row. 

During his two-weeks in NY, Roger wore the Dri-Fit Control Short — a more tailored short made in a Dri-Fit woven fabric with a herringbone weave and a Dri-FIT stretch mesh gusset, for increased movement around the court. Details included pressed creases to the front and back, a Nike Tennis snap to the front fly and a welt back pocket. Self-fabric belt loops and a belt designed exclusively for Air Zoom NY Roger complimented the polo in refined fashion.

On top Roger wore the Nike Sphere React Cool Manhattan Polo. Fabricated in a lightweight Dri-FIT jersey, Roger’s tailored slim-fit style teams up with no-sew construction (seams bonded without stitching) to move with his body, reduce friction, and attack in comfort. The polo featured a perforated back and buttonholes laser-etched to perfection to reduce weight and kept Roger cool from start to finish. Laser etching allows for the addition of subtle details such as tonal graphics on the back and the emblazoned “RF” logo. For the final touch to Roger’s iconic polo, bonded pleats adorn the front replicating the tailored seams of a tuxedo shirt.

Roger's shoes of choice were the Air Zoom Vapor V — this shoe provides low-to-the-ground cushioning, increased energy return and swift acceleration which allowed Roger to remain responsive to quick movements while maintaining a lower, closer relationship to his playing surface. Here's what you didn't know, the Vapor V evolves with Nike DragOn material (a technology that protects and reinforces the shoe) following lines inspired by the classic clean rims of Roger’s Mercedes roadster.

Get set to smoke your opponent's with this complete line of Roger Federer US Open apparel.
