Jovani Hernandez Fresh off a (“lucky,” to some) win over Adrian Mannarino, Roger Federer and his On family have announced release details for THE ROGER Pro, the Swiss duo’s first performance-tennis option.
Teased in early March, the upcoming shoe marks the start of Federer’s new signature sneaker line since leaving NIKE, Inc. in June 2018. The 39-year-old has been testing out prototypes of the sleek, innovative tennis silhouette for the past three months, but is now ready to share the final iteration of THE ROGER Pro with the public. On this front, Federer and On had entrusted the Ronnie Fieg-led KITH to handle the shoe’s global release tomorrow, June 30th. As the exclusive stockist of the Speedboard® carbon fiber plate-equipped model, KITH is likely to have a collaborative capsule in the works. To start, however, Fieg’s brand will ensure the Swiss-engineered performance sneaker arrives to customers in New York, Paris, Tokyo and everywhere else it’s established a physical and digital presence.
Enjoy detailed imagery of THE ROGER Pro’s debut colorway here below, and head over to Kith.com tomorrow, June 30th, at 10am EST for a chance at a pair.
Elsewhere in the performance-focused sneaker space, the Nike MetCon 7 has recently been revealed.
