Roger Federer unveils limited edition shoes to celebrate 2023 edition of the Laver Cup

Roger Federer recently unveiled his latest collaboration with On Running, a Zurich-based athletic shoe and performance sportswear company.

Federer, who has been a close partner and investor of On Running since 2020, has co-created two new limited-edition shoes to celebrate the upcoming 2023 Laver Cup, a men’s tennis tournament between teams from Europe and the rest of the world.

The 42-year-old posted a photo of himself wearing the limited-edition sneakers on his Instagram account on Thursday, September 14.

"As Team World gets ready to take on Team Europe in Vancouver, we’re hyped to announce limited editions of THE ROGER Spin and THE ROGER Pro – co-created with @on_running to celebrate the 2023 edition of @lavercup," The 42-year-old wrote on Instagram.

The two new shoes that the Swiss has designed with On Running are called 'THE ROGER Spin' and 'THE ROGER Pro'. According to On Running’s official website, 'THE ROGER Spin' is a tennis-inspired sneaker that is comfortable, breathable, and easy to style.

'THE ROGER Pro', meanwhile, is the very first shoe that On made in collaboration with Federer. It is a brilliant on-court shoe that features a carbon fiber plate that ranks it on the flagship list of high-end runner boots.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion recently dubbed his first fashion collection with UNIQLO in collaboration with JW ANDERSON. The collection features polo shirts, fleece zip-up jackets, and joggers and has a '90s tennis vibe to it.

"We have such a great style history in tennis. Rene Lacoste and Stan Smith were wonderful tennis players. I feel it’s important to remember where we came from. And if I can make tennis look stylish, I think I should do that," the Swiss told the New York Times.
