Come on, Roger!
Now we know what happens when Roger Federer teams up with Swiss shoe manufacturer On. The Roger Centre Court is a tennis-inspired high-tech sneaker for everyday wear.
Since it was announced that Roger Federer is co-owner of the Swiss sports manufacturer On, we have been eagerly awaiting the first joint shoe model. As of today, "The Roger Centre Court" is available. The launch of the shoe on 6 July is no coincidence: 17 years ago, the Swiss tennis ace won Wimbledon for the first time.
The limited-edition tennis sneaker comes in a simple white colour and features gold details and black stitching. The Roger is made from vegan leather to minimise the ecological footprint.
It's no surprise that, like all of the brand's running shoes, the new model is based on On's CloudTec sole. This makes the shoe light and flexible. The ideal prerequisite for an everyday shoe. "I wanted to combine the same lightness, comfort and agility in a tennis sneaker for everyday use," says Roger about the new product, which skilfully demonstrates his flair for fashion. I have to admit that The Roger is my favourite On model to date.
One fly in the ointment: there are only 1,000 numbered pairs of The Roger 0 series. Some of them are available from now until 8 July through a "raffle". Whoever wins can buy the sneaker for 310 francs. If you rarely have a lucky hand in the game, you can try your luck - exclusively worldwide - at Dover Street Market in London.
Our Category Management will do everything in its power to ensure that we add one of the next The Roger series to our range. <p
