Strange to see Nadal wearing sleeves at the AO. Also, looks like his jacket is PE. Very basic color combo and still hate the design.

Pics?
I wonder if it is dictated by the sales numbers. You mentioned sleeveless tops do not sell as well. On the other hand, when you see your favorite player wearing a different variant than what it is available in retail, it must also hurt the sales. Catch-22.
Clearly matching the shorts [Barely green/(Bright mango)]. For me, It is a real shame it is PE.
I am not exactly sure who the target audience for Rafa's outfits is but, the problem with the latest design, at least for me, is the embroidered big-*** bull logo on the back. I'm 43 and while I don't have the problem endorsing/promoting the people I like, it is a little bit too much.
Additionally, Rafa's jackets don't have it (which would make much more sense for him than for everybody else, I think)

Yeah...I see that working for kids only. It’s a loss of class for adults

Hmm i must say, if i had to choose what to wear on court the vapor 9 still wins my vote over the 9.5. A bit better for my feet in my opinion because when i practice for a couple of hours my feet feel less destroyed than with the 9.5Kei's Vapors are better than Dimitrov's. There is no need for the faux 9 when the 9.5 was a better all around shoe.. Doesn't matter we cant get either but I still think Kei has the better Nike pro stock.
I sometimes play on two pair of dimitrov customs and they feel different than the 9 or the 9.5. Also because the back of the shoe is a bit higher, but they are a bit more stiff (maybe because of the carbon fibre shank and the added enforcement on the front).

Also Dimitrovs shoes look 2 sizes too big on him. IT kills the svelte look of the Vapors

Yep, pretty much it.
We never had Barely Green before, so it’s a nice change up in the recycled colors, but it’s the same jacket so I’ll have to pass if they were made for retail.

Yep, never liked the huge Bull logo on the back either. I’m 26 and I still wouldn’t buy it. It’s too much ‘in your face’ if you get what I mean.

Dimitrov and Federer don’t wear their actual shoe size hence why they wear double the socks.

Always go a half size up a foot pad and an extra sock for a custom fit

That jacket is from 2018 USO. Idk how you would find one on clearance, but I’m sure you mean’t for cheap. Found one in a size small during the holidays last year, tried it on and it felt like the 2014 ones. Slightly loose, I would’ve gone with a medium if they had it.

The 2018 ones? Yes they were, but were as thin/floppy as 2019-present.

Incorrect. Right size, 1 sock, just do it right. I have never had fit issues and 2 socks would turn my feet into an oven in the summer here in the south east

I wish we had the culture of feet strengthening exercises since kids. I trully believe that would be the difference.
The people that play football (soccer) at the beach have strong feet, fuller arches.
