The White/Black MA's and the RHCP Hat to boot!

I don't recall if this ever happened. Maybe he practiced in a pair? But don't think ever in a match.

If Novak signs with Nike, would he use an already established Nike model, or would they create a model for him?

 

[da hen]

I would be absolutely stunned if NIKE signed him

I think Nike were rumored to sign him after his deal with Adidas ended, but Asics turned out to be the surprise.

I would be surprised if Nike were to sign him this late in his career, despite how well he's still playing?!
Plus, I have no idea when his Asics deal ends.

not happening. he recently extended with Lacoste.

The base color is Fireberry. Fireberry is also one of the colors in the USO outfits. I expect it to pop up in the US around USO. Although TW Staff didn't mention it when I asked about the Fall hats.

I saw him wearing Asics too in this recent Instagram post by LTA from 4 days ago and was puzzled:

Has there ever been a player that endorsed Nike shoes but endorsed apparel from a different company?

 

[illhistorical]

The clothes were never available either when he was head to toe UA(?) I wonder if those are just his old stock. Wasn’t he wearing ASICS at some point

I believe his clothes were Castore:

McEnroe with Nike and Sergio Tacchini ?

First player that comes to mind, but there are a bunch more.
And Fed I guess?

 

[D_Leblanc18]

Federer, Rublev, Bulik, Dimitrov to name a few

 

[salomonzarf]

Thinking about it, that would be incredible, it could even happen, at least in the last years of his career.

There was a post on twitter where the swoosh tried to sign him like 3 different times from like 2009-2016. The last time was right before he signed to lacoste. Can you imagine they would have had all big 3 at the same time

Reason why Novak did not accept the deal is because he wanted to be the most important player of the brand but with Federer and Nadal would have been impossible, Nike also tried with Andy when he left Adidas

 

[SammySpitz]

I thinI it was noted elsewhere that they weren’t will to pay him as much as Fedal?

I think I remember something like that too

I don’t blame him nor do I think he fits the typical Nike mold especially in the 2010-2015 years. Bigger loss for adi but they’re always a mess

 

[Sinner]

IIRC, another rumor was that, at the time, Adi had to choose between Andy and Novak... and went with Andy.

Hit tennis balls for the first time in over 20 years today. Wow, so much fun, using the zoom NXT and the Wilson Six One 95 Pro Staff. What a great racket, try one if you get a chance.

LFG boys.
