A few days ago, all eyes of tennis fans were focused on the ATP 250 tournament in Doha, where the twenty-time Grand Slam title champion returned to the field after more than a year absence from the tour, Roger Federer.
The Swiss champion arrived in a new outfit, especially shoes specially designed for him. The shoes in question are the ‘Roger Pro’, On’s first competition tennis shoes, shoes designed by Lab On in Switzerland and specially perfected by Roger.
In order to realize the design of this shoe, the technology of the On running shoes was adapted to the needs of tennis enthusiasts. You need a technology that is necessary to adapt to lateral and rapid changes of direction at high speed.
The words of the co-founder of On
Olivier Bernhard, Co-Founder and Head of Innovation at On, explained the final details of these shoes: “With a sideways movement, a tennis player can load three times his own weight onto the shoe.
These high forces require extreme mobility and strong stability. “With regard to Roger Federer’s shoes, Bernhard clarified:” The shoes designed by Roger Federer have a sole that leads to high density and excellent performance.
They also have an internal structure that keeps the foot stable for its movements. It also features 100% carbon fiber Speedboard technology that absorbs shock and enhancements that allow Federer to respond better when changing direction.
“In addition, Bernhard, also a former tennis professional, continued:” After so many years at the height of tennis and world sport, Roger Federer knows exactly what is important and how even a shoe can help in a tennis game down to the smallest detail.
That thing was essential in order for it to serve to produce this entire and special project. “Federer is currently continuing his training and many are looking forward to the next tournament for the Swiss champions.
