Here is Roger Federer's Outfit for the US Open 2017. As usual for the final grand slam of the year, he has a day session and night session outfit. The day session is the ‘action' red and the night session is the black. There's also a pair of Flyknit vapors for each outfit and you can check them out beloe. I've also added in a couple of pictures of the non flyknit version of the vapors just to compare.
My first thoughts are I'm a big fan of the night session Flyknit Vapor colours and how they work with the traditional looking sole. And the t-shirts are just so-so from the pictures. But I thought that about the Cincinnati outfit too and it turned out to look great when Fed actually wore it so maybe this one is the same.
Update: I also added in some pictures of the Nike Zoom Vapor Tour RF x Air Jordan 3 “Fire Red”. This is the third Jordan / RF collaboration so I imagine Roger will actually wear these shoes in New York. They're limited edition and are going on sale at some pop up shops in NYC this week for $200. You can shop online for the full outfit here.
What do you guys think of the outfit(s)? Let me know in the comments.
I just can’t wait for the tournament to begin!
Yeah me either, although not looking forward to night matches at 3am ?
Great! Should he lose in red in the day session, he has still time to switch to black and win in the night session. Then shaved in days session, unshaved in the night. Black for the night will moreover let him hide in the darkness, so the opponent must first guess, where he is and the time for fast reaction is lost 😉
Yeah forget going to best of three sets. There should be two tournaments running side by side. Day tournament and a night tournament.
Nike should fire the designer(s). Their designs and colo combos are getting worse and worse and now they are going to have Roger wear these??? You got to be kidding me. Especially the red one for the day match… im surprised roger OKed it. I’m really hoping that they won’t have ladies wear one similar to this. Really bad taste. (Or am I thinking too much?)
Your opinion is correct.
See how it looks when it’s on. I thought Cincy / Montreal looked poor but once it was worn on court I liked it.
Yes, horrible indeed.
BUT these ugly outfits seem to give us GS titles :)))
I think Roger makes anything he wears classy. At the end of 5 sets he still looks like he just stepped onto the Court. Nike always does right with Roger’s clothes.
Big meh… black shoes look great, but not durable enough so not gonna get them anyways 😛
All the rest is underwhelming to say the least, imo…
My last pair of Vapors holding up pretty well tbf. Sole has lasted and I only play hard court.
Define holding up? Only two shoes I have tried have held up for me: the barricades and the Asics Gel resolution.
They’re in decent condition. Bit of wear on the sole at the front but other than that pretty good. Had them a year, think they’ll last another season.
Holy… How often do you play, in hours/ week? On hard?
Over summer prob 3-7 hours a week. Sometimes more, sometimes more. Always outdoor hard. My last pair of vapors the soles are worn completely like totally smooth. But this latest pair are doing better.
Why do you wait for your soles to completely smooth out? After a certain level, your feet will start to hurt more, balance will suffer, and it may cause long term issues too.
I am late again
Worst ever? Maybe. Can´t thing of anything uglier during the last 10 years. The black shoes are nice, and i like red in general, but black socks to the red outfit is not a good look, and both shirts are awful!
Reserve judgement until it has been worn ?
Reserve judgment until it has been won. I hated the AO2017 polo, and then I ate crow, and bought two of them. 🙂
Well, the best part of the outfit is always Roger himself, so at the end of the day everything looks great and greater after each won match 🙂
A star comment!
Any news from Fed? I didn’t hear anything about his injury anymore? Bye the way, I didn’t like the outfit. One of the worse I’ve seen from Nike.
In New York practicing. Been in US since Montreal prob took a few days off.
I could probably be the worst day outfit federer ever wore in his career!! As far as the night outfit is concerned not bad but I have certainly seen better than it, still it might just look good on him (given he d sure wear it 4-5 rounds out of 7 should he make it to the finals of course. The shoes for night sessions look different for sure, like the bit of dark brown they used, might as well go for a brown bandana as well who knows.
Anyways just hoping for roger to be a 100% heading into the US open and we’ll see from then on.
Cant wait to see him in action for a best of 5 !!!
Guess he might wear the Jordan Collab for his matches. Can’t remember how many times he wore them in 2014?
Oh yea that new Jordon Collab! might lok better than the red ones he s putting on for the day sessions.
Think he wore them for the first two rounds in 2014 ofcourse with the Michael in his box the first round.
Darn too many the’s in my error prone comment. what was I thinking!!#facepalm.
Addey I like your the’s 🙂
He is THE Michael Jordan though. No doubt.
Oh really – to get middle of body white like this? Really disfiguering, smalling shoulders, bigging stomach. But if the opponents are thinking he dined too heavy and then he shocks them with being faster than ever, it has good meaning.
(- On a moving maestro, everything so far has looked great, so hopefully this time also. Can’t wait to see the action!)
Nike forgotten to place a random 😉 number 20 and YES YOU CAN on the soles of the shoes. If the trophy is lifted by the right person, who cares about outfit? The best outfit are Roger’s tears of happiness on the end 🙂
Oh sure, PRF? but before this there are some days looking and cheering a.s.o.
Ugh.
Night session one is ok. The BIG problem with the shirt is that it looks way too short. And wide for that matter. No likey. But as usual see how it looks on.
Meh.
Honestly,I didn’t like the aus open outfit but today it is my favourite,I don’t like this outfit but depending on the result,it may become my favourite .
GO 20GER
I’m more curious about how Roger’s INFIT looks like. Some link, please?
Here is an update on the injury : Roger is expected to practice this week.
http://metro.co.uk/2017/08/22/roger-federers-camp-play-down-back-injury-ahead-of-us-open-6870233
Roger did practise today in New York,so yes the king is back
Last Sunday, I had a long long travel, back from my Summer holidays from the French Riviera to Paris. I enjoyed writing the below trying to link our champion with BROAD-WAY musicals.
By the way, I am now fit enough to come back to work (yesterday) after a 14-month break due to my ankle smash 🙂 … and back pains (healing without Pierre Paganini’s help, Jonathan :-). Thanks so much for your kind support.
I hope you will appreciate my prose.
===
Roger Federer’s tennis is the best show on Earth …no matter the colours of his outfit to lead him on the BROAD-WAY to victory !
If there is a FIDDLER ON THE ROOF and a roof above their heads, his fans will be SINGING (even in) IN THE RAIN.
Organizers don’t doubt : with him, the arena will be as fully packed as a CABARET.
If the back is okay, he won’t be a PHANTOM IN THE OPERA.
His unequalled elegance would allow him to enter the scene with a TOP HAT.
To play his favourite game though, his headband will be as dark as the night in “the city that never sleeps” (as Franck Sinatra would say).
This year again, he won’t be the WIZARD OF OZ, but the warlock of hard courts.
Let Nadal, Zverev and co. listen to the SOUND OF MUSIC, the one diffused from his magic wand.
His FAIR LADY will be there to admire her husband’s SHOW…BOAT before A STAR IS BORN to lead the race (or is it the dance, perhaps ?) many years will go…
ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS will wait for their turn.
Let’s believe he’ll spend more time than ONE DAY IN NEW YORK, not so far from the 42ND STREET.
And MAMMA MIA ! Maybe he’ll be crowned the LION KING on September 10 ?
With a pen full of luminescent ink, he’ll write a new page of his WEST SIDE STORY, as easily as he signs autographs.
Next week, it’s gonna be SWING TIME :
the swing of his racket we’ll always admire… so that in two weeks from now, we all will be like ALICE…
IN WONDERLAND.
U nless the mighty gods are against him
S eptember should be full of success
O pponents should be in awe and speechless
P ains have flown away and won’t disturb him
E levating his game : to the rooftop, gain access
N EW YORK… NEW YORK is waiting for him.
An Unbel19vable Federer + 1 = a magical (20)17… whatever the colours of his shirt and shoes are !!
Love it FrenchbutteRFly!!
I have absolutely no idea what I just read 😆 but no mention of Hamilton??
My reaction ranges from meh to yuk. It needs a collar, as they all do these days. This is back to the bottom of the laundry basket look. Although as somebody else said, if he wins, we won’t care! I liked that white/orange collar outfit from a couple years ago…
I didn’t like that one 🙂
2015 with the neon orange? Wasn’t bad.
I told this to my twitter account.. Not a fan of the outfit,.. but the black one looks okay … 🙁 I hope Im wrong.. I want his old school type of outfit or just stick to one color no fancy shade outfit… 🙁
‘Twill probably be fine when it’s on. Can’t really tell about the neckline on my screen, but it looks okay to me. The asymmetrical transition from colour to white is maybe a little odd, but the top picture is so contrived that I’ll wait to see how it looks in reality.
Looks like Fed will be wearing a strawberry shortcake during the day.
Haha! I’ll be sure to gulp down a pretty big helping of strawberry shortcake if Fed wins New York. That would be my atonement for criticizing the outfit. 🙂
Oh come on guys, they are not that bad! Okay, not the best look but I’m sure he will pull them off for U2O. Yeah he is the only one can do with the outfit like this (Imagine on Murray… 😆 )
And look, his curls are back!
I stop my lunch after imagining it on Murray
eurk
anyway, this comment deserve to be on top
good job Wanda 🙂
Lets keep the scissors away.
Ditto’s, Sue!
Didn’t harm him at Wimby, did it? But still, I prefer him with his hair longer, too.
That white middle just screams “screwed up job”.
More than the outfit, I am more concerned about his match play.
Hopefully gets a nice 1st round to warm into it, will be able to see how the back is looking then.
Nike could’ve kept the soles white and used that red dye for the t-shirt. *facepalm*
Anyways, he could wear a hijab so long as he wins the title.
Hijab, of course, but same colours? 😉 To be more serious – outfits are marketing io sport fashion manufacturers and is in fact not designed for players but for millions of followers. The player has his (money) part for acting as model, but – have you ever played tennis or something? Do you remember your “outfits” and which one worked well? Do you look on yourself, when playing? If Stan could have won a slam wearing pyjama, let’s Roger wear hajib or burka (and nothing more). And think about contrasts. The more ugly is the outfit, the more you see, how beautiful the model is 🙂 So the worst ever outfit is just good to lift a trophy 🙂
Not sure if hijab fits in as an example to quote the preposterous outfit !
Why, Addey? For reasons of political correctness? Fandango skirt would be correct? Or Brazilian string topless? 😉
Nevermind buddy!
Simply ugly. Like the Aussie 2017 outfit. Only Wimbledon was great this year…
It hasn’t gone well at all so far from the comments. I don’t mind it really.
Let’s look for positives 🙂 We should have in mind, how hard the task of designers is. They (and only they) have to design outfits for G.O.A.T. They must start the job on shaking feet 😉
Now both red and black (my favorite colours for my own tennis apparel). A bit of white is still classic colour combination. Now don’t imagine Rog on the strange background on the photo above (for sure a Photoshop montage) but try to see him on court and how those controversial white applications explode with Fed jumping and hitting a big backhand down-the-line or one of his lethal forehands. Does the ourfit not feel better now?
Fed is set to have a 2 hours practice on HGrandstand starting 2.00 PM ET. Now you can watch a long video from Rafa’s practice with Pouille on US Open Twitter account, which ended 1.00 PM ET (next should have been Madison Keys for 1 hour), so maybe soon a video of Roger’s training will be available there.
Did you watch? I seen some YouTube clips but poor quality. Looks to be moving ok but I don’t think his back 100%.
Reminds me a bit of the AO 2005 t-shirt. Looks rather ordinary, a “could be anyones outfit”. Does not meet the “royal standards” of Federer’s outfits. First the hideous black/white and green/black t-shirts from AO and IW/Miami, and now this -__- OTOH the Canada outfit was just pure class. I don’t really care anyways, as long as he’s playing great in those ugly outfits.
But the Canada outfit didn’t look great in the stock photos either really, so this one might be the same…
Have you read this recent interview yet?
https://nyti.ms/2vqSIc8
Yep, no wonder why his practice session attracts so many spectators. …Hah, didn’t know he went to the Coldplay concert twice 😆
Just read now, interesting piece. So he hit thousands of backhands last year in Dubai with most of them going over the fence before finally getting better.
“Federer’s rivals had been taking advantage of the latest racket technology for years.”
Not true. Why do they write this then never explain what the ‘latest racket technology’ actually is. Basically zero change in the last 20/30 years to how a racket is made.
Oh, dear. Read my lips: “there is no such thing as racquet technology.”
This is the most misused work in the past years.
A racquet is a static object. There are no energy transfer devices, no gears pulling other gears, no electrical parts, no active moving parts like pistons being driven by steam or exploding gasoline, or any of the like.
It’s all and only about materials: rigidity, density, geometry, size, mass distribution, you name it.
It’s static. It’s not “technology”. Dang!
Very long, but interesting article on Roger’s 2017 etc. here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/08/24/magazine/usopen-federer-nadal-backhand-wonder-year.html
