Nike teams up with Federer for fashion range
Sportswear manufacturer Nike has joined forces with tennis player Roger Federer for its latest NikeLab Summer of Sports collaboration. The Nike Court X Roger Federer collection features both footwear and apparel and builds on a relationship that began when the Swiss star turned professional in 1998.

Federer played a key role in developing the range, which includes shorts, shirts, jackets and sneakers. He had input into material, colour and silhouette and features representing his personal journey were added to several pieces. One of the jackets available features zippers inspired by Federer’s own cufflinks and there is a T-Shirt featuring a pattern paying tribute to the Swiss flag.

“I want the fans to have something they can wear every day, almost everywhere they go,” Federer said. “It really is about being able to wear it in the street and feel like this isn’t just another sportswear piece.”
