Following the previous successful rollout from the Swiss legend, The GOAT continues to transcend the court with two new silhouettes of his signature shoe.
Those of you who are regular readers will know that the CRISP. team are big fans of the Swiss running Brand ON. Since we interviewed the founder last year, we’ve been keeping a close eye on everything the company has been doing and they’ve been busy.
Given its Swiss background their collab with Tennis star Roger Federer sort of went hand in hand. R-Fed was given creative control due to his on-court expertise and experience to create the aptly named ROGER “Centre Court”.
The “Centre Court” was an all-day sneaker blending ON’s technology and R&D into a tennis-inspired sneaker designed by The GOAT himself.
“I wanted to infuse the tennis sneaker with the same lightness, comfort and agility for every day.” Roger Federer.
When the “Centre Court” was originally announced it was only available on a very limited release meaning only a very few lucky people would manage to get their hands on a pair. With its triple-white clean looks and comf0rt, ON would have no choice but to bring two other Roger tennis shoes to the range in the form of the “Clubhouse” and “Advantage”
The Roger “Clubhouse “
RRP – £140 – BUY NOW
Whilst the “Centre Court” will continue to be the flagship as the most premium of Rogers designs, The “Clubhouse” plays a slightly different role in the range.
This shoe is actually designed for a younger generation to celebrate Roger’s youth and the rise of what he was to go on to become. With that target audience in mind, Roger and the team at ON announced the shoe on the Tik-Tok to really make a statement.
The sister shoe of the “Centre Court” is still manufactured using the same vegan-leather upper but it carries more of a chunkier look to mix fashion with performance.
The “Clubhouse” is re-designed with a generational silhouette but still carry Speedboard® and CloudTec® technology. The triple-version of this shoe loses the gold accents and gum soles you had on the “Centre Court” and opts for a cleaner look.
The shoe is available in white/grey/black.
The “Advantage”
RRP – £130 – BUY NOW
The third shoe in ON’s tennis range comes in the form of the Advantage. With the first two shoes being limited/premium and generational, the Advantage aims to be ON’s “everyone” tennis shoe and will be the companies most widely accessible shoe in the range.
The Advantage a shoe designed for everyday activities in mind meaning it had to comfortable and dependable but also retain a fresh look to ensure its a wardrobe addition for the summer.
“Our design team was relentless in creating a tennis-inspired sneaker that performs as good as it looks. From the fine stitching details to how it feels at the end of a busy day, we gave everything to make it right.” Ruth Heenan, Senior Product Manager
Whilst the Advantage borrows looks from the other two shoes, its the only shoe in the range that is available in bold and bright colours to suit your style. For the purists out there like us, The triple-white tennis heritage look is also still available too.
ON have ensured not to compromise any technology in the new design and Speedboard® and CloudTec® are still in this shoe too to give you max performance whilst the mesh tongue and sock-like inner construction keep your feet nice and snug.
The Advantage really does feel like the final piece in the puzzle of all of the releases with a shoe now catered for all demographics.
