Roger Federer Remembers The OG Air Jordan 3, Michael Jordan, and More

When you’re ranked first place in all-time career earnings in the sport of tennis and have been regarded as one of the best players in the sport’s history, there isn’t too much left to conquer. Luckily for Roger Federer, his inspirations expand beyond the tennis court and to another court, as earlier this year he linked up with his childhood idol Michael Jordan to give us the Nike Zoom Vapor Tour AJ3 (it does help that the man who designed his tennis shoe also happened to bring elephant print to Mike’s third signature). The surprising return of the collaborative effort in today’s “Black/Cement” aesthetic had people lining up over the weekend. Knowing this, Roger sat down to talk about the initial release’s success, meeting Michael Jordan, and the anxiety that came with not wanting to lose a match in such a pristine pair. Be sure to check out the full interview with Roger Federer after the break and let us know if you were able to secure your “Black/Cement” Zoom Vapor Tours in the comment section.
