Proof that Rafa’s New Shoes Are So Much Different Than Yours!

6

By hugree on January 11th, 2014

Players don’t usually wear shoes that are sold in stores. That’s a fact. It’s been this way in all sports… LeBron James does it basketball… Rafael Nadal has been doing it for years in tennis. He has very special needs after suffering a serious foot injury a couple of years ago. However, the way Nike personalized the all new Lunar Ballistec takes things to a whole new level. Apparently, Rafa doesn’t need the fancy Dynamic Flywire or a new traction pattern at all. His current game shoes are much closer to the Air Max Courtballistec 4.3 than the Nike Lunar Basllistec that are being sold in stores for almost two weeks. He uses the old lacing system, the old outsole and he still gets a longer tongue (man, I would love that on my kicks) and signature logos all over the place. Among the things that haven’t been changed I see the synthetic upper and, hopefully, the Lunar cushioning. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I guess most fans would like to wear the exact same version as Nadal. I know I would especially since his version looks more like tennis shoes rather then soccer cleats. What do you think about this matter? See the details below.
