Ronnie Fieg, Roger Federer and On Present THE ROGER RF2 Set Ahead of the US Open
RF meets RF: of and tennis superstar have teamed up with to create THE ROGER RF2 Set, which is dropping in time for the US Open tennis tournament. As the pack’s name suggests, it consists of two takes on Federer’s signature sneakers, THE ROGER Pro tennis shoe and THE ROGER Clubhouse Mid casual model.
To switch things up, each collaborator has swapped fields of expertise, with Federer putting his spin on the Clubhouse Mid and Fieg taking his streetwear knowledge to the Pro. Federer gets sentimental and references his entry into tennis via clay courts by having the entire shoe covered in the red stuff, creating an individual look as the owner wears them. Meanwhile, Fieg keeps a clean slate on THE ROGER Pro but includes a bag of clay to allow the owner unlimited personalisation of their pair. He has also personally signed each pair of Pros in the pack.
‘Roger and I each carry a solid work ethic and a passion for our respective crafts. We both strive to be and remain the very best at what we do. That foundation of mutual respect, regardless of our profession, led to a sense of trust with one another in the design process,’ says Fieg.
THE ROGER RF2 Set will be available exclusively from Kith on August 29 in limited quantities for $550. General release editions of THE ROGER Clubhouse Mid will also release the same day at selected On retailers worldwide.
