Current world No. 2, Federer looks to take strong 2014 form and his newly achieved 1,000-match wins milestone to the blue courts of Melbourne. He'll wear a bold Nike Premier RF V-neck crafted from Dri-FIT fabric to keep him dry, with engineered side hem vents to enhance breathability. His shorts are the Nike Gladiator Premier 7" that are also Dri-FIT for moisture management. They have laser-perforated side panels for breathability and a flex waistband for comfort.
Designed specifically for pre- and post-match comfort, the Nike Premier RF Jacket is made from a Nike Tech Fleece that utilizes the body's heat for efficient warmth. The jacket has perforations in key sweat zones to enhance breathability while a ribbed cuff and hem provide a snug, performance fit. Federer's footwear of choice is the Nike Zoom Vapor 9.5 Tour for a full speed attack. Features include a textile upper for lightweight breathability, an internal Dynamic Fit system that wraps the foot for optimum stability and Nike Zoom in the heel for super responsive cushioning and a high performance ride.
