Roger Federer and Michael Jordan… designing a shoe, need we say more?

Michael Jordan and Roger Federer are two legends of their respective courts and they have collaborated to create a new pair of runners called the NikeCourt Zoom Vapor AJ3.

While the name may be slightly questionable, there is no doubting the style of these new shoes which are designed to work equally well on both the basketball courts and the various tennis courts.

Now, you may be thinking that these two simply put their names to some product of the Nike design team, but the pair were actively involved in the design process and took pride in creating the shoes, just have a look at the video.

It must also be said, we grew to love Roger Federer even more after watching the video, just because he is so damn nice…

JOE used to have a promising tennis career before being cut down in our prime when Mom took away Virtual Tennis for the PlayStation, but we are considering investing in a tennis racquet just to have an excuse to buy these bad boys.

The NikeCourt Zoom Vapor AJ3 by Jordan are available in limited supply on the Nike website from today.
