FASHION FIX: Preview of Nole's Aussie Open '09 adidas styles


So I've previewed Rafael Nadal's + Roger Federer's Aussie Open '09 Nike duds so let's check out the tennis fashions adidas has come up with for Novak Djokovic.

The defending champ will be working the Edge Polo in phantom which features a black-on-black shadow graphic design on the front and yellow piping on the neckline. The white version showcases the same shadow design in white-on-white on the front body and adidas' 3-stripe trademark in olive and yellow piping on the sleeves. Both Edge Polos showcase the eagle graphic design on the back top-left shoulder Nole debuted at the Masters Cup:


Nole will most likely pair the Edge Polos with the new Edge Bermudas in phantom + olive which have a combination tie + elastic waist and longer length.


The sexy Serb will tie the whole look together with the new sleek + shiny Edge ClimaCool trainers in metallic silver/black/neon yellow.


As you guys know I'm usually pretty tough on adidas for their lack of design innovation and marketing efforts for their top ballers. But, as of late, the sports brand has turned it up a notch and pulled out some interesting and original gear for both Ana Ivanovic + Nole.

Now, while I may not love the actual clothing every time (love the shirts + shoes here, don't love the curtains-as-shorts moment) I can truly appreciate the effort and innovation that adidas has been showing.

What do you guys think of adidas' recent fashion?

DO TELL!

  1. The shirts are fine, bu the shoes i prefer stick with my Barricades...if I put those Silver shoes last thing you see me singing in the court is Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto.

  2. I kinda like it. I love the yellow on the collar of the black, and the green shorts.

    Rich, will you preview Murray's outfit? I have a hankering for that boy (yes, boy, cougar I am, just say it) lately. All that red hair and pasty white skin. yum.

  3. Wow, Rich, you are busy today!
    This look I find boring. Maybe it will look better on him.

  4. I definitely like the shirts and the detailing on the shoes. They will look good on Nole. As far as Ana's duds in Doha - big fan! Love the color.

  5. I really like the outfit, except for the shorts in olive - can't see how a snot colour would be flattering LOL.

    But the shoes are so cool! Yay for Mr. Roboto! ;-))

  6. You know, those shoes with those outfits just aren't doing it for me: I've never been a fan of the metallic ones, including the gold ones that debuted in Shanghai. I like the outfits, though. Black shoes or white ones with the olive would work better, I feel.

  7. ooh, i'm loving nole's stuff for the AO. but i have to agree with uvijeck argen, he should stick to his barricades. i do hope too that adidas gives nole better shoes for wimbledon so that he doesn't have to wear those of nike's again.

    and as for ana's outfit, i didn't like it until i saw it on her. purple looks divine on ana.

  8. Why are they making the shorts longer?! Adidas, we need to see Nole's muscular thighs please!
    Not a huge fan of the colours, but Nole will probably manage to look good in these designs anyway.

  10. mr vanwell: nole may opt for a white version of the ClimaCools for the white + olive look. i agree it would the silver would clash.

    anon 11:39 - yeah his thighs are to die like rafa's. he has great legs...well great everything IMHO (sans the sometimes annoying attitude)!

  11. Totally, Rich. My favourite features of Nole are his eyes (that colour...) and his lips. Can't help it, but they look so kissable. Yum.
