Tennis legend Roger Federer has been with Nike since 1994, but the long partnership has come to an end as Federer has signed a new endorsement deal with Japanese company Uniqlo.

Sources say the deal is worth more than $300 million guaranteed over 10 years and has an unprecedented clause that says that Federer will collect the money even if he doesn’t play. According to Darren Rovell, the deal could be even more lucrative for Federer, as it includes the right for his team to sell some patches on his shirt, something he wasn’t able to do with Nike.

Nike was given the right to match the deal and passed.

Above you will get a first look at the Nike SB Zoom Janoski HT Slip-On British Tan. This new colorway of the model comes dressed in a Tan suede upper complimented by the tonal stitching and embossed Swoosh branding. Subtle in appearance, the shoe is given a nice pop by way of the Blue Vpid weaved laces that act as the main lacing system. Below you will find your traditional White rubber cupsole to complete the look of the shoe. No official release date has been announced but we will let you know as soon as more info is released.

One of the original Nike Air Mags that was worn by Marty McFly in the 1989 movie Back to the Future Part II has just been auctioned off and you won’t believe how much it sold for.

Considered by many sneakerheads one of Nike’s “grails”, the shoe was designed by Tinker Hatfield and is uniquely known for its self-lacing shoe-laces, blinking neon lights, and futuristic look.

The shoe was sold by eBay seller Shoezeum for a whopping $92,100 and as you can see from the images above, the shoe isn’t even wearable as it has deteriorated on the midsole due to age. Who knew that a sneaker from 1989 could sell for this crazy amount of money. How much would you pay for a piece of Hollywood/sneaker history?

Corduroy appears to be the move for Nike in 2018. Whether Nike uses the material as the base of the shoe or simply as a nice little pop on the design, corduroy has appeared on several different models this year. Next up, this premium iteration of the Air Max 1.

The Nike Air Max 1 Premium comes dressed in a smooth Black leather upper. Smooth leather takes care of the majority of the shoe, with the exception of the textured leather found on the heel region. The leather build is then accompanied by the corduroy accents found on the collar and tongue of the shoe. Adding even more unique detailing to the shoe is the use of a Nike Swoosh that is embroide in a Red half solid/half striped design. Below you will find a White midsole and Gum rubber outsole to complete the look of the shoe. Said to be a women’s exclusive, look for the Nike Air Max 1 Premium at select retailers today for $130.

Nike celebrates its three Nike athletes (Antonio Brown, Gronk and Luke Kuechly) who achieved 99 OVR in Madden 19 by gifting them custom Madden 99 Club cleats.

Through intricate details, such as player celebration imagery, team mottos like ?Keep Pounding? (Panthers? motto) and player mantras such as ?C.U.E.U.P.U? (Antonio?s personal motto, Chest Up Eyes Up Prayed Up), the golden shoe represents a welcome to the new golden standard.
