Roger Federer and Michael Jordan design special shoe for US Open

Michael Jordan and Roger Federer

Two legends of the sport, Roger Federer and Michael Jordan teamed up to design and create new tennis shoes for the 17-time Grand Slam winner. 

The 6-time NBA winner met Federer in New York to discuss the shoe. 

Jordan was also present at Flushing Meadows on Tuesday to watch his first tennis match in a stadium. Federer made quick work of his opponent, Marinko Matosevic, in the first round, winning 6-3, 6-4, 7-6. Jordan spoke about the tennis great, his own twins and the atmosphere in a quick interview.

The shoes are indeed beautifully designed and Jordan rightly points out that the tennis legend makes them look better.

It looks like the shoes have worked wonders for Federer. The Swiss champion was moving perfectly throughout the match including running back to hit this amazing tweener. Michael Jordan enjoyed thoroughly enjoyed that one.
