Roger Federer was out on the courts for U.S. Open’s Arthur Ashe Kids Day. The 36-year-old and winner of 19 grand slams is also looking to go for 20 in New York at the coveted hard-court event. While we’ve seen the footwear mashup between Jordan and Federer happen with the Zoom Vapors, it looks like Fed is taking a break from his signature kicks to wear the much-hyped Virgil Abloh x Nike Air Jordan 1.

The kicks in question are part of “The Ten” sneaker drop happening around September and Virgil himself revealed Fed wearing them on his Instagram Live. Check them out above and below and if you’re looking to follow Federer in action, his first match will be against the up-and-coming American Frances Tiafoe Jr. on August 28.
