And so we turn to Rafael Nadal's look at Australian Open 2012. If you've been watching you've noticed, more super bright. The tennis fashion gods must be trying to awaken us from the recession. I like the shoulder details on this tennis shirt though, modern day epaulets for the commander, $68 (Hey it's got the bull logo so no griping lol). No sew seams on the shoulders mean no chafing. The color is good on someone with a darker skin tone. It's called the Spring Rafa Finals crew. Did someone tell Nike something we ought to be betting on? White, long (23" inseam on the large) loose fitting "Finals" shorts in white, $68. No drawstring here, a hook and bar closure insures a sleek line. Nadal wears his shirts tight, no lumps allowed. Nadal's shoe is the Nike Air Court Ballistec 4.3. Find it all at Nike, Tennis-Warehouse and tennis retailers worldwide.
