Lot Essay

These sneakers were designed in a unique collaboration between Roger and Michael Jordan. The Nike Zoom Vapor Tour Air Jordan 3 were made in the iconic Jordan style, coupled with Roger’s input about what was required for professional tennis. Michael Jordan came to watch Roger’s first round match against Marinko Matosevic, with Roger commenting that “the pressure’s really on when Michael’s in your box.” Roger would go on to defeat Gael Monfils in a thrilling five set contest in the quarter-finals before losing out to eventual champion Marin Čilić in the semi-final.
