Unveiling the Roger Pro Fire Tennis Shoe, a New Performance Gear for Tennis Enthusiasts
Introducing the ON Roger Pro Fire: A Shoe Built for High-Level Tennis Play
The ON Roger Pro Fire is a new addition to Roger Federer's tennis shoe franchise, designed specifically for competitive players who demand a shoe that matches their speed, strength, and aggression on the court. This shoe caters particularly to those who favor an attacking baseline style and need robust protection for sliding [1][2].
The shoe's unique selling point is its Speedboard plate, which has a unique geometry that extends into the forefoot. This engineering provides support and energy return to the midfoot during lateral movement, while still offering flexibility under the toe box [3]. The upper uses Engineered Mesh combined with synthetic materials for breathability and a supportive fit, and a midfoot cage locks in the foot for additional support [1].
The outsole is designed with a herringbone pattern optimized for traction on clay courts but durable enough for hard courts, allowing players to slide when needed. Reinforced toe guards and overlays protect during slides, and inside eyelets prevent lace breakage, enhancing durability for tough tennis play [1][4].
Compared to other shoes in Federer's performance line, such as the lifestyle-oriented Roger ADV Z5, the Roger Pro Fire is distinctly performance-focused, built specifically for on-court use with features designed to handle hard pivots, quick direction changes, and aggressive play. It shifts away from fashion-first models toward serious tennis functionality, emphasizing stability, lateral support, and durability [2].
The Roger Pro Fire stands out in Federer's performance line by incorporating a full carbon fiber Speedboard for energetic, stable rides, using a breathable engineered mesh upper with support cages for lockdown, featuring an outsole optimized for clay and hard courts with a durable herringbone pattern, adding durability-focused elements like reinforced toe guards and slide protection, and prioritizing on-court performance and stability over lifestyle aesthetics seen in other Federer models like the Roger ADV Z5 [1][2][4].
On has two distinct performance models in tennis with The Roger Pro Fire and The Roger Pro 2 on the tour. The Roger Advantage Pro and The Roger Clubhouse Pro offer everyday court-ready shoes. The Roger Pro Fire launches in a bold pink/flame colorway alongside a limited-edition black/pink colorway [5].
Notable players like Flavio Cobolli, Joao Fonseca, and Iga Swiatek have already switched to the Roger Pro Fire tennis shoe, which will be launched on Aug. 19 [6]. The shoe is intended for the modern-day explosive and aggressive player.
