Roger Federer is still working on his career after his career. As announced a few days ago, he joined as a shareholder in the Swiss shoe company On . However, this does not seem to affect his tennis career. Because tennis shoes will obviously not produce On - for the time being.
"We've talked about it already, but right now I'm still playing with Nike shoes, because they have been tailored to my feet for many years," Federer said in an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung . "If someday I do not actively play tennis anymore, I'm sure I'll go to the tennis court with an on- shoe and we'll probably have enough time to build such a model by then, but nothing is decided yet."
Federer had left his outfitter Nike last year and signed with Uniqlo , allegedly to him in this case 300 million US dollars in ten years to come. However, since Uniqlo does not produce tennis shoes, Federer has stayed with Nike in this regard. The US sporting goods giant also holds the rights to Federer RF logo. However, Federer was confident he would get it back soon.
