CLEVELAND – October 24, 2017 – Waving flag on the mast with Cleveland Cavaliers NBA basketball team logo, United States.
Perhaps better known for his personal life than his playing career, Tristan Trevor James Thompson is a professional basketball for the Cleveland Cavaliers, playing in the NBA.
Born in Toronto, Canada, Thompson is
currently 27 years old and has played professional basketball since 2011. Prior
to this time, Thompson attended college in Texas, but left at the end of
freshman year to join the NBA, making his debut for the Cavaliers in December
2011. Impressing from the get-go, Thompson made the 2012 NBA All-Rookie Second
Team, during his first full season in the league.
Towards the end of the 2015 season, Thompson was contractually a free agent but decided to re-sign with the Cavaliers for a further five years. His current contract is thought to be worth $82 million, and shortly after negotiations completed, the Cavaliers (with the help of Thompson) won their first NBA championship in 52 years.
Salary and Net Worth
Thompson is relatively underrated, and few know that he is the first player in the history of the Cavaliers to play in 400 regular games consecutively, starting in December 2016 onwards. He has a net worth of around $35 million currently, however that is expected to go up, as his contract increases by $1 million for every season.

Personal Life
On top of this, Thompson ‘enjoys’ a large
amount of attention for his personal life, with on-off partner Khloe
Kardashian. A parent of two children, Thompson welcomes baby True Thompson into
the world with Kardashian in April 2018. Despite this joyous occasion, the days
prior to the birth were marred by wide-spread cheating rumours. Kardashian
seemed to have forgiven the faux pas, however further rumours of cheating with
a close family friend of the Kardashian clan has since emerged, throwing doubt
into the future of the relationship.
Despite his talent on the court,
Thompson is far better known for his personal life, perhaps unfairly. Whether
he can ride out the storm of constant cheating rumours remains to be seen, as
many Kardashian fans are certainly not on Thompson’s side since torrid stories
emerged. Continuing to play ball, the Cavaliers continuously select Thompson in
the side and personal issues don’t seem to be affecting his prowess on the
court, with the Cavaliers still riding high in the NBA.
Currently, Thompson doesn’t have any big named endorsement deals, and it will probably stay that way until personal rumours have died down. Despite that, his worth to the Cavaliers speaks volumes.

It’s that time of year again, the time
when we pick a side and scream at the TV with all our might. With Super Sunday
upon us, celebrities all over the country are telling us who they’re rooting
for, but sporting stars tend to be a little more subtle. Some come right out
and say it, some wear garments with supportive messages, whilst others, well,
they make us think a little more. With that in mind, did Drew Brees just give
us the biggest clue yet on who he’s rooting for?
Cryptic
Brees was recently pictured court-side
at the Smoothie King center for the recent Pelicans – San Antonio Spurs game,
and if we’re not mistaken, we’re pretty sure a huge hint was sent our way.
Having recently celebrated his 40th birthday, the New Orleans Saints
quarterback was obviously cheering on his team, but his hat told us something
else entirely, possibly about his Super Bowl inclinations. Wearing a Boston Red
Sox cap and no other garments relating to teams, many supporters guessed that
Brees was giving us cryptic clues!
As we’re all aware by now, the Super
Bowl will be contested between the Los Angeles Rams and the New England
Patriots, with the Patriots going for a record win. The Rams beat Brees’ Saints
in a super-controversial NFC Championship Match in Atlantic recently, and many
feel that the not-so-subtle hat might be a quick indication of who Brees might
be cheering on when Super Sunday comes our way. If that is the case, you can be
sure that New England-based fans will be loving Brees and his supportive ways!
What do you think? Do you think Brees
was being cryptic and under the radar? It certainly looks that way!
Endorsements And Net Worth
Drew Brees has many endorsement deals including AdvoCare which provides sports performance products and solutions. You can see here some of the AdvoCare products Drew uses here. Drew net worth was reported in the Express Newspaper in 2019 at $130 million dollars.
Boot Shorts for the sporty ladies out there, you have countless different fashion choices to look for when it comes to not only finding the most supportive items for your particular sporting discipline, but also the most on-trend. For ladies who love pilates, yoga, dancing, running, and any other type of sport which involves quick movement and the requirement to have no restrictive clothing in the way, booty shorts are a great idea.
Now, booty shorts aren’t the clothing
choice for everyone; if you don’t like shorts which are short, e.g. they
literally just cover the bottom of the booty, effectively cupping it, then
you’re not going to like these types of shorts. If however you have no issue
with that, and you want to feel free and able to move without restriction, these
fashion choices are idea. You’ll no doubt have seen several sporting stars
wearing them on the practice fields and in the gym, as well as out on court or
on the race track. You’ll certainly have seen many runners wearing them in huge
events, such as the Olympics.
The problem with choosing sportswear is
that there are countless different choices on the market. This can make finding
the right option for you difficult. Never fear however, because we’ve reviewed
some of the best on the market, and some of the biggest brand names too, to
help you whittle down your choice and find the ideal option for your sporting
discipline, and your body shape. Always remember to shop around before making
any decision on sportswear, but these suggestions should certainly be high up
on your shortlist.
EllelLut is a big brand name in the sportswear
world, so you can be sure you’re getting quality before you even look into the
product in any great detail! For the brand, these shorts are good value for
money, at around $13, and they are available in 15 different color designs. The
color you choose will have a contrast piping detail on the lower hemline and on
the stripes which go down the sides.
These booty shorts are made of breathable
material, which keeps moisture away from your body whilst you’re doing whatever
sport you are into, and helps you stay fresh and less distracted as a result.
The waistline has strong elastic, but not so rigid that they dig in or become
uncomfortable. The material make up is cotton and Spandex, so you are able to
stretch and move with ease; ideal if you are choosing yoga, pilates, or dance
as your sport of choice. Of course, these shorts also look great on the beach
whilst on holiday, so they are multi-functional too!
Pros:
Available

annoyance
Rothco Women’s Booty
Shorts
Available in three different camouflage-inspired designs, these booty shorts are ideal for anyone who wants to be able to move freely. These are slightly shorter than the other product we just reviewed, which may not be for everyone, but if you don’t have an issue with the shortness of your shorts, these are a super-fashionable option for sporting ladies, or those who want a fashionable look in general.
These shorts are low in price, at less than $15,
depending upon your size and color choice option, and they are made of a
mixture of cotton and Spandex, with the Spandex content at 10%, for extra
stretch and movement. The waistband is also thin enough to avoid digging in,
ensuring extra comfort. Again, Rothco is a big named brand, so you know you’re
going to get a quality product for your cash, and sizes range from small, up to

far, sizing ranges from extra small, up to XX large, so there is scope for all

front, which is designed for comfort and coverage. This makes these shorts
ideal for any type of sporting activity, including yoga with stretching involved.
The shorts are made of a Polyester, Nylon, and
Spandex combination, with 12% Spandex giving extra stretch when needed. The
shorts are also designed with a contrast color band down the sides and around
the bottom edge, for extra style. The fabric is also moisture wicking, to keep
sweat away from the body, including on the waistband, which can sometimes be a
problem area. The waistband is also ‘fold over’ in design, to ensure that it

uncomfortable.

including cute pastel shades which would also be ideal for use as pajamas,
these booty shorts are the ultimate in flexibility, and also come from a big
brand name. At a very slightly higher price to the other options we have
mentioned so far, these booty shorts look cute and could easily be used as a
fashion choice, just as much as a sporting one. This means you’re getting extra
flexibility for your cash. Sizes range from extra small to extra large, and all
users state that these shorts are true to size.
The shorts are made of a brushed/combed cotton
and Polyester band, and have an elasticated waistline for comfort. These shorts

may need to adjust your sizing if you do want a snug fit. They are also
lightweight and resistant to wrinkling, feeling very soft to the touch.

even for sleeping in!
Comfortable
fabric which feels soft to touch
All sizes

Big named
brand for extra peace of mind

short while
Many users
prefer these for fashion, rather than sport, which is something to consider as
a personal option
These shorts might be higher in price than our other reviewed items, but they are very versatile and fashionable, and can be worn for a variety of different uses. With sizes ranging from extra small to extra large, you can choose between a huge 23 different colors and designs, with patterned prints also on offer. The shorts are designed to be compression booty shorts, but they are slightly longer than some of the other shorts we’ve reviewed so far, which may be a plus point for some women. It all depends on what you’re looking for.
The shorts are made of stretchable Nylon
for the solid color block options, and compression Polyester for the patterned
options, to ensure that the patterns don’t stretch out of shape and look terrible!
There is also a matte finish on the shorts, and they look seriously fashionable
for sporting endeavors.

Choose between a large number of colors or
patterns
Patterned shorts are made of compression
Polyester, to ensure the pattern doesn’t stretch and fade
Slightly longer length than some other products
we’ve reviewed, which is a positive for many women
Matte finish for a high quality look
Big named brand once more
Cons:
Slightly more expensive than some of our other
products
Certainly a sporty choice, rather than a
fashion-wear choice
These shorts are a great budget choice for women who want to look the sporty part during dance, yoga, pilates, or running. Available in five different color choices, the bottom section is black, whilst the waistband is color contrast, depending upon your choice. The shorts are made of a Nylon and Spandex mix, with a 13% Spandex content, giving them the greatest amount of stretch we’ve reviewed so far.
The fabric is designed to be moisture
wicking, so no annoying sweat situations to deal with, and the waistband folds
over, to make it look super-sporty, but also give you extra support in the
stomach area, if you prefer it. The seams are also designed to be flat, to
avoid chafing on the inner thighs. As an extra perk, there is a small hidden
pocket on the waistband too.
Pros:
Low priced product, from a big named brand
Higher level of Spandex for stretch, at 13%
Five different color contrast choices to opt for
Moisture wicking material, to avoid sweaty situations
Flat seams to avoid chafing
Hidden pocket on the waistband
Cons:
Not really a fashionable choice, and really only
suitable for sports, which cuts down the versatility side of things
Our final choice is a very attractive
pair of booty shorts, with tie sides which can be ‘ruched’ for a higher cut and
a fashionable piece of embellishment too. The shorts are available in seven
different colors, which are all neutral and suitable to be worn on the beach,
as well as for yoga, dancing, pilates, running, etc.
The shorts are made of a mixture of
cotton, Nylon, and Spandex, with a 12% Spandex content for extra comfort and
stretch. The material is breathable and lightweight, and the waistband folds
over for extra support and fashion. There is also a lining inside the shorts to
avoid see through issues, and to give extra support. You can also choose
between sizes of extra small, up to XX large.
Pros:
Fashionable item with a ‘ruched’ side drawstring
option
Neutral colors to choose from, making them a
fashion item, as well as a sporting choice
High Spandex content for extra stretch
Breathable and lightweight fabric
Extra lining inside to avoid the material being
see-through
Large size range available
Cons:
Fabric is breathable but it isn’t designed to be
moisture wicking
Some users state that the fabric goes out of
shape quite easily when the ruching side ties are used regularly
Booty Shorts Final Thoughts
Booty shorts are certainly designed to give extra
stretch and a more natural feel to the woman who is wearing them. Whilst not
everyone woman may like the mini length of these types of shorts, a few of
these designs do come a little further down the leg, and have a lower cut at
the back. This makes booty shorts wearable by everyone, no matter what their
shape or size.
Suitable for running, yoga, pilates, dance, or
general gym wear/training, booty shorts are also suitable to wear as a fashion
piece, perhaps even in bed as a pair of pajamas!
Remember to shop around to find the right pair of shorts for you, but these seven products we have just reviewed are certainly high quality options, which all come in at very reasonable prices too.
Yoga has
certainly gained popularity over the last few years, and it’s not hard to see
why when you look into the benefits of this mind, body, and soul discipline. Is
it a sport? It certainly is if you consider sport to be something that makes
you sweat and works out your body!
Yoga is
perfect for helping to boost mobility, stretching out tense muscles,
strengthening the entire body and core, as well as battling stress, anxiety,
depression, and calming the mind. By learning how to focus on your breath, you’re
teaching your body some very useful coping techniques, but you’re also helping
your body to go one further. Breath helps the body stretch, and ironically,
you’re also sending important oxygen and nutrients around the body in general
too.
As you can see,
there’s no downside to yoga!
You can opt
for the baggy t-shirt and leggings option when you head to a yoga class, but
surely you want to fit in and look the part? Of course, you also want to know
that the clothing you wear is supportive and helps you to practice the various
different yoga poses with ease. In that case, you’ll be needing some high
quality ladies yoga shorts. The market is flooded with various different types
of yoga gear, and reviews are certainly the best to separate the good from the not
so good. Luckily for you, we’ve reviewed some of the best ladies yoga shorts on
the market, helping you to make the right decision for your specific needs and
circumstances.
We’ve looked into various different
top named brands, including Lululemon, Athleta, Fabletics, Gymshark, and Alo
Yoga, so you know you’re getting the very best of the best.
The great thing about ladies yoga pants is that it doesn’t matter what your size or shape, they are designed for every body type out there. These Homma Women’s Seamless Compression Yoga Shorts can be purchased at Walmart. They are perfect for fashion conscious ladies, and are available in ten attractive colors. You can go for regular black if you want to, but why not opt for orange or lime green? You’ll really stand out in the gym wearing those!
The material is a nylon, polyester and Spandex mix, which means
you don’t have to worry about rigidity; these shorts move as you do, helping
you to reach those harder poses. The price is also very affordable, at less
than $15, with the exact price depending upon color and size chosen.
Aside form the spandex included in the design, these shorts help

Lululemon Run Speed Short
These shorts are ideal for those who want their shorts to be less towards the compression side of the style scale, and slightly looser. These are actually designed to be running shorts, but they are also ideal for yoga, thanks to the comfortable fit and supportive design.
Available only in black, these shorts are made of a recycled
polyester and elastane mix, so they’re not particularly stretchy per se. This
means it is important to get your ideal size and make sure these give you extra
stretch room for your yoga poses. Despite that, the waist does have a drawcord
adjustment area, so you can customize your fit a little. The material is also
sweat wicking, to keep the moisture away from your skin using your class, with

conscious of their stomach
Pockets on both legs

are quite a useless feature for this particular sport
Baleaf Women’s High Waist Workout Yoga Shorts Tummy Control Side Pockets
Baleaf is a big named brand, which should give you a huge amount of peace of mind from the get-go.

which helps women to feel more confident in a yoga class, if they have a
specific problem with their stomach area. The shorts are also made of
Polyester, Spandex, and Cotton, which gives them a quality feel, and they’re also
very easy to wash. The material is not at all see through, and it is also

most. These shorts are ideal for yoga or running, depending upon your
discipline.
The shorts are made of Polyester, Nylon, and Spandex, and have a

to think about, depending upon your preference.
These shorts are made of a Polyester, Nylon, and Spandex mix, and the

avoid shrinkage. This is also something which several other previous users have

Final Thoughts
Choosing the right yoga pants for your classes, or perhaps your
workout at home, is vital if you want to be comfortable as you learn the
different poses. The length of the shorts is important, but so is the length of
the waistband, and you need to be clear what you want before you start to look
around for your ideal purchase.
In order to enjoy your yoga class, you need zero distractions. Choosing the right pair of ladies yoga shorts will certainly go a long way to helping you in that regard.
One
of the most famous athletes on the planet, even outside of his native USA, is
Tom Brady.
The veteran New England Patriots quarterback who wears the number 12 jersey is still going strong, having recently won yet another Super Bowl with the team. His career in the NFL reads like an illustrious what’s what of football success, and there is still no date set for his retirement.
Net worth
Perhaps also most commonly known for his personal life, Brady is married to supermodel Gisele Bundchen and is a father to three children, two boys, and one girl. The couple married in 2009 and have been regulars on red carpets events ever since. Their joint net worth is eye-watering, with Bundchen worth a huge $400 million, and Brady’s net worth stands at $180 million.
Born
in San Mateo, California stands at a tall 1.93 meters and has always been a
success since the first moment he began playing. As his career has developed,
Brady has been careful with the endorsement deals he has signed his name to,
with a desire to build a reputation for class and quality, rather than quick
bucks. The most recent endorsement Brady has signed is with British car company
Aston Martin, one of the coolest and most stylish cars around! The latest car
with Brady’s endorsement costs more than $200,000 to purchase!
Endorsements – Under Armour and No 12 Jersey
In his earlier days, Brady did sign his name to endorse deals which were a little lower in the affordability scale, perhaps to appeal to his regular fan base. These endorsements were with the likes of Gap, Hershey’s, and Dunkin’ Donuts. As his reputation and class have begun to go before him, his endorsements are now more luxurious, including Tag Heuer, UGGs, and Under Armour football including sleepwear.
If you are looking to purchase Brady’s famous no 12 jersey you can buy directly on the NFL website.
In
the past, Brady has also put his name to Stetson cologne, Wheaties, Visa, Nike,
Intel, and Cadillac. He also appeared in the Madden NFL 18 game through EA
(Electronic Arts) and has a range of fitness clothing and cookery books on his
own online store.
Of course, marrying a supermodel with such a huge net worth basically means that their joint worth is staggering and with ongoing success for the New England Patriots, Brady is still their star player, even after the 40 years of age mark! With a fantastic level of fitness and a desire to continue, who knows how long we will continue to see Brady gracing the field. Rumors have run riot for years, but he still continues to play at the highest level!

Hiking is a pastime which requires fitness, curiosity, and of course, supportive shoes and clothing. When moving around difficult terrain, it’s important to be comfortable but also to know that your clothing, from your shoes to your shorts and you shirt, is going to stay where it is supposed to, and that the material is not going to cause you to sweat excessively.
For ladies who love to hike, there are specific hiking shorts to choose from. These are usually made of specific materials which are not only lightweight to feel like a second skin, but the material is also designed to be moisture wicking. This means that sweat is taken way from the body and that it doesn’t become wet, sticking to your skin and causing chaffing and a generally unpleasant feeling.
Hiking shorts are usually quite tight and certain products show a fair amount of skin, but this is for a reason. During hot weather especially, when hiking, women need to feel that they’re not being held back. These shorts however are surprisingly supportive and comfortable. The problem is there are many of them on the market, so to help you out, we’ve reviewed some of the best around. This should help you in your purchasing decision!

Go with the design which you feel comfortable in, and opt for a material which has a certain amount of stretch to it, making your hiking and general walking endeavours much easier, and far more fun as a result.
The products we have reviewed all fall within the mid-price range, however two of them were slightly higher than average. This is something to weigh up in terms of how much you’re happy to spend on your thinking shorts. Do bear in mind that if you are a serious hikers, it’s best to splash a little more cash on items which are going to stand the test of time, rather than to have to keep replacing sub-standard equipment.
It goes without saying that your hiking shorts should be accompanied by a high quality pair of hiking shoes or boots, to ensure that you receive the right amount of support and shock absorption for your joints and bones, whilst you’re exploring whatever Mother Nature has to offer.
Cristiano Ronaldo latest pair of Nike CR7 Cleats – Mercurial Superfly boots.
Kyiv, Ukraine – October 14, 2019: Cristiano Ronaldo – Nike CR7 Cleats Blue
The 34-year-old Juventus star shows off his latest Nike CR7 Cleats set of blue boots, though the color seems to change and we have seen Ronaldo wear Cleats in Green, White, Yellow, and Blue. Fans wanting to buy the CR7 clears will have to fork out $220 to wear a pair.
The Juventus star is one of three players celebrated for their speed in the game. The Portugal star is one of three players Nike has chosen to celebrate their achievements.
VALENCIA, SPAIN – FEBRUARY 22: Cristiano Ronaldo during La Liga soccer match between Valencia CF and Real Madrid at Mestalla Stadium on February 22, 2017 in Valencia, Spain
Nike CR7 shoe designs are set to be worn exclusively by Ronaldo, Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe, and Australia’s Sam Kerr. “Now, I am excited to see you all follow your dreams in my new #Mercurial Dream Speed.”
Ronaldo has been signed by Nike since 2003 and has worn over half-a-century of Mercurial boots so far in his career. This has followed him from Manchester to Madrid, and onto Turin.
The Nike giant will run the Dream Speed series for several seasons, with the first installment coming in a bold Blue and Metallic Silver.
Nike claim: “The Superfly has always had a close fit for high-speed play, but now stronger, softer Flyknit wraps your foot more securely and more comfortably.
“It’s also lighter for a crazy-fast feeling.
“Stronger Flyknit uses less material, which means your foot is closer to the ball.
“An ultra-thin finish gives you consistent touch in any condition.

Tennis is one of the most popular sports on the planet, and with the biggest tournaments and Grand Slams adoring our TV screens, many budding players want to wear the best tennis shoes as their heroes.
A pair of regular sneakers or trainers are not going to cut the mustard if you want to emulate Federer, and in that case, you need to invest in a quality pair of tennis shoes. Tennis shoes are built with support in mind, but also need to be lightweight enough for you to be able to fly around the court, with a little bounce in the heel when you need it.
Roger Federer Nike White and Black Tennis Shoes
There are countless different types of tennis shoes on the market, with Adidas and Nike dominating the big-name scene. Of course, this is also reflected in the tennis shoes worn by the top 10 ATP players at the moment also. Except for one or two, the entire top 10 wear shoes by either Nike or Adidas.
What you should bear in mind however is that most players also have endorsement contracts, and this often includes the shoes they wear. As a result, they wear all the company’s apparel and be paid a very tidy sum for it. If you want to emulate Djokovic, Nadal or Federer, you’re going to have to pay a little extra to own the big named brands they wear on their feet whilst playing.
Of course, you want to know what shoes the top 10 players are wearing. The top 10 rankings change according to performance, but at the current moment (summer 2019), the standings are:
ATP Ranking
Novak Djokovic
Rafael Nadal
Roger Federer
Dominic Thiem
Alexander Zverev
Stefanos Tsitsipas
Kei Nishikori
Karen Khachanov
Fabio Fognini
Daniil Medvedev
So, what shoes do these big hitters wear on the court?
Most players tend to stick to what they know, however as we mentioned earlier, this can depend also upon their endorsement deals at the time. In some cases, shoes aren’t included in deals, and that means that players can continue to wear their classic favorites, regardless of the company they’re signed up for bags, rackets, clothing, etc. This does vary, however.
Who’s Wearing What?
Rafael Nadal – Nike Tennis Shoes
World number one and Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic is now using Asic Court FF2 Tennis Shoes. These shoes are classic in design but are also engineered to be lightweight. This gives Novak his speed around the court, but the in-built support also gives peace of mind.
Imagine the amount of running, twisting, and turning that goes on during the course of a three-set match alone, you’ll understand why lightweight is always better, which is something Djokovic’s shoes give him. Heavy shoes will hold you back and mean you don’t catch those rallies on the baseline, or make it to the net in time for a clever lob.
Rafael Nadal Nike Tennis Shoes
In comparison, world number two, Rafael Nadal, is a Nike fan through and through, having stuck with the brand since his early days. Nadal is currently wearing the Nike Lunar Ballistic 1.5, one of the most popular tennis shoes over. These shoes give a good amount of support, whilst remaining lightweight for quick movements on the court. Nike tennis shoes look the part, which is probably why they’re so popular worldwide in terms of consumerism. The iconic ‘swoosh’ mark seems to sell!
That brings us to the iconic Mr Federer. Former world number one and all-time great. Federer is a firm Nike favorite once more, but he prefers to go for the Nike Zoom Vapor 9.5 Flyknit. This is a shoe that places a lot of emphasis on a lightness that allows Federer to literally bounce around the court and reach those impossible shots. This is also durable shoe, built to last for a long five-setter, and it has built-in support to cushion the foot for extra comfort. This is one of the best-selling shoes worldwide, probably because it is seen regularly on the feet of Federer!
Beyond The Top Three
After the famous three of Djokovic, Nadal, and Federer, we still see some extremely popular players, who are attempting to stake their claim on the dizzy heights of world number one. Dominic Thiem is currently sitting at number four, and he is another Adidas fan.
Thiem is often seen wearing the Adidas Barricade 17, the original of which has been around for more than 20 years. As slight technological changes occur, the Barricade model is updated, but the general theme remains the same. This shoe is renowned for its durability, comfort, and support whilst flying around the court, and it is also lightweight, with a little bounce in the heel. World number six, Stefanos Tsitsipas, is also an Adidas Barricade 17 wearer, remaining loyal to one of Adidas’ oldest shoes.
Next up we have world number five Alexander Zverev. Whilst possibly not the biggest household name, Zverev is making waves on the ATP tour, scoring highly at majors. Another Adidas loyalist, Zverev favors the Adizero Ubersonic 2, which is a slightly different choice to many of his competitors. This tennis shoe is designed with an extra bounce in mind, which allows him to move faster on the court.
Kei Nishikori Tennis Shoe
Kei is a Nike fan, often changing his model of shoe, but always sticking with a Nike option overall. This is the same for Karen Khachanov, however, he seems to favour the Zoom Vapor model, which is designed for speed and durability over the course of a long match.
The Final Two
Rounding up the top ten on the ATP tour we have number nine, Fabio Fognini, and number ten, Daniil Medvedev.
Fognini makes a different choice to the rest of his competitors, shunning the big names of Adidas and Nike, and instead of going for the relative newcomer to the tennis world, Asics.
Having been around for many years Asics is becoming a popular option for players outside of the top ten. And perhaps not within reach of the big sponsorship deals with Nike and Adidas. This doesn’t make Asics lower in quality. However as the Asics Gel Resolution 7, seen on the feet of Fognini, is designed for total durability. Also to keep the foot stable during gameplay. The gel support is also extremely comfortable and gives a little extra bounce.
Finally, we have Medvedev, who is
signed to Lacoste and is often seen wearing their total apparel, including
shoes. A little like Asics, Lacoste may seem a less popular choice, but this is
a name that has been evident in tennis for many years!
Looking For a New Pair of Tennis Shoes?
Now you know what tennis shoes the top
ten on the ATP tour wear, which will you choose?
It’s important to shop around to find the best deals, especially if you’re looking for the biggest models from Nike and Adidas. High-quality tennis shoes are not cheap, but they are necessary if you want to play to the best of your ability, and remain safe and injury-free at the same time.
Many people wonder why you cannot wear regular running shoes when playing tennis, and why you need to purchase a separate set of tennis shoes. The reason is that tennis shoes are designed with the tennis court and the types of movement you make whilst playing, in mind. Tennis shoes are designed to allow your foot to remain stable in your shoe. And also help while you are moving sideways and back again, a common movement when playing the sport.
High Quality
Good tennis shoes also feature a certain amount of ankle support, which regular running shoes do not have. There is also a type of support at the front of the foot, provided you opt for a high-quality pair. This is often a gel or bubble technology, but it cushions the foot and holds it in place, minimizing the feel of impact with the court.
Choosing low-quality tennis shoes could do more than hinder your game. And it could cause you to turn an ankle whilst playing, develop blisters, and could also put extra pressure on your knees or back. Rather than investing a huge amount of cash in the clothing and even the best racket around. It’s probably a better idea to think from the bottom up and work towards purchasing a high-quality pair of tennis shoes first and foremost.
Idol Tennis Shoes
Many ATP players know what they need to build their game, and they know this isn’t always about skill. And often about the shoes and the equipment they use. By using the same winning mentality, perhaps you could be breaking your way into the top 10 in the next few years!
