The Lore
Tiafoe had big plans with the shoe switch back in June, writing on Instagram, “Super pumped to start wearing Naomi Osaka’s shoe. Gonna start rocking it, come Wimbledon. She is my home girl. Show her love and I can’t wait to start rocking it.”
The American was true to his word and pulled off some epic performances throughout the summer, culminating in a five-set thriller against eventual champion Carlos Alcaraz in Flushing Meadows.
Osaka gave Tiafoe high marks after his fourth-round upset over Nadal, writing, “shoe game crazy…keep it rollin” on her Instagram story in September.
The four-time Grand Slam champion has gotten more into the fashion mix in 2022 and currently boasts a men’s and women’s NikeCourt line that features some psychedelic colors and urban flair just in time for the holiday season.
