Combining his design skills with Federer's needs and specific request for a running-inspired performance tennis shoe, Tinker brought to life the Zoom Vapor 9 Tour. The innovative design features several interesting performance aspects, including Nike's Dynamic Fit system for maximum lockdown, and a glove-like fit thanks to the lightweight mesh breathable upper.
