THE ROGER Pro – On’s Original Competition Tennis Shoe
THE ROGER Pro is On’s first-ever tennis competition shoe, co-created with Roger Federer. It combines carbon fiber stability with soft, responsive cushioning for serious match play.
What Makes THE ROGER Pro Different
- A carbon fiber plate along the bottom adds sturdy, spring-loaded stability
- Mesh cage wraps the midfoot through the toe box for a locked-in fit
- CloudTec® cushioning gives a soft, responsive feel underfoot during long rallies
- Sturdy build supports serve-and-volley players who move forward and back quickly
- Blue Swiss Engineering detailing on the sidewall marks its Swiss technical roots
- Balances firm court stability with a surprisingly soft step-in feel
The Shoe That Started the Roger Collection
Before Pro 2, Pro 3, or any lifestyle spin-offs, THE ROGER Pro was On’s original bet on tennis. Long-term testers describe it as combining the sturdiness of a classic Adidas Barricade with the lightness of a Nike Zoom Vapor, a rare balance for a brand’s first tennis shoe.
Fit & Durability Notes
True to size, with a snug, locked-in feel from the midfoot cage. Expect visible wear on the sliding side after months of aggressive court use, though the outsole itself tends to hold up well.
