A high performance tennis shoe that blends comfort, support, and a stable ride. Co-created with the Swiss legend himself, Roger Federer.
ON enters the high performance tennis footwear market with the ON The Roger Pro, a design influenced by Roger Federer himself! These shoes are built for the player who can hit all the shots and embodies nimble, balanced movement on the court. Already known for its comfortable yet responsive cushioning with its running shoes, ON carries that over into these premium court shoes, while also focusing on making them very supportive and stable. A unique design feature is the 100% carbon fiber Speedboard located in the midfoot shank region, which gives explosive energy return and also creates a more stable ride. The upper features Engineered Mesh for enhanced breathability and a supportive fit, while the outsole rubber supplies a blend of durability, traction and tread catered to those who slide on the gritty hard courts.
- Upper: Synthetic material combined with Engineered Mesh providing breathability, and a supportive fit. Midfoot cage helps to lock-in the foot for even more support.
- Midsole: 100% carbon fiber Speedboard supplies energy return and creates a more stable ride. High performance foam for cushioning and tennis specific responsiveness. Sidestep support and extended bottom unit to increase lateral stability.
- Outsole: Outsole pattern is designed to optimize traction, but also allow for sliding on the hard courts when needed.
- Color: White / Blue

Customer Reviews
Not worth itAfter just five matches in two weeks the soles are significantly worn out. I will need to buy another pair of shoes soon. Paying $200 for a shoe that lasts a month or two is ridiculous. Don’t waste you money.
Too tight and painfulThese are very snug. They do feel durable, but almost with too much durability to the point where there is no flexibility. I have played tennis for 10 years and have always stuck with the Nike Vapor line, but decided to give these a try because of their style and popularity. Warming up is okay but once I have to move more and compete in tournaments, my feet are aching so bad I have to take them off during my breaks. The plastic decoration on the pinky area has no forgiveness on my toes when it comes to lateral movements.
Good Looks; Lacks Any Comfort; OVERPRICEDBought a pair of these on spec, EVEN AFTER reading the reviews on lack of sole cushioning and comfort. They are NOT a $200 pair of tennis shoes; they ARE an overpriced street shoe, which is how I will use them... but only AFTER putting in a pair of orthopedic insoles for better comfort. Play tennis in these? Nope!
Not comfortableToo stiff, no cushion, not responsive!
Could be expensive and goodCould be expensive and good, but there are expensive and not good. They don't live up to the performance expectations—especially at this price point.
I purchased them for my son, a junior pro player, as an alternative to the Yonex Eclipsion shoes he’s been wearing consistently for the past two years. While these shoes are undeniably eye-catching and made with high-quality materials, their performance was disappointing.
On court, they felt clunky, overly stiff, and restrictive. They’re quite heavy and make lateral movement and forward running difficult due to their lack of flexibility. The carbon plate seems excessively rigid, preventing natural foot movement.
Despite giving them a fair chance, my son ultimately refused to wear them—they simply didn’t improve with time or break in.
These shoes might work better for recreational players who prioritize looks over performance, but they’re not ideal for serious competitive play.
Roger ProThe Roger Pro is a very wide shoe so either buy half a size down in men's, or buy a size to a size and a half up in women's. I chose to go a size and a half size up in women's and it fits perfect. I have narrow feet, so it fit better. The performance is phenomenal! Great performance does come with a sacrifice and that is comfort. It is hard on the feet. Know what you're looking for. If you want peak performance, the stiffness actually gives you a high energy return and will make you feel quicker. If you want more comfort, opt for the Roger Pro 2.

No durability, lack of cushion in sole.Comfortable shoes compared to ASICS and adidas but the durability is one of the worst for the bottom. The marks were easily worn out, which was very sad to see when I don’t even slide. For a $200 pair of shoes, this wasn’t what I would expect. Hope they improve this right away.
Good support, lacks comfort, too expensiveLow to ground feel with good support. But for me, this show lacks the cushioning to make it through an hour on the hard courts without foot soreness. At $199 the cost-benefit ratio is poor.
Wore through in less than three monthsThese are easily the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. However, they completely wore through in a little over two months. Considering this along with the price point, I won't be purchasing them again. If ON addressed this, I'd possibly reconsider.
Great look, but wear thick socks...I like these shoes and have been using them exclusively on indoor hard courts.
Pros: They look great and they provide very solid support via the upper and paving system. I find them very responsive and I move around the court well.
Cons: They sometimes hurt the balls of my feet. They start to get sore 30 minutes in and by 45 I can’t wait to get these off. I started to wear an extra cushioned sock and that has helped but I wish I would have gone a half size up.
I’ll wear these out but wouldn’t recommend or purchase again.
