Adidas
Nike, Adidas, and other brands have all sponsored Djokovic at some point in his career. He has had numerous signature shoes with Adidas, including the Barricade line. Djokovic currently wears the Adidas Adizero Ubersonic 3.
Asics
Djokovic wore Asics from 2003 until 2011. He wore the Gel Resolution 6 shoe model during most of that time. In 2010, he also briefly wore the Gel Ace shoe model. In 2011, he switched to the Nike brand and has worn Nike shoes ever since.
Djokovic’s Current Shoe
Djokovic currently wears the Adidas Adizero Primeknit 2.0 shoes. He has been an Adidas athlete since 2005. The Adizero Primeknit 2.0 shoes are designed to provide optimal traction and comfort. They are also very light, weighing in at only 9.8 ounces.
Nike
Djokovic has been with Nike since the start of his professional career in 2003. He has had several different sponsorships with the company over the years, but he is currently signed to a 10-year, $200 million deal that will keep him with Nike until 2023. Djokovic’s current shoe deal is the most lucrative in Nike’s history.
Why Djokovic Switched to Nike
Djokovic used to wear Adidas shoes but he switched to Nike in 2017. Some say that the switch was due to money, but Djokovic has said that it was because Nike shoes are better quality. Nike shoes are also lighter and they provide more support, which is important for Djokovic because he has had problems with his feet in the past.
Better Quality
Djokovic switched to Nike in order to improve his on-court performance. Djokovic had been with Adidas for many years, but he felt that Nike could provide him with better quality products. In an interview, Djokovic said “Adidas has been my family for many years, but I feel that now is the time to move on and try something new. I’m very excited to be joining the Nike family and to be able to wear their shoes and clothing on court. I think they will help me perform at my best.”
More Comfortable
Nike shoes are more comfortable than the Adidas shoes Djokovic had been wearing, and they help Djokovic avoid blisters, a common problem for tennis players.
More Supportive
Djokovic had been with Adidas since he was 11 years old, but in 2008, he switched to Nike. He has said that the switch was due to the fact that he felt Nike provided more support, both financially and emotionally. Djokovic has had great success with Nike, winning 12 Grand Slam singles titles while wearing their shoes.
