Getting kicks at the U.S. Open is a colorful pastime this year. Retiring Andy Roddick wore shoes that appeared to be wrapped in the American flag and the Babolat Propulse 3 Stars & Stripes are flying off the shelves. He wore them for the Olympics. See a couple styles from $109 to $124 right here.
Retiring Roddick isn’t the only colorfully sneakered player. Switzerland’s Stanislaus Wawrinka sports the baby blues below. Spain’s Nicolas Almagro favors bright orange kicks. The greenery belongs to Marinko Matosevic and the red jobbies adorn the feet of American Bethanie Mattek- Sands.
I have been known to wear very colorful shoes myself. Mine are on the order of Marinko’s, but mine are bright green – -tennis ball green, and I have a shirt to match!
