Serena Williams’ shoes have custom US Open hearts

By Larry Brown September 6, 2013 - Posted in Fashion, Tennis^{[1] [2]}

Nike created some customized shoes for Serena Williams to wear at this year’s US Open. The shoes have four hearts on the side to note the times Williams won the grand slam event, and each heart has the year she won the tournament etched into it — 1999, 2002, 2008, and 2012.

Williams looks like she’ll claim her fifth US Open and 17th major title with the way she’s been rolling.

This actually is something pretty common for Nike to do for its top tennis players. Two years ago, Roger Federer had special Australian Open shoes^[3] that had Swiss flags on them.
