Leylah Fernandez Wearing On’s The Roger Pro Shoes

Leylah Fernandez has been wearing On ON Roger Pro shoes, the same shoes Roger Federer wears. She is the first tennis player other than Federer to wear On shoes.

Leylah Fernandez recently signed a sponsorship clothing sponsorship contract with Lululemon. Before that, she had a clothing and shoe sponsorship contract with Asics. Since her Asics contract ended, Fernandez was looking to move to another shoe brand.
