Roger Federer is officially back on top of the ATP rankings, surpassing Andre Agassi as the oldest player ever to claim the No. 1 spot at 36 years old.
To celebrate the occasion, Nike gifted the tennis star a pair of Air Force 1 Lows. The shoes were made exclusively for Federer, according to Brandon Richard of Sole Collector.
Dubbed "Federer Forever," the shoes have "RF1" embroidered on the heel to symbolize his No. 1 ranking.
The shoes came packaged in a custom wooden box touting Federer's record 302 weeks and counting at No. 1. The phrase "Betterer With Age" is etched on the side of the box.
