Asics Court FF
Asics tennis shoe built for hard-court sliding and sharp changes of direction
A tennis-specific shoe with a stiff supportive upper and an outsole cut for lateral movement. Asics sells a Court FF NOVAK version that carries Djokovic's name. Tennis shoes wear out far faster than running shoes, and hard-court players go through several pairs a season. Fit and the shape of the toe box matter more here than any marketed technology.

Tennis.com says he keeps competing in the Court FF NOVAK, and that at the 2024 Australian Open the shoes carried 24 on the heel for his major titles. In a 2022 Forbes interview the piece quotes, he compared switching from his previous shoe sponsor to Asics with moving from a commercial car to a sports car, citing flexibility, quicker direction changes and better sliding.
