When the Golden Boy of the Nike brand comes to Tokyo to attend the unveiling of a new shoe, he gets treated with exceptional service. Roger Federer visited Japan's capital city to go to an event that showcased the new Nike Zoom Vapor RF X Air Jordan 3 Atmos. It's a mouthful, but the Grand Slam champion received them in a rather unusual way—via vault.

This is only the second time that Federer has visited Tokyo, after winning the Japan Open in 2006. He will be practicing in Shanghai for that Masters event after skipping it last year due to injury.

The pit stop was all good fun, but now it's back to work for the Swiss. He has arrived in Shanghai for next week's ATP Masters 1000.
