His streak of 65 consecutive Grand Slam appearances was snapped at the French Open last month, but Roger Federer will return to a major next week when he plays Wimbledon for the 18th time.

And he’ll arrive at the All England Club in style, as he always does.

On Wednesday, the 17-time Grand Slam champion unveiled some fashionable shoes and apparel that he co-designed with NikeCourt.

“I want the fans to have something they can wear every day, almost everywhere they go,” the Swiss said in a release. “It really is about being able to wear it in the street and feel like this isn’t just another sportswear piece. It needs to be a bit something more, but at the same time, feel like it’s rooted in tennis.”

Federer is as dedicated as they come, both on the court and in his outside endeavors. According to Vogue, the 34-year-old traveled to Nike’s headquarters in Portland, Oregon to further develop the products with the company’s design team.

“It’s still a bit of a beginning for me, trying to completely understand how we go about it,” Federer said. “There is such a wonderful team, and unbelievable, creative minds out there. They’re really helping me to get it right.”

Federer has a special bond with the brand, as he’s only worn Nike on court since turning pro back in 1998.

Federer, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, will be seeded third at the Championships behind No. 1 Novak Djokovic and No. 2 Andy Murray.
