Stream Deck Studio goes overboard with 32 customizable LCD keys for broadcasters

Posted on by

The very first Stream Decks were, as the name implied, made for streamers, content creators who thrived on live Internet video platforms like Twitch and YouTube. Over time, the device spread to more creative professionals who use the programmable buttons to make their workflows less cumbersome. That said, these tools benefited people working in mostly digital environments, such as those using computers. Realizing that even traditional broadcasting workflows could use an upgrade, a new kind of Stream Deck was made, one that had a ridiculous number of LCD buttons to customize, not to mention a stackable design to double or triple that number if it weren’t enough.

Designer: Elgato

The idea behind the Stream Deck and its kind is pretty simple. Rather than a sequence of keystrokes that are hard to remember across different apps and services, it offered buttons that could be mapped to almost any function. Even better, those buttons are actually LCD keys, so they can have dynamic icons that identify their purpose and change depending on the app in use.

That kind of flexibility is critical in a smooth and fast digital workflow, whether it’s changing settings on a live stream, stitching up videos, or changing digital brushes. Traditional broadcasting also has use for so many controls, but those buttons and dials are often fixed and permanent. The Stream Deck Studio brings the flexibility of Elgato’s mainstream devices to this professional setting where speed is of the essence.

Unlike the boxy Stream Decks, the Studio is a long 19-inch bar with two rows of 16 keys flanked by a dial on each end. This is the largest Stream Deck product to date and is obviously not meant for regular desktop use. The shape of the device, however, fits perfectly with broadcast studio racks. In fact, you can also stack and connect two or three of them, for a whopping 96 buttons and six dials.

Like any other Stream Deck product, the keys and dials are programmable, but there’s a slight catch this time. The Studio was developed together with Bitfocus, whose Companion software is already a popular alternative to Stream Deck’s own app, with tweaks for broadcast media. The new Buttons software was made specifically for the Stream Deck studio, though it requires a recurring subscription. Then again, the $900 price tag makes the Stream Deck Studio a no-go for individual creators anyway, but offers studios and other companies the same kind of flexibility and power that the Stream Deck offers, except on a larger scale.

Waterdrop ED01’s Portable Electric Filter Pitcher gives you Pure Drinking Water in Under 1 Second

Posted on by

You fill a glass from the tap, the water looks clear enough, and you take a sip without thinking twice. But do you really know what’s in that water? Hidden beneath its transparency are impurities you can’t always see—chemicals, metals, microorganisms, etc. We assume the tap is fine because it’s what we’ve always done. But why settle for “good enough” when you could have water that’s visibly, undeniably clean? That’s the idea behind Waterdrop’s ED01 Electric Water Filter Pitcher. It’s not just about filtration; it’s about transparency—literally. The water-purifying pitcher itself is crystal clear, so you see exactly what you’re pouring into your glass. No more guessing, no more second thoughts. And the best part? Being able to carry your ED01 around from room to room instead of having to walk to the kitchen or your wall-mounted purifier every single time you need a glass of water. Whether you’re working at your desk, lounging on the couch, or prepping a meal, this sleek pitcher follows you, offering fresh, purified water wherever you need it. Clean water, on your terms.

The Waterdrop ED01 is a remarkably portable water filter pitcher, designed to give you clear water wherever you go. The pitcher itself holds 3.5 liters (or 15 glasses worth) of water in it at any given point in time, with a one-touch dispenser that automatically filters and dispenses water directly into your bottle or glass. At 10.2 inches in height, it’s compact enough to even slide right into your fridge, giving you the added advantage of crisp, chilled drinking water at the push of a button.

Even though its transparent design is arguably its most eye-catching feature, the real beauty of the Waterdrop ED01 is what you don’t see—the advanced filtration happening behind the scenes. Sure, we all want clean water, but most of us don’t give a second thought to what’s actually in that water. With a single-button dispensing system, this pitcher does the heavy lifting of purifying for you on demand, removing bacteria, heavy metals, chemicals, and other contaminants you don’t want in your body. And it does so instantly, meaning you’re not just getting water that’s filtered—you’re getting water that’s as fresh as it can possibly be. Compare that to traditional gravity-fed systems, where the water can sit around for hours, potentially growing germs or losing its crisp taste.

Waterdrop’s electric filter pitchers provide instant filtration too, at a stunning 0.8 liters a minute compared to gravity water filters that take nearly 4x as long. All you do is hit the water drop icon on top and the ED01 gets to work. Water passes through a 5-micrometer filter that traps and removes over 30 harmful contaminants like chlorine, PFOA/PFOS, lead, benzene, mercury, while even trapping molecules that give some types of water a bad odor or taste. It doesn’t reduce the water’s TDS count, which you may want to take care of if you’ve got high-TDS tap water in your neighborhood – that’s where RO filtration systems are required, although RO systems are traditionally a lot bigger and bulkier than the ED01’s sleek water filter design.

The cartridge-based filters are easy to install and even swap out. Sort of like installing a big battery, the cylindrical filter cartridges slide in and slide out, making replacement a breeze. Each cartridge is good for up to 200 gallons of water or 1600 bottles, lasting anywhere between 4-6 months based on your water consumption. The ED01’s built-in battery has a 30-day life too, so you only ever need to recharge the thing once a month.

The ED01’s portable design and built-in handle mean you can carry your water purifier around with you – reducing your dependency on single-use water bottles. Whether you’re at home, at work, or out in nature, the ED01 has your drinking water needs sorted. Going on a camping trip? No need to haul around a bunch of bottled water when you can just bring the ED01 along and get fresh, filtered water from any available source. Living in a small apartment? The compact size won’t take up much counter space, and the clean, minimalist design ensures it won’t clash with your décor. The minimal, all-clear design adapts to your decor, and the compact form factor to your lifestyle, offering you the flexibility and freedom to get clean water wherever you are. You don’t realize how much you rely on something as simple as good, clean water until you have a product that makes it this easy to access.

2024 Ghost Series II and Black Badge: The Most Driver-Focused Rolls-Royce Yet

Posted on by

Since its inception in 2009, the Rolls-Royce Ghost has been a defining force in the brand’s evolution, reshaping how modern generations experience luxury. With the unveiling of the Ghost Series II, this legacy continues, blending bespoke craftsmanship with a driver-centric focus that speaks directly to a contemporary audience. Chris Brownridge, Chief Executive of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, said, “Ghost is renowned as a uniquely expressive, agile, and self-assured representation of the Rolls-Royce brand. At our clients’ request, this new Series II iteration remains faithful to these principles, incorporating a potent and uncompromising engine and the essential potential for Bespoke.” This iteration brings meaningful exterior and material updates, making an even more expressive and impactful statement. The transition from the Phantom VII to new icons like Wraith, Dawn, and Ghost has redefined Rolls-Royce as an approachable, dynamic brand.

Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II

Designer: Rolls-Royce

The 2024 Ghost Series II marks an important chapter in this journey, merging cutting-edge design with the craftsmanship that Rolls-Royce is known for. Juliane Blasi, Head of Exterior Design at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, commented, “Ghost Series II represents the fundamental tenets of Rolls-Royce—serenity, effortlessness, and elegance—distilled into an expressive, monolithic form. Our clients asked for a design that would provide a stage for their Bespoke color and material choices, whether quiet and restrained or bold and expressive.” This evolution brings new elements that enhance the consumer experience, such as advanced materials, innovative technologies, and an elevated focus on driver engagement, making it luxurious and uniquely attuned to modern demands. Today’s Rolls-Royce clientele—averaging just 43 years old—are younger, more dynamic, and more likely to get behind the wheel themselves.

Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost Series II

This shift has influenced the design and features of the Ghost Series II, making it more driver-focused, with an emphasis on performance enhancements and modern technology that appeal to a younger, more hands-on audience. Models like the Ghost have struck a balance between luxury and performance through features such as the advanced Planar Suspension System for a smooth ride, the powerful 6.75-liter V12 engine, and cutting-edge technology like the SPIRIT operating system, which offers seamless connectivity and driver engagement. The Ghost was a precursor to the Black Badge collection, embodying individuality and self-expression. The Black Badge collection adds a rebellious dimension to the Rolls-Royce brand, appealing to a younger audience who value performance and exclusivity while still maintaining the luxury and craftsmanship that Rolls-Royce is known for.

Rolls-Royce Ghost Series II

Sculpted Sophistication

The Ghost Series II embodies a subtle yet impactful evolution in its design, incorporating features like the newly designed lower grille geometry and distinct darkened chrome treatment. The lower grille now features darkened chrome strips running longitudinally to functional air ducts, surrounded by technical black chrome frames, adding verticality and solidity to the Pantheon Grille. The newly illuminated Pantheon grille and refined headlight graphics project a modern sense of elegance, while the redesigned taillights, inspired by the Spectre, emphasize a forward-thinking aesthetic. For those who opt for the Black Badge Ghost, these updates take on a more assertive character, with darkened chrome accents and a unique lower grille treatment that amplifies its commanding presence.

The Black Badge Ghost Series II pushes this assertiveness further with exclusive 22-inch forged wheels styled to project the mechanical complexity of its high-power V12 engine and chassis technology. According to Rolls-Royce, the Black Badge Ghost Series II’s wheel treatment is a defining aspect of its character, styled to project both the potency of its V12 engine and the dynamic abilities of its advanced chassis technology. The slender spoke geometry of the wheels provides a clear view of the powerful disc brakes, signaling the car’s dynamic capabilities. It isn’t just a darker palette; it’s an expression of distinct individuality. The lowered, sculpted profile speaks to those who desire an imposing yet refined presence on the road.

The wheels are a visual masterpiece, with a geometric design that merges technical precision with an artistic touch. These 22-inch forged wheels, part-polished to create a dynamic contrast, are complemented by striking yellow brake calipers, highlighting the Ghost’s performance pedigree. This visual interplay between luxury and aggression elevates the Black Badge variant, making a statement that goes beyond mere aesthetics.

The Spirit of Ecstasy clock cabinet, now presented in black chrome rather than a mirror-polished finish, along with the illuminated fascia, adds a harmonious visual touch, elevating the overall ambiance without overwhelming. This subtle yet contemporary touch enhances the alter-ego aspect of the Black Badge lineup.

The seats, upholstered in a vibrant yellow leather, create an arresting contrast that embodies the rebellious spirit of the Black Badge lineup. The intricate detailing on the leather, including the bespoke embroidery on the headrests, exemplifies Rolls-Royce’s dedication to craftsmanship. The use of meticulously crafted Technical Carbon finishes, featuring a complex diamond-shaped weave of carbon and metallic fibers and darkened metals throughout the cabin, introduces a sporty yet sophisticated feel. The starry illumination across the fascia adds an ethereal touch, rewarding those who appreciate intricate craftsmanship.

Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost Series II

In the Black Badge Ghost Series II, the cabin is transformed with Technical Carbon finishes and darkened metals, perfectly complementing its enhanced performance. This isn’t just luxury—a sanctuary reflecting the car’s heightened power. The Black Badge’s V12 engine, presented in a high-power configuration, offers 29 more horsepower and 37 more lb-ft of torque than the standard model, inviting those who enjoy the thrill of driving to experience its full potential. Chris Brownridge emphasized, “This new generation of Ghost also has extraordinary handling capabilities based on several advanced chassis innovations, securing Ghost Series II’s status as the most technologically advanced and driver-focused V12 Rolls-Royce ever created—a side of Ghost’s character that our clients increasingly and enthusiastically embrace.” The ‘Low’ button on the gear selection stalk unlocks a 50% increase in gearshift speeds when the throttle is pushed to 90%, coupled with a more pronounced exhaust note—enhancing the dynamic driving experience without compromising Rolls-Royce’s signature smoothness. The “Low” button is a subtle yet powerful feature, unleashing a more pronounced exhaust note and delivering a more engaging drive.

Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost Series II

Refined Performance

The Ghost Series II retains its iconic 6.75-liter V12 engine, yet its ride quality is refined further with an enhanced Planar Suspension System, delivering an impeccably smooth journey. The Extended version adds additional rear space with Serenity Seating, ensuring that every passenger enjoys the same level of luxury. The Black Badge variant distinguishes itself with sharper suspension tuning. It utilizes the Black Badge Planar Suspension System, which includes a unique Upper Wishbone Damper and continuously variable, electronically controlled shock absorbers. The braking system has also been upgraded with a raised bite point and decreased pedal travel, directly responding to client requests for a more potent expression of the Rolls-Royce brand, intensifying the driver-focused experience.

Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost Series II

From aesthetic enhancements to mechanical innovations, the Black Badge Ghost Series II tells a story of bespoke luxury and unapologetic individuality. Rolls-Royce once again fuses tradition with modernity, affirming the Ghost as a benchmark in contemporary luxury.

This portable toothbrush sanitizer keeps bristles super dry and sterile for complete oral care

Posted on by

Toothbrush is a holy grail personal care accessory we all need to keep our teeth clean because it’s the first thing in the morning and the last one before going to bed we invest our trust in. For all possible reasons, this product needs to be 100 percent hygienic and clean for oral health. After all your mouth is one of the easiest entryways for harmful pathogens to infect your body.

Thus, it is imperative to invest in a toothbrush sanitizer to maintain oral hygiene as well as prevent any unwanted health hazards. Monsoons can be a hindrance in this motive due to unwanted buildups, and excess humidity which can be breeding ground for pathogens in the brush’s bristles. That’s where this portable toothbrush sanitizer excels compared to other advanced products in the market touting premium oral hygiene.

Designer: Biu Biu

Designed with the motive to give you complete peace of mind while traveling or at home, the Clea toothbrush sanitizer is aesthetically pleasing too. The HG accessory comes with a two-part housing that has a UV sanitizer on one half and a turbofan on the other. The latter keeps the bristles dry at all times, thereby enhancing the anti-bacterial effect. It is also equipped with a smart reminder when it’s time to change the toothbrush based on the longevity of use and the amount of biological buildup.

Clea Toothbrush sanitizer leaves nothing to chance as it displays the level of sanitization and amount of moisture in your brush. Being completely portable makes it ultra-hygienic on travel trips where you can lose track of where your toothbrush is resting in the backpack or on the shelves of your Airbnb. Although it is only a concept for now, materializing it as a real-life product doesn’t seem like a herculean task. So, expect to see the Clea Toothbrush Steriliser elevate your oral health in the near future.

EDITOR'S QUOTE:

This TV turns your living room into an art gallery, transforming entertainment into a visual masterpiece.
award-icon

Designer: Hisense

 

A Sunroom Makeover

Our journey began in our sunroom, a bright and airy space with an entire wall of windows that flood the room with natural light. For too long, this beautiful room was overshadowed—literally—by an outdated, bulky 85″ VIZIO TV that felt more like an eyesore than a centerpiece. It was high time for a change.

Swapping it out for the sleek 65″ Hisense CanvasTV was like lifting a veil. The room instantly felt more spacious and inviting. The TV’s slim profile and minimalist design complemented the room rather than competing with it. It wasn’t just about replacing a piece of hardware; it was about transforming the atmosphere of our home.

Art Mode: More Than Just a Screen

One of the features that drew us to CanvasTV is its Art Mode. Instead of staring at a blank, lifeless screen when the TV is off, we’re now greeted by a rotating gallery of stunning artworks or our own cherished photos. Setting it up was a breeze—intuitive controls let us switch between various curated collections or upload our own images without any hassle.

What impressed us most is that the TV comes pre-loaded with over 120 free art pieces across multiple categories, such as landscapes, still life, and modern art—no subscription fees required. This thoughtful feature transforms the TV from a mere electronic device into an artistic statement that enhances the ambiance of any room.

Design That Speaks Volumes

The CanvasTV doesn’t just display art; it is art. Hisense has clearly put thought into every aspect of its design. The TV features a slim bezel that focuses on the content, not the frame. It comes standard with a teak frame, but thanks to its magnetic design, you can easily swap it out to match your décor or mood. We love the light wood tones, which perfectly complement our sunroom’s natural aesthetic.

One of my favorite moments was seeing Claude Monet’s “Water Lilies” displayed on the screen. The soft blues, greens, and pinks seemed to come alive against the backdrop of our vibrant blue walls. This created a mesmerizing interplay of color that transformed the space and added a sense of tranquility and elegance.

Beneath the TV, we placed a natural wood console that echoes the frame’s light wood tones. The simplicity of its design, with clean lines and earthy textures, ties the whole look together. The result is a harmonious blend that feels more like a curated art installation than just a TV setup.

Versatility with the 55″ Model

While the 65″ CanvasTV found its permanent home in the sunroom, we decided to get adventurous with the 55″ model. Instead of mounting it, we opted for the mobile stand—a decision that has added a whole new layer of versatility to our home entertainment.

The mobile stand is a game-changer. Its clever design includes an integrated power outlet, reducing cable clutter and making it incredibly easy to move the TV from room to room. Need a screen in the kitchen for following a new recipe? Roll it in. Hosting friends in the dining room and want to display a slideshow of memories? Easy. Cozy movie night in the bedroom? Done.

All the necessary ports—power, HDMI, and USB—are neatly integrated into the back of the TV. There’s no need for external boxes or messy cables, keeping the setup clean and elegant.

For families, this flexibility is a huge plus. Imagine being able to wheel the TV into the kids’ room for a special movie night or setting up an impromptu gaming session in any part of the house. It’s the convenience of a portable entertainment center without sacrificing style or quality.

Ergonomic Design and User Experience

The CanvasTV is designed with the user in mind. Wall mounting the 65″ model was straightforward, thanks to its lightweight build and slim profile. It sits flush against the wall, enhancing that art gallery feel.

The remote control continues the minimalist theme. With its brushed metal finish, it feels substantial yet sleek in hand. The button layout is intuitive—quick-access buttons for popular streaming services like Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, and Disney+ are right at your fingertips. The inclusion of voice control via Google Assistant adds an extra layer of convenience. We can navigate content, adjust settings, or even control other smart devices in our home with simple voice commands.

Performance: A Visual and Auditory Delight

Now, let’s talk about performance. The CanvasTV might not feature Mini-LED backlighting—a technology known for delivering deep blacks and high contrast—but it makes up for it in other ways. The matte display is amazing, especially in a room like ours where the entire back wall is glass and the sunrise shines directly into the space. The CanvasTV’s matte screen does a fantastic job, offering more than adequate brightness, even under direct sunlight.

The matte display quite literally ‘eats up’ and swallows any shadow thrown at it—making the artwork look like real art instead of something viewed through a monitor. Add in the Quantum Dot (QLED) technology, and the colors are vibrant and true to life, enhancing everything from movies to artwork.

With a refresh rate of up to 144Hz, the TV handles fast-paced action scenes and gaming without breaking a sweat. We connected our gaming console, and the experience was smooth and immersive. The visuals were crisp, with no noticeable lag or motion blur.

The audio doesn’t disappoint, either. With Dolby Atmos support, the built-in speakers deliver sound that fills the room. Dialogue is clear, music is rich, and the overall audio experience complements the high-quality visuals. While audiophiles might prefer an external sound system, we found the integrated speakers to be more than sufficient for our needs.

Navigating the TV’s interface is a breeze, thanks to the VIDAA U operating system. It’s clean, responsive, and doesn’t bog you down with unnecessary clutter. Integration with Google TV means easy access to all our favorite streaming services, including Dish Anywhere. If you’ve ever dealt with Dish Network, you know the hassle—wiring, coaxial cables, and setting up a box. With CanvasTV, it’s as simple as installing the Dish Anywhere app, and you’re good to go. The 55″ model on a mobile stand makes this even more convenient—art and entertainment on wheels, ready to roll into any room. Plus, support for Apple HomeKit and AirPlay 2 ensures seamless connectivity with our Apple devices.

Connecting my laptop and extending the use of CanvasTV as a second or third monitor makes life easier for meetings, streaming shows, and those long Zoom calls.

Sustainability Matters

Being eco-conscious is more important than ever, and we’re pleased to see that Hisense shares this value. The CanvasTV uses responsibly sourced wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), ensuring that materials meet high environmental and social standards.

Energy efficiency is another highlight. The TV includes advanced power management features to minimize energy consumption during use and standby. It meets or exceeds international energy efficiency standards, which not only reduces our carbon footprint but also helps lower our electricity bill.

Even the packaging reflects Hisense’s commitment to sustainability. They use recyclable materials and minimize the use of plastics, reducing waste without compromising product protection during shipping.

Value That Hits the Sweet Spot

One of the most compelling aspects of CanvasTV is its value proposition. The current price for the 55″ CanvasTV at Best Buy is $850, making it an appealing entry point for those looking to bring this blend of technology and art into their homes without breaking the bank.

The TV’s compatibility with various smart home ecosystems—Google Voice, Google TV, Apple HomeKit, and AirPlay 2—makes it convenient for users across different platforms. The thoughtful design extends to every aspect of the user experience, highlighting Hisense’s focus on usability.

ROLI Airwave Uses AI and Gesture Control to Transform Music Learning and Production

Posted on by

Think of if a Piano, a Theremin, and ChatGPT had a baby.

I distinctly remember seeing the music video for Greyhound by the Swedish House Mafia (and if you haven’t seen it I recommend you do). The video has the three members of the EDM group standing in an empty space, wearing headsets and controlling virtual objects that help them play music while also racing robotic greyhounds on salt flats. The music video released 12 years ago, but painted a very different picture of how people would make music in the future – not with instruments, but rather with gestures. Today, the folks at ROLI unveiled the first step to that future in the form of Airwave – an AI-powered device that uses advanced image recognition to not only help you learn to play music, but perform music intuitively using unique gestures.

Known for its revolutionary Seaboard, ROLI broke away from traditional keyboards by enabling musicians to explore the microtonal spaces between notes, opening up a vast universe of expressive possibilities. Now, with the Airwave, ROLI is set to disrupt the industry again—this time, by using AI to transform how people learn to play music.

For decades, aspiring musicians have been limited to traditional learning methods like in-person lessons, online courses, or YouTube tutorials. While each of these has its strengths, they often lack real-time, personalized feedback that adapts to the learner’s unique progress. ROLI’s Airwave, powered by its Music Intelligence (MI) platform, changes this dynamic by acting as a bridge between instrument and instructor. It introduces a new era of “intelligent pianos” that use cutting-edge AI, vision, and voice technologies to offer a truly immersive learning experience.

Designer: ROLI

“Music learning and playing have been far too difficult for too long: intimidating, expensive, and one-size-fits-all,” said Roland Lamb, CEO of ROLI. “With recent advances in computer vision and AI, we are finally able to innovate beyond the keys and bring this human-centric technology to music learners and creators alike.”

The Airwave works by utilizing 3D infrared cameras that, together with ROLI’s new Vision technology, can “see” your hands as they move across the keyboard, capturing intricate finger movements and gestures. This allows the system to offer highly personalized feedback based on precise tracking of your playing technique. Whether you’re a beginner struggling with finger positioning or an advanced player fine-tuning your dynamics, Airwave adjusts its guidance to match your skill level.

At the heart of this breakthrough is ROLI’s MI platform, which incorporates five key sensory technologies—sound, sight, touch, vision, and voice. These allow Airwave to not only track your hand movements but also respond to voice commands. Ask it to show you a chord, suggest a new piece to learn, or even guide you through tricky sections of a song. This transforms the learning process into an interactive, conversational experience that feels less like traditional lessons and more like having a personal music coach at your side.

The magic really comes alive when Airwave is paired with ROLI’s Piano M (formerly known as LUMI Keys). The Piano M’s light-up keys combined with Airwave’s real-time feedback make for a compelling, intuitive learning environment. Players can practice essential elements of piano technique such as posture, hand positioning, rhythm, and harmony, all while getting immediate, adaptive feedback. This system effectively builds better habits and speeds up the learning curve without the need for constant human instruction.

On the creative front, Airwave doesn’t stop at teaching—it’s also a powerful tool for composers and performers. Its gesture-based controls allow musicians to manipulate sound in novel ways. With a simple hand raise or wrist tilt, you can shift from a piano to a symphonic ensemble, blending different tones and effects in real-time. Marco Parisi, a renowned musician and producer, emphasized the revolutionary potential of Airwave: “Every movement and gesture creates a new sound unique to the musician. It will make music much more expressive and could even lead to new genres of music”.

Airwave is now available for pre-order, setting the stage for a new AI-powered era in human-led music technology. Whether you’re a budding musician looking for a smarter way to learn or a seasoned creator in search of fresh expressive possibilities, ROLI’s latest innovation promises to redefine what’s possible with music.

Win Roger Federer’s Rare Wimbledon Shoes—Only 3 Pairs Available for a Limited Time

Posted on by

Tennis fans, lace up and listen in. There’s a rare piece of history up for grabs, and it comes attached to the soles of an exclusive new release. Swiss sportswear innovator On has teamed up with tennis icon Roger Federer to launch the ultimate collector’s item—a pair of tennis shoes infused with a string from Federer’s very own 2005 Wimbledon-winning racket.

Designer: On x Roger Federer

Dubbed “THE ROGER Pro: Strings Attached,” these sneakers represent the pinnacle of Federer’s storied career, and the collaboration reflects On’s drive to make exceptional gear for performance and style. And if you’re wondering just how rare these are, well—only three pairs exist. That’s right, just three. Each comes accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Federer himself, making it one of the most unique collectibles to surface from the world of tennis.

A Unique Opportunity for Tennis Fans Worldwide

For those who have dreamed of stepping into Roger Federer’s shoes, this is the closest you’ll get—quite literally. To celebrate Federer’s incredible achievements, On is giving fans the opportunity to win one of these extremely limited edition pairs. But you’ll have to move fast: there’s a strict deadline of 3.59 pm CET on October 9th to enter the raffle. The winners will be announced during the week of October 14th. And yes, it’s a raffle, which means anyone can have a chance to win—if luck is on their side.

To enter, head to On’s official website and submit your details before the countdown expires. It’s a straightforward way for a chance to own a piece of Federer’s history, and it’s sure to generate a buzz in the tennis community. Federer’s career has always been about grace and precision, and the fact that he’s shared a piece of that history within these shoes makes them nothing short of iconic.

Craftsmanship Meets Legacy

So, what makes these shoes unique? On and Roger Federer has pulled out all the stops to ensure THE ROGER Pro: Strings Attached is an exceptional offering. Let’s take a closer look at the shoe’s features:

  • Real String from the 2005 Winning Racket: What truly sets these sneakers apart is the inclusion of a genuine string taken from Federer’s 2005 Wimbledon-winning racket. It’s an intimate touch that turns each shoe into a narrative of victory.
  • Lightweight Design: At just 407 grams, these shoes are designed to glide across the court, making them ideal for serious tennis players who want speed without sacrificing comfort.
  • Carbon Fiber Speedboard: The 100% carbon fiber Speedboard delivers a boost of energy return with every step, propelling players forward and offering unmatched responsiveness.
  • Specially Designed Tread: The outsole tread has been designed to provide impeccable grip while maintaining enough glide for smooth, efficient footwork on the court.
  • Midfoot Cage for Stability: A midfoot cage gives players extra security, ensuring a snug fit that keeps you locked in even during aggressive side-to-side movements.

And if all that isn’t enough, each pair comes with a certificate signed by Roger himself, giving an additional layer of authenticity and making these shoes even more desirable for collectors.

The Look—A Nod to Federer’s Style

The sneaker itself is an ode to Federer’s classic, understated style. Featuring a predominantly white design with subtle black and red accents, the shoe’s clean lines are reminiscent of Federer’s own approach on the court—elegant, precise, and flawless. The stitching and the lacing system seem to mimic the strings of a racket, creating a visual connection between the sport and the shoe.

The material choice, including a breathable mesh upper and a cushioned heel, strikes a balance between performance and comfort. The red detailing, reminiscent of Federer’s iconic headbands and wristbands, adds just the right amount of flair to an otherwise minimalist aesthetic.

Oh, and if you look closely at Federer’s wrist during the promotional shoot, you’ll spot a familiar glimmer: a Rolex GMT-Master II, affectionately known as the ‘Batman’ due to its striking blue and black bezel. Personally, I would have worn the ‘Pepsi‘ instead—the red on the bezel is more fitting than the blue. It’s a subtle reminder that Federer’s style goes beyond tennis and reaches into timeless luxury.

The Countdown is On

With just 48 hours left to enter, tennis enthusiasts must grab their chance. This is about owning a piece of the Federer legacy, a moment from one of the sport’s most celebrated champions. Whether you’re a seasoned player looking for an edge or simply an admirer of Federer’s incredible journey, this shoe symbolizes an irreplaceable part of tennis history.

If you’re ready to enter the raffle, head to On’s website and put your name in the hat. Who knows, you might just be one of the lucky few to lace up in Federer’s greatness. But hurry—you only have until October 9th to make it happen.
