Rafael Nadal’s 2022 Australian Open Custom Match Issued Nike Shoes

Offered here are  Rafael Nadal’s custom Nike match-issued shoes, specially made for him for the 2022 Australian Open — a tournament that delivered one of the most unforgettable comebacks in tennis history.

In Melbourne that year, Nadal defied all odds, rallying from two sets down in the final against Daniil Medvedev to capture his 21st Grand Slam title, surpassing both Federer and Djokovic to stand alone atop the all-time leaderboard. These shoes were designed by Nike specifically for Nadal's use during this iconic run, tailored to his specifications and showcasing unique visual elements never released at retail.

The shoes feature Rafa’s personalized logo and name, along with signature touches exclusive to his player-issued pairs. One of the most striking details is the flaming tennis ball motif, marked with “’09” — symbolizing Nadal’s only previous Australian Open victory.
