The prince has new shoes

USA Today (Society for the Advancement of Education), July, 2005

If it can be boiled down to just one thing, agility is the ability most needed to play tennis or, to put it more precisely, play tennis well. So, our ears naturally perked up plenty when we got wind of the new T10 shoe from Prince Sports, Inc., Bordentown, N.J., part of the much heralded Agility Series of equipment. Having recently acquired Prince's [O.sup.3] racquet--which has ensured our being the envy of the local courts--we knew the T10 would only enhance our reputation for being the best-equipped player in the community. Moreover, what good is a top-flight racquet if you can't chase down the ball?

For Prince, it's all about the technology. The T10 is crafted with the latest in footwear engineering to provide enhanced support and comfort. The adjustable 4Foot Wrap provides a glovelike fit specifically designed to lock the foot in place and prevent it from sliding forward on quick stops. The T10 has a molded midsole with forefoot and heel inserts for superior shock dispersion and impact absorption. The forefoot insert disperses shock under the ball of the foot and the ShockEraser absorbs heel impact. Optimum lateral and medial stability is provided with the use of the wYishbone TPU molded shank. The air mesh upper of the T10 is constructed with a lightweight, durable synthetic leather, creating a ventilation system to keep feet cool and comfortable. The molded polyurethane sockliner provides long-lasting cushioning and support for maximum comfort during play.

In other words, the T10 ($100) is the perfect shoe for players who desire optimal speed and agility on the court. Besides, its sharp red, gray, and black highlights match the hues of the [O.sup.3] racquet. If you're going to play well, you might as well look good doing it.
