Ex-Wimbledon champion’s face is on 50m pairs of trainers in one of the most lucrative deals ever

Discussing why it’s had such a reach from Paris to Tokyo, Smith tried to explain: “It’s very comfortable. It's very plain. There are no bells and whistles. Well, they’ve added some bells and whistles over the years.

“You can wear it with almost anything and it's a pretty good price point too. It gets better with time, some people love to wear them worn, but also some people like to wear theirs crispy. Yeah. crisp and clean.Credit: GettyA number of special editions featuring global superstars have followed“One thing I love to see is a mother and daughter wearing a pair.

“I still wear them every day. I see it as this global style. It’s huge in Japan. I once had a guy come up to me there and say he’d worn my shoe every day for the last 20 years! “I’ve mentioned Paris already, right? I think they see it as a French style because of the Haillet. They still won’t let me wear them in the Royal Box at Wimbledon, though!”, Smith earned well from his 17-year tennis career and made £1.36million in earnings, but it's a number not even comparable to his shoe royalties.

With more than 50 million pairs now sold worldwide, going clubbing in Paris turned out to be one of the best decisions he has ever made.
