Just like that, the U.S. Open is upon us, which means that tri-state area preps and tennis enthusiasts alike are scrambling to put together the ultimate Grand Slam ensemble.
Lucky for them, Del Toro has just re-released their neon felt, tennis ball-inspired shoe collection! Like, forget going balls to the wall, these pieces are literally balls to the feet.
For the classic sporty sophisticate, there's their Slipper style (available in men's and women's) which features custom rubber soles from their Milano Loafer and a leather lined interior.
For the hip court kid, there's their Chukka style (available in men's and women's) which features cotton laces and a mid profile height.
Obviously, these limited edition shoes are amazing, both for kicking it around Arthur Ashe Stadium and for all of your après tennis activities.
Each of the styles will run you $425 with 25% of the proceeds going to The Andy Roddick Foundation.
Just consider yourself warned - if you've a pup at home, these shoes should be kept on the highest of high shelves before you find them ripped apart.
