From this year's draw

What stood out in 2026

While ASICS remains the brand to beat, there were a few interesting signs from this year's Shoe of the Year.

Nike continues to look stronger, with two shoes reaching the semi-finals this year. It feels like the brand is slowly building momentum again and finding its way back towards the glory days of the Federer Vapor era.

The ASICS Gel Challenger 15 was one of the surprises of the draw, while On continues to get stronger every year.

On's investment in tennis, and particularly the players they work with looks to be paying off.
