wow nice blog and i thing i am the biggest lover of the tennis because personally i would like to be a tennis player but due to some personal reason i couldn't make it possible any how the tennis players must wear the k swiss trainers because by wearing such stuff they feel more comfortable and in return the performance will increase...
so thanks for sharing such a nice stuff
