How to make a tennis shoe

We spoke to Simon Brenneis, Footwear Business Manager at HEAD Austria who shared some fascinating insights into what it takes to make a great tennis shoe. ‘It’s very different to a running shoe. In tennis, you move your body in a particular way. There is a lot of lateral movement, shifting left to right and vice-versa. There is also forward and backward movement and sliding. To provide secure footwear for these specific movements we include them in the design, right from the get-go.’
