ASICS, a renowned sports equipment company, recently gifted Novak Djokovic an exclusive pair of personalized shoes. This was to honour the Serb on achieving the historic world no.1 feat.

ASICS tennis shared a video on twitter of Nole unboxing his gift. The world no.1 described his gift as ‘A thing of beauty’.

On their twitter handle, they wrote: “A special #COURTFFNOVAK shoe for a special occasion for your 311 week milestone – congratulations @Djokernole! Every time you step on the court we hope you feel our support on your feet! #ASICSTennis“

Novak Djokovic had previously stated that after claiming the historic world number one ranking, he would focus his entire attention to winning more grand slams.

The Serbian is engaged in the ‘GOAT Race’ with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, and the race to win most majors is wide open with the Serb just 2 behind Roger and Rafa.

The Serbian will probably have his last shot at an Olympic Singles Gold Medal at Tokyo 2021, given the fact that he turns 35 this year. He will aim to replicate his rival, Rafael Nadal and complete his Career Golden Slam, by winning a much-awaited Singles Gold at Tokyo.

Djokovic is set to compete at the Miami Open next.
