Photo Via 80’s-Tennis/Tennismagzin
If your like me you wonder what famous athletes were wearing BEFORE they landed their big endorsement deal. Well, today we look at Michael Chang. In the late 80’s and early 90’s friends and I (and their family) would be glued to the television every time a Chang match was on (no cable for us). Watching him play we all knew/know Michael for his endorsement deal with Reebok and the fuzzy Tennis ball pump shoe (Court Victory Pump) he helped make famous. However, in the early 80’s Michael Chang was sporting non other than FILA. Decked out in the once Italian brands tennis gear, he looked nothing short of a mini Bjorn Borg. What kicks was he sporting? I’d bet they were Diadora but unfortunately there is no ground shot for this photo. Shout out to 80s-tennis.com for this rare pic. Check it out above and check out the best of Michael Chang below!
