During his US Open quarterfinal match against Alexander Zverev, Carlos Alcaraz wore a pair of Nike's Mac Attack sneakers, which were initially designed for Jon McEnroe and the Spaniard gained the legend's approval.
Alcaraz defeated Zverev in straight sets to once again reach the semifinals at Flushing Meadows, and was seen donning the famous pair of sneakers during his post-match interview with Patrick McEnroe, John's brother.
“Patrick, make sure you tell Carlos I love the sneakers," the former World No. 1 said during commentary.
Patrick obliged and passed on his brother's message to Alcaraz.
"Carlos, my brother wants to tell you he loves your sneakers," Patrick McEnroe said.
"Thank you, it’s a good one, right?" replied Alcaraz.
The Mac Attack shoes were designed by Nike in 1984 and became famous as McEnroe's choice of sneakers during his time on the ATP Tour. The sneakers were recently re-released by Nike and worn by Alcaraz, who is known to have a love for sneakers.
