Last month, Rodman explained her role in the design process and how these cleats will impact her play style.
“Developing tailored products for the women’s game is a huge win, and it was incredible to be a part of the design and research journey for the F50 SparkFusion. I love how the cleat is built to support quick changes in direction, something very important to my game. And, I can’t wait to get out on to the pitch with them on,” she said.
Before officially confirming their relationship, Shelton and Rodman hinted at their romance through TikTok videos, eventually sharing a joint Instagram post that received supportive reactions from the tennis community.
