"Forget about an unexpected early exit from the tournament. The real problem for Roger Federer this week was the color of his shoes' soles. Early yesterday, it was reported that the folks at Wimbledon had banned the player's Nike Zoom Vapor 9 Tour LE sneakers, with their blaze orange undercarriage, for not complying with the club's \"predominantly white dress\" code. Was it the loss of his signature kicks that doomed Federer in the second round against Sergiy Stakhovsky? We can't say for sure. But, hey: At least we know we're not the only ones paying attention to sprezzy details."
