Naomi Osaka makes Kei Nishikori happy with her special Nike shoes

Naomi Osaka and Kei Nishikori are among the biggest sports icons in Japan. Nishikori was one of the few players that have managed to challenge the dominance of the big3 in the last decade. Naomi went some steps further when she conquered 3 slams also to be ranked no.1.

Naomi and Kei share a special relationship. Back in the day, Naomi was intimidated by Nishikori’s presence even if the Japanese is a very approachable person. Things have obviously changed over the year.

Nishikori posted a nice pic on social media, happy he received Naomi Collaboration @Nike shoe to thank the US Open champion. Naomi was obviously content about the message.
