On has quietly rolled out a refresh of The Roger Centre Court with a White/Evergreen colorway that makes the brand’s most refined lifestyle sneaker look sharper than ever.

Green with envy

The White/Evergreen iteration contrasts a forest-green inner lining against a crisp white leather exterior.

The Roger Centre Court, launched in 2020, was co-created by On and Roger Federer as a premium tennis-inspired lifestyle sneaker, presumably designed to go toe-to-toe with other tennis-grounded lifestyle sneaker successes like the Adidas Stan Smith.

It arrived with a clean, architectural silhouette, vegan-leather upper and On’s signature CloudTec sole — credentials that justified its position at the top of the brand’s lifestyle lineup.

Green and white shoe soles with textured grip pattern on a green background. — The new evergreen color extends to the soles as well.

The updated all-white version released in late February made a strong early impression, and our previous coverage noted just how well it’s positioned as a daily driver. Which is why it was no surprise to see sizing sell out almost immediately.

This new White/Evergreen iteration updates the pure white look with a rich forest-green heel tab and accent details, giving the shoe a distinctly preppy, court-ready personality without sacrificing any of the restraint that made the original compelling.

Availability and pricing

Pair of white sneakers with dark green inner lining and gold "on" and "R." logos on the heels. — The Roger Centre Court sits at the top of On’s lifestyle lineup, commanding a premium over budget alternatives.

The Roger Centre Court in White/Evergreen is available now directly through On’s website at $200.

As with previous iterations, that’s a premium ask, especially when directly compared to the Stan Smith, which costs just $100. That said, the more appropriate comparison may be alternatives from brands like Common Projects, which typically retail for $550 or more.
