Miami knows how to party, and the vibes at the Miami Open seamlessly blend world-class tennis and nightlife the city is known for. But this year, the rockin' atmosphere fans and players are used to at Hard Rock Stadium came to play at another sporting venue: a skatepark, thanks to apparel-maker On.

Two of On's most famous brand ambassadors, Joao Fonseca and Ben Shelton, were on hand during the first week of the ATP Masters 1000 event for On Clubhouse Nights Miami, which the brand touted as "an evening to celebrate the intersection of tennis, music and culture."

The Swiss manufacturer, with the help of the music platform Boiler Room, transformed Lot 11 Skatepark in downtown Miami into a high-energy tennis mecca, with a pop-up shopping experience that highlighted the new THE ROGER Clubhouse, a lifestyle sneaker designed in collaboration with its legendary namesake Roger Federer.

A vibrant atmosphere was created by performances by Jamaican dancehall singer Shenseea, Latin artist Cromo X, and Venezuelan DJ Marte, as freestyle skaters also showed off their skills in the background.

On court, Fonseca and Shelton played points between themselves and also hit with other influencers and friends of the brand, including Brazilian supermodel Francisco Lachowski and British model Mia Regan, among others.

When asked to describe the experience in three words, Shelton went with "loud, energetic and colorful," as he and Fonseca traded jokes about Miami's famous club scene.

The two young stars even teamed up for a backstage video, where Fonseca introduced Shelton to the Brazilian music track "Simplesmente Ela" as Shelton quipped that the late-night festivities were taking place past the 18-year-old's bedtime.

Attendees were fittingly fueled by a decadent mix of Miami's best bites, including Luna Rossa Brick Oven Pizza and tacos from The Wolf of Tacos, as they sipped crafted cocktails by Lalo Tequila, E11even Vodka, Manojo Mezcal and Bacardi.
