Nike Vapor 12 Hypersmash Men's Clay Court Tennis Shoes Ib7261-700 Size 40

Product information

Get to every single ball with blistering speed in the Vapor 12. With a reworked upper and traction pattern, it's lighter and more responsive than the 11. And we brought back springy Air Zoom cushioning and our Claybreaker technology, so that you're ready for the red dirt. This special design celebrates shared respect between hoopers and tennis stars, taking its cues from an iconic Hyperdunk 2008 colourway and blending it with our Vapor 12 technology. More benefits: Full midfoot fit band allows you to pull the laces tighter to enhance the fit and enable faster cuts. The midsole foam in between the plastic and rubber, which wasn't on the Vapor 11, helps keep you light on your feet. Zoom it: A heel Air Zoom unit helps keep you supported and springy throughout your match. Stick and cut: Nike Claybreaker technology helps give you enhanced traction and less build-up on clay courts. Added grip in the forefoot and midfoot work with a wide traction pattern to help you slide with control. We used traction maps, pressure maps and analysed clay build-up areas for the design. Then, we tested it on red-clay courts in Europe in multiple clay-weather conditions (cold, warm, wet and dry). Lighter load: The herringbone traction pattern is made from our new rubber compound that's lighter than Vapors of the past. We brought back the firm midfoot plastic piece seen on past Vapors to provide optimal stability and transitions when cutting from side to side. The supportive piece also allowed us to remove the rubber in the midfoot, which helps reduce the overall weight of the shoe. Transfer the power: A firm foot frame wraps around the supportive midfoot plate and spans from heel to toe, giving you more of a secure feel. It helps give you the stability to transfer power during aggressive slides, cuts and pivots. Lightweight upper: We reduced the weight of the engineered mesh while maintaining durability in high-wear zones by the toe.
