Thanks for the update, Fred... I wonder if Wimbledon will let the chrome Swoosh slide?
Also, shoutout to @nudsb7 for directing my attention to the other ones...
IG firstservetennis_satx
I think they will allow it. Last years Winbledon vapor had a gold swoosh and Rogers PE pair had a green swoosh.

It's nuts how the lb's have 3 variations, the cage and vapor with 2 for Wimbledon! It'll be a pisser if Rafa and fed wear something different [emoji]128557[/emoji][emoji]128545[/emoji]

So just to, "confirm" the QS Vapor Tour 9.5 (with the chrome swoosh) is releasing July 1st on TennisExpress? not TennisWarehouse or Midwest Sports?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Don't all three models have three variations? White/silver, white/chrome and white/black? Though the white/black might have too much black for Wimbledon's liking.

I am a bit confused about the Wimbledon releases of the Cages, Vapors and Lunarballistecs. On Tennis warehouse and Midwest sports they have the White with the black swoosh ones...which others are going to be released ? (the silver in the pictures or also others ?)

I haven't seen the Vapor with the silver swoosh
Supposedly, the QS chrome should be available online thru TW/TE/Midwest. Of course, I could be wrong.

Interesting that they went with Laura on this campaign... considering that she's been out for like 18 months... and lost 6-0, 6-1 last week at Eastbourne. Sure, she got a wild-card at Wimbledon, but its gonna be a long road for her.

Your right and if it was not Wimbledon then I think they would never do that. But it's her first big tournament since signing for Nike, Nike are an official partner of the LTA who Laura has been a poster girl for a while and she is very marketable. I can see it makes sense here England where she is well known but I cant see fans world wide getting it.
I'm glad she is back though - been watching Laura since her early Junior days in county matches and want her to do well. That score line in the Eastbourne quailes didn't do her justice it was tighter than that. I think she was just pleased to be back out there and get through it though. I think real progress will be made when she gets on the smaller tournament circuit in US and then indoors I far East where she is not well known and the pressure will be off. next week will be too much for her, the British media will be on her and it will be a first round loss I'm sure.
Going to try to get to Eastbourne on Friday or Saturday. My Gran goes every year (she is 90). I suspect Caroline and Eugenie will have lost long before I arrive though!

the chrome vapors are straight fire.
i'm looking to cop those as soon as they drop. is this a confirmed nike court release? and does anyone know how "QS" they are? i hope folks don't cop just to re-sell. i want a pair to play in.

I was impressed with Laura a few years back at the USO... impressive power, but needs better command.
Damn shame about her injuries... 18 freaking months and at this stage in her career.
Anyway, surprisingly Genie won.

Yes she was getting real progress two years ago but I believe she has got the skills to be a solid top 20 player again and winner of smaller tournaments. Yes saw that picture on IG always nice to welcome WTA back to the UK. Genie in straights set too. Good win for British no 2 Konta as well today against top 10 opposition

Np, I snagged a 12 in the Vapors just in case they sold out quickly. Can always return it, but it is a nice looking shoe.
