🎾 Official Nike Tennis (and other brands as well) Thread

The flyknits look like the Vapor Ace take down model. (In that 9 comparison pic)
The 9s overall were much nicer.
Time for a 10 already.

hey guys for those of you that have the Babolat AeroPro Drive, do you see a reason to upgrade to the new Babolat Pure Aero at $219? I'm looking at purchasing the Aero Pro Lite at $149 at tenniswarehouse. Are there any other websites out there that have the old Aero Pro Drives for cheaper than $150?

I don't play with Babolat, but my first question would be if you're unhappy with your current APD.  There are quite a few differences between that and the PA... same string pattern, but with a more open-grid... and the obvs lack of Cortex.  Do you play with lots of spin or more of a flat-hitter?  Do you like the feel of Cortex?  The PA also has a slightly higher swingweight, so that'll also offer more power.  

As for the Aero Pro Lite, that's quite different from the 2 racquets you mentioned in terms of weight!  over 40g lighter, which is quite significant.  Rule of thumb is to go for the heaviest racquet you can handle!

Ultimately, it's all down to personal preference.  Assuming you're in the States, I'd say demo them!

Not a huge fan of these FK Vapors in hand. Definitely not at the price point. Gonna have to go back. I'm a big fan of the FK racers and Kobe 9-10 so I had high expectations.

Little comparison shot with the Vapor 9's.

I was gonna keep mine just to see how they performed cause I love everything flyknit but since these fit .5 size large on me I'm just gonna return them. I'd just rather spend the $180 on something else instead of testing these out especially since I already got plenty of tennis shoes. I think these are a little better in person but still a little underwhelming. I do like the all white flyknit on it tho. Is this the first completely white flyknit sneaker?
 
Oh yeah forgot about that one. I don't count it tho cause it's not a popular shoe nor would someone wear it casually haha
 
^ Interestingly enough, the first time I saw them here was at Nike Lab, which is catered more towards the casual/fashion crowd.  In all-black.  Go figure! 
 
Anyone know what time today the RF NikeLab collection is suppose to release? I remember reading that today was the day for online availability. I just assumed it would be at 10 EST. But that seems to not be the case...
 
Are these new lunars ? Kind of looks like bull logo on tongue

Couple of new bits on NDC. New colourway for the aero bill hat. Black and gradient green. US Open colourways maybe?

Look what some lucky guy found for $40... no joke. The funny thing is he doesn't even know how to say Federer's name. Calls him Roger Feeder!

$40 for Federers player exclusive Vapor 6. Deal of the century, lucky guy or what?

Nice pickup
 
Damn, $40 PE's.

We've always known his feet were super-wide, but that pic really shows it!
