Saw what looked like a possible GP Turbo type replacement tonight. Guy in my playing group is a long time Nike tester. Looked like it had a plate similar to Zoom NXT but way denser heel cushion and a toe box guard almost identical to the GP. Will have to take a closer look if I play him again...
Yeah I mean I don’t know. Like I said he’s super paranoid about Nikes rules for testing so I didn’t get to really examine it and have not worn any Nikes personally in awhile outside of Zeros. Just didn’t look beefy enough to be a Cage or NXT update but I could always be wrong. I’d say Cage would...
Based on what I saw and how the shoe looks, it looks like a replacement for the Pro with elements of the Vapor NXT (drag guard) brought to it. Drag guard is not as big as the NXT but is more present than that of the current Pro. Tongue is more padded than current Pro or NXT but is still a...
A friend of mine is testing the new Vapor so I got a brief look last night in our group play. Tongue is definitely more padded than Vapor Pro but is still not a more traditional tongue like the 9-10. Shoe has a drag guard similar to the Vapor NXT on the medial side of toe box but you can tell...
Anyone else notice the Zoom Zero/ GP Turbo mashup Anisimova was rocking at USO? She was a long time ZZ holdout (like Sinner) and last year had a PE Zero in the Challenge Court scheme. This year you could tell she had the inner sleeve of the ZZ mated to some of the upper features of the GP.

Nike had international shipping policy updates that supposedly went into effect in Jan last year, prohibiting retail partners from shipping product outside of their "home network". I wonder if they have just recently gotten more strict about enforcing the policy.
I tried to chat them that very question today and their only response was to check the SNKRS app. Bc you know SNKRS posts a lot of upcoming tennis specific shoes...........:emoji_rolling_eyes:
Uber 4 is a good shoe and it breathes ok IMO. Not going to be a whole lot of forefoot cushioning though. The Asics Speed FF2 is better in that regard but seems less stable than the Uber due to a narrow sole profile.
Diadora Speed Blushield 5 was very well cushioned when I playtested it. It's...
