I have played with the fire red version. I think feel and performance is bascially a Vapor 9.5. The downside is the elephant print gets destroyed quick if you toe drag and I felt the leather upper made my feet way too hot in summer compared to mesh shoes.
You lucky bastard
Just arrived. Nice playful design.
I remember the Rafa 21 t shirt coming out prematurely too so hopefully he gets to 23
My 23 shirt nike cancelled just before final delivery
I hope you get it eventually when they re-list itYou lucky bastard
like who pays full price for any of that? Everyone is so conditioned to wait for massive markdowns then cop what they want. Why even start the price at $80 or above? All of it just sits, sometimes for years. TW is still sellin yonex shirts from AO 2022 at full price. Guess what! You can get any size you want!
Have you tried the cages or zoom nxts? Any comparison notes? They look sick, just waiting for my local shop to get them in stock.So while my pair of clay VP2 is in transit, I went to the nearest Tennis-Point store yesterday. Initially just to get my racquets restrung. But... I ended up buying this whole outfit...
Here's a little review of the VP2 after 2.5 hours of play : They don't feel that much heavier on feet than the OG VP. The upper is softer and more flexible. It moves more naturally with your foot. They feel TTS lengthwise but they fit is roomier than the VP1. There is more padding inside so for me it's a step up in comfort but the tradeoff was containment. The lacing system didn't give me the lockdown I had from the previous VP, but once I tied the laces harder, it was ok. The air zoom unit in the forefoot is not game changing for me but I could feel a small amount of added cushioning. They still feel low to the ground. I played on a rough and abrasive hard court and I already tore the upper around the ankle collar. But that's juste the way a play. I run everywhere and slide a lot on defensive shots. The good news is the rubber reinforcement on the inside of the toe box.
It seems pretty durable. I used to make holes in the Vapor 9/9.5... I also tried the Vapor 11 in store. They look way better than the VP2 and were really confortable but I made a couple of runs and lateral movements and they felt too heavy and bulky for my taste. I had the feeling that they made me stand more on my heels than on my toes. Sorry for the long post. Feel free if you have any other questions ! Cheers
I said that everyone should try it, not depend on a single taste in this case dr foot Zach
Just picked up the Vapor 11s and found them more comfortable and enjoyable on court compared to the Vapor Pro 2. I didn’t find them to be much heavier compared too when playing with them on.
Only time will tell!
Yeah I own a pair of Zoom NXT, same issues with the lockdown, truly a horrendous shoe. An extra eyelet would solve 70% of whats wrong with that shoe to get an decent lockdown. I was a big fan of the Cage 3s owned 7 pairs, tried on the 4s, just never bit the bullet. Loving the colorway and look of the 2/11s just hoping they fit my feet!
Few Aussie Open pickups. The Nike shorts are pretty primo quality.
Yup pretty standard, I'm a medium and they felt great, slightly more leg room than my Rafa shorts but similar inseam length 7" I believe.
I found the VP2 waaay too stiff. I’m done with new Nike shoes….I switched over to the ASICS speed for clay about two years ago and have loved them. Just gonna pick those up for hardcourts now. They’re as close to the vapor x as I feel like I can get. That said, the On Roger Pro‘s are the best hardcourt shoe I’ve ever played in. Too bad those are $200 bones and only released like twice a year….in an orthopedic at best colorway…smh
