Tennis Shoes

When we launched our first tennis shoes back in the 1980s, we had one main goal: to help players at every level perform at their best. We've been innovating ever since, creating footwear that gives you the support you need to take on every match with confidence. Expect outstanding on-court grip for sudden stops and lightning-fast turns, alongside impact-absorbing cushioning and low-profile uppers for total freedom of movement. And with a choice of pairs optimised for clay and grass surfaces, you'll find the right fit to suit your style of play.

Build your success from the ground up

An effective sports shoe begins with the outsole. Nike shoes for tennis are built with herringbone outsoles and data-informed designs to deliver exceptional grip, all while ensuring the slide-ability you need to nail challenging shots. Playing mainly on clay? Choose our tennis court shoes with innovative Claybreaker technology that reduces build-up for maximum stability from the knock-up to the final point. And because long matches can be hard on your footwear, our tennis shoes come with durable rubber and tough plastic in high-wear areas.

Move with confidence

From high-powered serves to strong returns and inspired drop shots—tennis puts unique demands on your joints. That's why our tennis shoes are crafted with light, springy Zoom Air units in the forefoot, providing the support you need to play at your peak. Tightly stretched fibres combine with pressurised air to soak up impacts and snap back fast, reducing the risk of injury or stress damage. Through the midsole, look out for lightweight padding that cradles and protects your foot without weighing you down.

Nike tennis shoes for juniors

At Nike, we believe young sports players deserve the same pro-quality apparel as adults. Our junior-size shoes for tennis have durable rubber soles that combine exceptional grip with outstanding slide-ability, so youngsters can develop and hone essential skills with confidence. Tennis shoes with soft foam cushioning give growing joints the protection they need. At the same time, lightweight materials ensure juniors are comfortably supported without being weighed down. And because kids can be tough on their footwear, you'll find leather uppers that are made to take plenty of on-court action.

Showcase your style

You want to own the court. And you want to look good doing it. Our tennis shoes come in a choice of styles, from subtle and understated to bold and statement. Keep your vibe classic with an all-white pair, or opt for fresh pops of colour at the heel or side panels. For standout appeal, go for block shades. Plus, the Nike Swoosh gives your new kicks their unmistakable badge of quality.
