Nike Vapor 12 'Qinwen Zheng'

Behind the design

Qinwen's game is meant to push you back, while every detail of this shoe pulls you in. The embroidered upper nods to her zodiac sign, victory on the world's biggest stage and ascension to the top of the sport. And per Queen Wen's request, we added angel wings to the Swoosh logo.

Zoom It

A heel Air Zoom unit helps keep you supported throughout your match.

Clay ready

Nike Claybreaker technology helps give you enhanced traction and less build-up on clay courts. Added grip in the forefoot and midfoot work with a wide traction pattern to help you slide with control. We used traction maps, pressure maps and analysed clay build-up areas for the design. Then, we tested it on red-clay courts in Europe in multiple clay-weather conditions.

Transfer the Power

A firm foot frame wraps around the supportive midfoot plate and spans from heel to toe, giving you a more secure feel. It helps give you the stability to transfer power during aggressive slides, cuts and pivots.

Lighter Load

The herringbone traction pattern is made from our new rubber compound that's lighter than Vapors of the past. It allows you to decelerate, plant and get back into position without feeling like you're rounding off your cuts.

Benefits

• The full midfoot fit band allows you to pull the laces tighter to enhance the fit and enable faster cuts.
• The midsole foam inbetween the plastic and rubber, which wasn't on the Vapor 11, helps keep you light on your feet.
• We reduced the weight of the engineered mesh while maintaining durability in high-wear zones by the toe.
