When the late-summer daylight drops and the city that doesn't stop starts to stir, lace up in this Vapor 12. With a reworked upper and traction pattern, it's lighter and more responsive than the 11. And we brought back Air Zoom cushioning, so you can always be on the attack—even in the city that never sleeps.

The metallic Swoosh logo speaks to the electricity that carries from the court to the city that never sleeps. Solar burst hues hint at the volume that's about to turn up when the sun goes down.
A heel Air Zoom unit helps keep you supported and springy throughout your match.
We brought back the firm midfoot plastic piece seen on past Vapors to provide optimal stability and transitions when cutting from side to side. The supportive piece also allowed us to remove the rubber in the midfoot, which helps reduce the overall weight of the shoe.
A firm foot frame wraps around the supportive midfoot plate and spans from heel to toe, giving you more of a secure feel. It helps give you the stability to transfer power during aggressive slides, cuts and pivots.
We reduced the weight of the engineered mesh while maintaining durability in high-wear zones by the toe.
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 back into position without feeling like you're rounding off your cuts.

Vapor 12 review

Having tried the Vapor Pro 3 hard court shoe, which didn’t last more than 2-3 days before breaking, tried the Vapor 12 and the shoe has the same issue as the the VP3, it just doesn’t last. The picture is taken after 4 days on the practice court, meaning with no tournament play. These shoes are just not made to last.
