These shoes are great! While they do run a tiny bit small (I’d go half a size up), it may be just a matter of not breaking them in fully yet. I have ankle issues due to many years of playing basketball and these shoes make me feel super confident in their ankle support. While they provide ample support for my ankles, they still let you move around in them like you need to while playing tennis. They’re excellent for quick turns and sliding as well. They remind me a lot of the basketball sneakers I would buy that would help my ankles, and I’m confident these will stop any possible ankle turns!

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 (cold, warm, wet and dry).
Zoom, zoom
A forefoot Air Zoom unit helps you play on your toes and puts a pop in your first step. A heel Air Zoom unit provides support.
Stay in motion
A strong midfoot plastic plate adds stability for quick cuts and power to your game when transferring energy from motion to motion. Webbing around the eyestays combined with the plate offer a sort of "hugged" containment when moving side to side. The heel has extra padding to help keep you comfortable and supported.
Durable traction
Extra rubber in the toe area, specifically the big-toe side, adds durability. High-abrasion rubber in the forefoot offers durability and traction. We designed the heel specifically for rocker-like movements, like pulling back for a serve.

East9th - 28 Apr 2025
Shoes are light, Supportive, Comfortable, Tread is perfect for clay. Wore them in a tournament recently and really appreciated the attention to the lateral (side to side) support as well as the heal counter balance which I noticed the benefits of. The shoes were very good out of the box as I had less than a 3 day break in period with them prior to competition. I’m typically hard on my competition shoes, but these held up remarkably well after competition. The toe protection was appreciated as well (this is normally an area for fast wear on my end).
