Best tennis shoe i have ever worn

Great All Around Shoe
gqnelly - Mar 26, 2021
I have tried everything from Barricades to Vapors to Zooms and everything inbetween. I have to say this shoe is fantastic if you get it to fit correctly. It runs really large (I typically wear a 12 in Nike) and I had to get a size down (11). Once you get the right fit...they are Ferraris. Great stability and lighter than I expected (although not as light as Vapors). I am a big guy (6'2" and 210 lbs) and they feel great for my game. I do like the Zoom GP Turbo, too (I bought a pair at the same time). They feel a little more "plush" but perhaps not as stable. I will do a follow up review after I spend a bit more time on the court.
Heavy, weighted shoe!
Nike User - Jun 21, 2021
As an avid wearer of Nike running and workout shoes, I was excited to see the NikeCourt Air Zoom Vapor Cage 4 - especially the orange swoosh! When the shoes arrived, the first thing I noticed taking them out of the box was how heavy the shoe is. After placing them on my feet, I felt I was wearing concrete blocks with the weight of the shoe. I've worn them twice now as part of my cardio (elliptical) workout, and they are way too uncomfortable. The shoe is aesthetically appealing with the design and color, but that's about it. Even the lacing at the top of the shoe is awkward. This shoe was definitely a BUST!!!

Explore the Vapor Cage 4


World champion Rafael Nadal knows how brutal the court can be on his body and his footwear. He also knows that player longevity and product durability are connected. Meet the Vapor Cage 4. Inspired by Rafa’s playstyle, it’s our most durable shoe to date. With added stability, comfort, and responsiveness, the Vapor Cage 4 will help keep you in the game longer.
To back it up, the outsole durability is guaranteed for six months.

Dialed Durability
We’ve enhanced areas of high wear on the Vapor Cage 4 by extending the tread from the outsole onto the upper, creating a seamless transition that provides durability and traction without sacrificing visual appeal. This innovation also conceals the laces within the upper, protecting them from premature wear due to dragging.

Secure Fit
From baseline warm-ups to intense, all-out lunges at the net, the Vapor Cage 4’s one-piece, wraparound upper envelops your foot and delivers stability and control across a full range of motion. An updated fit system provides containment and comfort during even your longest days on the court.

Responsive Design
To chase down tough shots and avoid injury, Rafa does a lot of sliding. It’s part of what makes him a fast and nimble player. The outsole of the Vapor Cage 4 was designed to enable controlled slides, combining the smoothness you need to get into a slide and the grip to quickly recover. A Zoom Air unit in the forefoot offers cushioning and lift to help get you to the next ball.

Nike designer Kevin Becker shares the insights behind pushing the Cage 4 to a new level of durability, with innovations in fit, comfort, and responsiveness.
