Nike Vapor 12
Get to every single ball with blistering speed in the 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.
Zoom It
A heel Air Zoom unit helps keep you supported and springy throughout your match.
Stick and Cut
The herringbone traction pattern is made of 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.
Lighter Load
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.
Transfer the Power
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.
Lightweight Upper
We reduced the weight of the engineered mesh while maintaining durability in high-wear zones by the toe.
More Benefits
- Full midfoot fit band allows you to pull the laces tighter to enhance the fit and enable faster cuts.
- Midsole foam in between the plastic and rubber, which wasn’t on the Vapor 11, helps keep you light on your feet.

What Reviewers Say
These shoes deliver excellent traction and grip on hard courts, with lightweight construction praised for comfort during extended play. Fit runs true to size for most, though feedback suggests some heel slippage and inconsistent sizing experiences. The shoes work well for tennis and pickleball, offering good support and flexibility once broken in. Durability concerns and mixed opinions on cushioning appear in isolated reviews but don't reflect the broader consensus.
