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

Runs slightly big

Long time fan of the Vapor line. Vapor 11 is my favorite iteration to date. The Vapor 12 run slightly bigger than all the predecessors. And has less of that compact feel. Also, the fabric mesh on top gets dirty fast, which is no fun when the shoe is white.
Good looking performance tennis shoe

It has Everything an aggressive tennis player wants. Feels very low to ground and slightly stiff if you don’t break them in. I’d wear them to work out for a few days before I really step them in . Comfortable and provide great lateral protection against sharp stop.
Great shoes
