Nike Vapor 12

$180

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 fast cuts.
Midsole foam in between the plastic and rubber, which wasn’t on the Vapor 11, helps keep you light on your feet.

Great tennis shoes
RamandeepS860039508 - Oct 10, 2025
These shoes are really comfortable, provide great stability and grip.
A great tennis shoe. Noticeable improvement from Vapor 11

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I feel as though the sole has more shock absorption than the 11s. I found the 11s to be very clunky.
