This special-edition Vapor 12 sports colors that nod to NYC and its love for basketball. 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—even in the city that never sleeps.

This special-edition Vapor 12 sports colors that nod to NYC and its love for basketball. 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—even in the city that never sleeps.
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 and medial forefoot.

Best Nike Court offering since Vapor 9.5’s

Big fan of Vapor 12’s, have three pairs. They fit, perform, and last a lot like Vapor 9.5’s, which were my go-to shoe for many, many years. I like that they have a low rise, and are not too soft. Good support for my normal arches, no need for inserts.
Comfortable, easy break in, bulky and heavy

Nicely designed shoe, comfortable and no break in required. Fit is difficult since I have always ordered size 12 Nike shoes my entire life, these run large and is bulky on one of my feet. The bulkiness and heavier feel of this shoe causes concern over injury or tripping when having to plant and slide in Pickleball conditions. This sets the shoe at an average rating for the price offered.
Good performance on hard court

Good performance on pickleball/tennis court! Light weight, and have enough cushion to support the quick change of directions during games. The bottom middle area can be slippery if stepped on something hard.
