Get to every single ball with blistering speed in the Vapor 12. With a reworked upper and new rubber compound on the outsole, it's lighter and more responsive than the 11. And we brought back springy Air Zoom cushioning and our Claybreaker technology, so that you’re ready for the red dirt.
Zoom It
A heel Air Zoom unit helps keep you supported and springy throughout your match.
Clay-Ready
Nike Claybreaker technology helps give you enhanced traction and less buildup on clay courts. Added grip in the forefoot and midfoot work with a wide traction pattern to help you slide with control. We used traction maps, pressure maps and analyzed clay buildup areas for the design. Then, we tested it on red-clay courts in Europe in multiple clay-weather conditions (cold, warm, wet and dry).
Lighter Load
The herringbone traction pattern is made of our new rubber compound that’s lighter than Vapors of the past. 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.
