Nike Vapor Pro 2 White/Black Men's Shoes
3.5
Nike has kept what you loved about the previous Vapor Pro and added an Air Zoom unit in the forefoot for added comfort.
Building off the success of the first version, this Nike Vapor Pro 2 carries on the speedy feel, breathability, and even more comfort! Now featuring an Air Zoom unit in the forefoot for more cushioning underfoot, and a springy, explosive feel. The upper feels nice and contoured, due to the stretchy internal sleeve, while the outer shell is well ventilated and supportive. A data informed outsole design provides plenty of traction, without hindering athletic movers from sliding on the hard courts.
- Upper: Stretchy internal sleeve and mesh for 2 layers of support; breathable. Asymmetrical lacing hugs feet during lateral movements.
- Midsole: Air Zoom unit in forefoot and soft foam midsole for responsive cushioning and a low to the ground feel. Full-length foot frame on lateral side adds stability.
- Outsole: A data informed herringbone tread pattern for a good balance of grip and give. Rubber has been removed from low wear areas, to reduce weight.
- Color: White / Black

Little clunky but good support & durabilityHaven’t had these long but I like them so far. They have pretty good grip and support. Feel solid and well-made which has not been my opinion of Nike tennis shoes for a long time. Not sure if the soles’ grip will wear quickly as they appear average in durability. It’s a plus, though, that the top toe area has enough tough material to protect against toe-drag. They do feel a bit clunky even going down a couple half-sizes — not the speediest shoe. But I have medium-wide feet and these felt comfortable. Like to cover the court and run and they seem to give good lateral support, respond well to start-and-stop, and have sufficient cushioning. Some foot-sliding inside the shoe. It’s not too much but not a perfect “locked-down” feeling. Maybe going down even another half-size might have helped. I play several times a week and I think these shoes will take a beating well. Overall not crazy light but fast enough, well-constructed, and good support. Happy with them. Would recommend.

Great shoesWhen I got these shoes I never went back to ASICS. They are great for moving around but wish they had better blue options.
Sizing inconsistentBought my first pair a couple of months ago, normal size for me is 10.5, but surprisingly the 10.0 felt perfect. Liked them so much I bought another pair, same size in a 10.0, in white. Oddly they felt at least half a size or maybe even a full size smaller than my original pair, so sadly I had to return them.
Worst durability of any Nike so farI've been wearing Nike tennis shoes forever. For me, the durability of Nike soles is typically about four months. These Vapor Pro 2's showed wear almost immediately and are worn flat in my typical spots in about two months, but haven't quite worn through. Bring back the Vapor X. Still not durable, but Vapor X was the best Nike has done.
bring it backThese shoes felt very different from the Vapor Pro which I loved for its fast a speedy feel. Please bring it back.
Shoelace Fell OffFirst match of the year, second set, opponent hits dropshot. I run and try to reach by sliding, but wasn’t able to. Scrape my knee and the right shoelace on my right foot fell off.
Love this shoeI was so bummed when the Vapor X got replaced with the first Vapor Pro, but this second version I absolutely love. I have been playing Vapors exclusively for the last 7 years and although the Pro 2 is quite different to the 9 - 9.5 & X, I actually like it even more.
The simple fit and design are super comfy. Short break-in period (about an hour). Zoom Air in the forefoot is pretty springy but I added a Zoom Air insole for more rebound and cushioning in the heel.
The outsole is unfortunately not durable at all but Vapors have never been known for their durability so that was expected.
Overall: Fast, light, comfortable and stable. Love it.
Great update better than VP1New updated Vapor Pro 2 is better lock in system compare to previous version. Also they remove pinky-toe guard in version 1 no toe pain, slightly wider but still good fit, therefore your fit won't move around in toe-box. Much more comfort than its precedent. Still light weight and good match shoes. Also it is more durable. I love this update. I think it is the best Nike tennis shoes since Vapor X.
Very DisappointingI have used 8 pairs of the previous Vapor Pro and loved every one of them. They were low the ground, light, and fast. This new version is a disappointment to say the least. The toe box is different and it is causing my toes to jam into the front, resulting in uncomfortable play and bruising. This was not a problem on the previous version, but suddenly it is. They also feel higher off the ground. This could be due to the air unit in the forefoot which doesn't actually seem to provide that much more cushion. Regardless, they are not as low as the previous Vapor Pro and the Vapor X.
What is most frustrating is that they are wearing out very quickly. I have maybe 20 hours on hard courts on these and the tread is already worn off on the inside portion of the foot tread.
Love the aesthetics, but overall a very disappointing showing from Nike.
