Nike's premier match-day shoe delivers all out speed without compromising support or comfort.

Designed for explosive speed, the Nike Vapor 12 Clay delivers the lightweight and fast feel that the Vapor line was built upon, without compromising comfort or stability. Nike used data from the worn shoes of arguably the most explosive mover on the pro tour, and engineered these Vapor 12’s to withstand the test of battle. Nike also listened to the consumers, and integrates various design concepts from some of the people's favorite Vapors; with an aesthetic inspiration from the Vapor VI Tour, and performance features from the Vapor Pro, Vapor X, Vapor 9/9.5. A Zoom Air unit in the heel supplies impact cushioning, and the split sole design helps to cut down on weight but maintain torsional rigidity. The fit band in the mid-foot increases lock-down and delivers more confidence on quick side-to side cuts. The outsole is comprised of Hart rubber for increased durability, and molded into a full length Claybreaker outsole with herringbone tread; providing ideal traction on clay courts.

  • Upper: High deneer engineered mesh provides comfort, and ventilation. Cast PU reduces weight, while making sure high wear zones are protected; tip of the toe and medial toe box.
  • Midsole: Zoom Air unit located in the heels for shock absorption on hard landings. TPU full length Footframe from heel to toe supplies lightweight stability. Mid- foot shank located in between two-piece split outsole design. 22mm heel stack, with low to the court 10mm stack in the forefoot.
  • Outsole: Hart rubber compound creates more durability; added abrasion resistance. Claybreaker full herringbone tread pattern for optimal grip on clay courts, but performs well on a variety of court surfaces.
  • Color: Apricot / Obsidian

Good lightweight and easy to put in and outThese Nike tennis shoes are very comfortable and super lightweight. The laces adjust easily to your foot, and it's very simple to loosen them for better comfort. They also feel stable on the court. I hope to confirm their durability over time, but so far I really like them.

Something in between the 9.5 and Vapor XWide enough toe box, similar to the vapor x. Not as low to the ground as the vapor x but similar to the 9.5. Feels light on your feet, almost as if you can move quicker. As of July 2025, probably the best tennis shoe that exists (specifically the Hypersmash version). If Nike could bring the shoe lower to the ground, such as with the vapor x, this would be one of the best shoes ever.

Highly recommend!I found this pair of shoes to be some of most mobile, stable and comfortable tennis shoes out there. The hypersmash design allows for breathing room for the feet as well as keeping the feet stable in the shoe. Loved them so much I got myself 3 pairs !

Nike Bows To Consumer DemandFor the last several years Nike has been burned so badly by the likes of Asics and Adidas, they had NO choice but to release a quality Vapor. The imitation Vapors of the last several years utterly crushed their sales numbers. Better late than never!

Finally Worthy of Vapor NameGents, They finally released a version worthy of the iconic Vapor name. I found the Zoom Vapor 12 HYPERMASH to be very close if not identical to the design elements of the Vapor 10. Clearly a winner. From both a weight and cosmetic sensibility Nike has found the sweet spot. Would recommend this version without reservation once the pricing becomes more reasonable.

Getting Closer to True Vapor but Still a MissThis latest edition of the vapor line is a definite improvement over past revisions. Nevertheless it still falls well short of the iconic Vapor X. Well fitting but still a full ounce too heavy. Lateral stability is improving but felt clunky due to the unnecessary increased weight. The graphics are an improvement but the Swoosh on the outside is still WAY too large. Nike needs to bring back the elegant look of the smaller Swoosh on the rear of the upper from the halcyon days of the 9.5 and X editions. Getting closer to a legitimate match day shoe but still falls short especially at the price point Nike is trying to extract from its former customer. Would recommend the ASICS FF3 as a much more suitable replacement for the Nike Vapor X.
