Nike's premier match-day shoe delivers all out speed without compromising support, stability, 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: Slate / Obsidian

Best in awhileThis is the best Vapor in a while. Low to the ground and excellent lateral mobility. Could be a little wider and the upper half could feel more "locked in" to the shoe, like some previous Vapors, but overall a solid shoe that I would buy again.

Decent Shoe - to NarrowNike needs to get back into releasing Wide in their men’s shoes. Lock down is poor in these, and they are too Narrow.

Finally, A True Vapor ReturnsThis shoe is hands down the best shoe on the market today. I'm reluctant to tout it to my league fearing the guys will go out and buy it too. The only major flaw is very limited color ways. Nike needs to release at least 5-7 color ways to get this shoe in wide distribution. That being said, this shoe is remarkable!

Good shoeI wanted to try the new Vapor 12 and I was not disappointed. I have enjoyed the other Vapors but I still prefer the Cage line. Overall I would buy the 12 again.

A hybrid between The vapor 9.5 and vapor xA hybrid between The vapor 9.5 and vapor x. A little more support and lighter than the current Vapor 12. Probably the best shoe that exists as of right now, IMO (Vapor X was my fav for reference). You will need to change the insoles as there's not a whole lot of padding.

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.
