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

Designed for explosive speed, the Nike Vapor 12 delivers the lightweight and fast feel that the Vapor line was built upon, without compromising comfort or support. 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 added durability, and molded into a split outsole with herringbone tread; ideal tread for hard courts, but performs well on all court surfaces.

  • 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. Herringbone tread pattern for optimal grip on hard 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.

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.

Nothing new from Nike....This shoe was touted as the return to performance for Nike, sadly it was a hard pass for me. Most of the reviewers claimed the shoe is wider than other nikes and an improved low profile connected to the court feel. Well my medium wide foot did not agree, I have been using the New Balance 996 v5 for over a year now and I wanted to like this shoe but from the first time I slipped it on I knew it was a no go. I quickly removed the shoe, packaged it up and used the return label as it was quite narrow and I could tell it would not provide the feel I love with the 996. Buyer beware...

like older versionsThe Vapor 11 was the oddball. The Vapor 12 reminds me of the older versions. To be more specific, the Vapor 12 reminds me of the Vapor 9.5.

Nothing will ever come close to the vapor 9.5Nike keeps missing the mark. The 9.5/X Vapor was nearly perfect, but they butchered it with the Vapor Pro 2, Vapor 11, and now the Vapor 12. The latest version feels heavy, clunky, and just plain bad. Their quality has dropped so hard — it’s disappointing. Definitely not buying.
