🎾 Official Nike Tennis (and other brands as well) Thread

Just played in my clay court vapor pro 2's tonight and can say not a big fan after first wear. Didn't feel like there was much cushioning (and I'm not even picky about it compared to most) and overall just felt kinda stiff without much performance. I'll wear a couple more times but not exactly sure I'll be rushing out to buy these iterations (however the clay sole being available in the US will likely *force* me to buy them as most EU options are cracking down on shipping to US as they should have been all along).

Really wish Nike would come out with more classic Challenge Court stuff.....that retro line is really good and last time they came out with anything from it was in 2020 (the retro 90'-91' line )

Also not a fan of the Vapor 11's or the NXT's as the cushioning isn't great. They need to put more Zoom Air, Air max or something in their tennis shoes. Really feels like you're running on pavement with just socks on.
Prefer ASICS as I feel their gel cushioning right now is better than Nike's cushioning.

💯💯💯💯I found the VP2 waaay too stiff. I’m done with new Nike shoes….I switched over to the ASICS speed for clay about two years ago and have loved them. Just gonna pick those up for hardcourts now. They’re as close to the vapor x as I feel like I can get. That said, the On Roger Pro‘s are the best hardcourt shoe I’ve ever played in. Too bad those are $200 bones and only released like twice a year….in an orthopedic at best colorway…smh

The coco cg 1 is a pretty good shoe for hardcourt as well. A little spendy but remind me a bit of the atc 3 I used in high school.

 

[richiemcfly]

Yup pretty standard, I'm a medium and they felt great, slightly more leg room than my Rafa shorts but similar inseam length 7" I believe.

Thanks ordered a medium and large to see which fits me the best!

Not sure if it's just me and off topic but it seems every ASICS pair of the Solution Speed FF on their website is sold out lol. Anyone ever try the Gel Resolutions?

Not sure if im going to buy anymore Nike pairs for $120+ if they dont start putting more Zoom Air or cushioning in their tennis sneakers. Might as well buy a pair of basketball sneakers or Lebron's for $200 to play tennis in.

It seems to resemble this Nike Court Victory Polo based on a pic I found online with the 2 matching white lines across the collar.

It looks like this one but in different colors: https://strefatenisa.com.pl/en/tenn...ourt-dri-fit-victory-polo-pq-m-obsidian/white , https://www.e-tennis.com/apparel/nikecourt-dri-fit-victory-men-s-tennis-polo-cw6848-451.html

One code found was: CW6848-451

Saw what looked like a possible GP Turbo type replacement tonight. Guy in my playing group is a long time Nike tester. Looked like it had a plate similar to Zoom NXT but way denser heel cushion and a toe box guard almost identical to the GP. Will have to take a closer look if I play him again. He said he had just gotten them.

Few Aussie Open pickups. The Nike shorts are pretty primo quality.

They look like men’s boxers.

Heard there’s a “replacement” (update) coming soon for the Zoom NXTs, due around late Spring or early Summer.

Seems like there better be since very few pros, if any, seem to be using the zoom nxt. And hopefully something with better laces although the track record isn’t good.

lately I’ve been using the coco cg1. They remind me if the atc back in the day.

Hopefully so. The only issue I had with the ZNXTs were the lacing system and how they kinda pinch at the side (probably due to me getting a smaller size than what I wear even though I don’t have wide feet)

what the hell does it matter the turbo look at these! From Belinda bencic Instagram history

 

[whtascene]

Belinda like Grigor with the Nike connections to have a endless supply of the Vapor 9s.

 

[da hen]

Reminds me of my favorite player Sampras, who wore the Nike air oscillate for so many many years

 

[Sinner]

Didn't realize Sabalenka wore the NXT's.

 

[whtascene]

Is Sabalenka the only pro to wear the NXTs haven't seen them around at the Aussie Open much.

 

[Sinner]

Seems like it.

My clay VP2 just arrived. I played an entire game in them and won 6/1 6/1. Obviously thanks to the shoes... Jokes aside, the traction felt solid. My opponent was harmful so I didn’t really need to push my footwork to the limit. I still had to run for a couple of drop shots and make some slides. No problem with that, the outsole performed well. On direction changes, I never felt I was slipping or tripping. So overall I’m happy. Not sure there’s a difference compared to the old herringbone pattern though. I’ll need to compare it with a VP1 during the same session to get a better idea.

da hen, what would you say is the closest model (of any brand) to the air oscillate these days? I never played in the oscillate as a kid.

 

[salomonzarf]

Guys!, I'm looking for this sock if someone have some nike crew sock code sx6913 in good condition or new in different color in size medium or large, contact me

Wow, great question my man.

The oscillate is my favorite shoe to play in. The only thing that I can think of is the zoom trainer 1, which came out for a bit and then disappeared. I absolutely love that shoe.

kecmanovic was wearing them prior to getting dropped
