On the red clay, it's all about who can withstand the grind. In the stands? A gala of glamour, a who's who that stretches from row to row. This special design pays tribute to the second slam, with inspiration drawn directly from the tournament's iconic playing surface. We brought back all the elements you enjoyed in the original Pro. The low-to-the ground design and the springy Air Zoom cushioning help you break from baseline to baseline with that familiar Vapor comfort.
Nike Claybreaker technology helps give you enhanced traction and less build-up on clay courts. Added grip in the forefoot and midfoot work with a wide traction pattern to help you slide with control. We used traction maps, pressure maps and analysed clay build-up areas for the design. Then we tested it on red-clay courts in Europe in multiple clay-weather conditions (cold, warm, wet and dry).
This design is lower to the court than our previous iteration, giving you incredible lightweight court feel for bursts of quick movements and cuts.
A forefoot Air Zoom unit offers spring in your first step, helping you get to that return along the baseline or approach the net with suddenness. The cushioned midsole offers support without adding unnecessary weight.
Durable, reinforced mesh helps keep your feet cool and adds extra support.
