Didn't Hold Up To Hard Court

Unfortunately, straight out of the box they didn't even hold up 2 hours wearing them on the tennis court. They produced a hole on the inside of the shoe. The material in that area is fabric and not durable.

Love Them, But They Won't Last Long

Absolutely love how these feel and look, but I have to agree with the other reviews that they will not last you long if you play a lot. Got through my first pair in a few months, my second pair is holding up but already has visible signs of the soles about to tear. I recommend them as long as you are aware that you will rip through them sooner than you'd like.

Disappointed In Durability, Comfortable While They Lasted.

Comfortable and supportive for 5 months, shoes started to pull apart in the mesh areas on the inside and outside of the foot. Feel like they should have lasted longer as the soles are still in decent shape.

Good For Pickleball, But Run Big.

I’ve used these for about 5-6 hours of pickleball and thus far have liked them, however if I were to order them again, I would order a half-size down.

Comfortable But Not Meant To Last Long

Purchased Aug 5th and wore this for rhe first time yesterday. It was indoor hardcourt and like many reviews this shoes is not meant to last. Don’t get me wrong, these are very comfortable shoes. But as you can see in the picture, there’s already a rip/tear.

Performance, Value & Versatility

Best Nike Shoe for On & Off Court Performance. Pair it with Athletic Apparel or Jeans. It’s a versatile shoe with that classic Tennis silhouette. Best value of all the Tennis Shoe options.

Its Good, But Can Improve

Pros: Very Comfortable and Light (Recommend for Light weight ppl, who really cares about mobility) Cons: Not durable (outsole) I wish Nike Vapor Lite could work on its outsole issues. It just doesn't last long. If you play 2 hours of a court game for 10 days. Pretty much the top left side of the left and right shoes, you can see it's worn out. Maybe Vapor Lite 4, they will consider this.

Not Holding Up

Purchased these for my son at the beginning of his high school tennis season. They have not held up well and I need to replace them before the season is even over (less than 3 months). They are developing holes and due to the mesh like material they also stain easily despite only wearing them on the court. I don’t recommend for a teenage boy.

Pickleball Shoes

I bought these so I can play pickleball. Great support. Very comfortable even though my feet are on the wider side. And they look great! I would definitely recommend them.

If It’s Comfort You Seek, This Is The Shoe For You!

Hands down the most comfortable shoe in the entire Nike tennis range. Trust me, I’ve purchased them all. I understand that this model lacks some of the bells and whistles of the Vapor 3 and Vapor 12 models, but for me comfort is my first priority. And there is no shoe in the Nike tennis range that comes close to the level of comfort this model provides.

Good Shoe

Generally like them. Performance is what I expected. Definitely roomy in the toe box. Plenty of width. Maybe run a little large for the size.
