Cushy midsole, and speedy design; a more stable and supportive option in the Vapor family.
The lineage of the Nike Vapor carries on, and is back better than ever with the Nike Zoom Vapor 11! This evolution of the Vapor blends the perfect balance of feeling low and connected to the court, while also providing a significant amount of cushioning underfoot, to help provide the comfort for those long grinding matches. Compared to the Vapor Pro 2, this Vapor 11 feels a bit more stable due to the molded sidewall, allowing for more aggressive cuts and push-offs. A forefoot Zoom Air unit helps to spring you forward, while a breathable upper helps to keep you cool for the long matches. A data-informed outsole supplies a nice blend of grip and give, and is built to withstand the force of sliding.
- Upper: Breathable and durable mesh upper material provides support, durability, and ventilation. Inner layer for extra support where needed, and outer provides a thin overlay to help with durability. Half inner sleeve for easy on and off.
- Midsole: Zoom Air unit for comfort, and added spring into your step. Molded sidewall to enhance lateral support and stability.
- Outsole: A data-informed outsole supplies a nice blend of grip and give, and is built to withstand the force of sliding. Thicker tread in high-wear zones for added durability.
- Color: Black / White

PerfectFrom the moment I put these on it was so comfortable and the fit was spot-on. The cushion and low to the ground feeling I love and was all there with no break-in required. Do yourself a favor and try a pair. You won't regret it!!
Nike DeceptionPeople want the old Vapor feel back of the Fed days but Nike insists on pushing shoes that the public, majority of us, don't like. Alcaraz gets special treatment and has Nike build a Vapor 10/Vapor Pro 1 midsole and outsole with Vapor 11 upper material which I'm sure feels awesome but we get stuck with the lame Vapor Pro 2 and/or the heavy/stiff Vapor 11. Once again Nike: LISTEN to your customers and provide us a version of the Vapor 10/Pro 1 mid/outsole version... you'll sell a ton of them.
DisappointedDisappointing for top (price-wise) Nike tennis shoe. Stiff and definitely requires break-in. Heavy and not very flexible. A bit of a narrow size fit. Unless you are scraping shoelaces sliding, the lacing system is awkward. Paper thin tongue doesn’t provide much comfort. Brought online otherwise would pass if I had fit tested in store.
Almost perfect for meCertainly not the same type of shoe the Vapor line has been known for in the past, but I actually love this one too. Simple fit, super comfortable upper. Stable and supportive midsole. Love the Zoom Air unit in the forefoot, but I also miss it in the heel. If the shoe had both it would be perfect for me. I personally like a softer fitting shoe that is fast and low to the ground, which is why I loved the Vapor since the days of RF. This version is not as fast around the court but the trade off is added support, which is fine for me. I thought the super thin tongue would be an issue but I experienced no lace bite whatsoever. Keep in mind that I like a relaxed fit so I am not one to crank on the laces. I have a rather wide foot and the soft toe box wraps comfortably around it. No break-in period for me, these felt good to go straight out of the box.
Worst pair I have usedThese are the worst pair I have used. After a few weeks they got a hole in the toes. I am very disappointed.
Good shoe, tip needs more Im a heavy slider on hard courts, works well for that. Need more hard material around the tip toe area, its ripping a little.
break them inGreat all-around shoe. Stable, comfortable and light weight as you play tennis. The only con is you need break them in unlike the previous Vapors. Like, two days of tennis and then you're good to go.
NO GOOD, rolled ankles - Last version betterEvery time Nike creates a shoe that I love they follow up by ruining the next one. I’m an advanced player and had loved the ability to plant on the stretch with the older version of this shoe. They were amazing and I wish I bought 10 pairs. With this new Vapor, I’ve already rolled my ankles several times. They are comfortable to walk in but feel like playing in high heels. For advanced players that slide and need to trust their hard movement on their feet, these are a risky shoe. The top does not have hard covering either so I’m already ripping through the material. They should really bring back the last version.
Best Nike Tennis Shoe in Last 3 YearsThis is the best Nike tennis shoes in the last 3 years since the Nike Zoom Vapor line of the last decade started to change (go downhill). These are not as good as the Nike Zoom Vapor 9, 9.5, X, etc. though come way closer than any shoe of the last few years. The stability is way better (no fear of rolling an ankle) and the comfort is great. The front toe of the shoe is almost a cloth material and wears way too easily after a few wears. And the biggest knock; I am one full size smaller in this than the Nike Zoom Vapors of the last 10 years. 11.5 in those and 10.5 in theses. Unfortunate as I've now purchased 3 pairs of the same shoes in different sizes (spending nearly $500) to get the right fit.
