🎾 Official Nike Tennis (and other brands as well) Thread 🎾
It's a little murky in the last few years, everyone please chime in if you have better insights:
- V9 replaced by V9.5
- V9.5 replaced by VX (all of these had heel zoom, and latest design/tech in uppers/midsole, low to the ground, lightweight, speed feel)
------ diversion happend here ------
- VP1 - The traditional Vapor feel moved to the VP1 (same outsole as VX, new fit frame)
- V11 - The next gen newest tech moved to all new V11 (although bulkier than traditional Vapor feel, almost more like a lighter weight Cage. This started most of the confusion as the marquee Vapor was not looked at as the "players shoe" (only a few pro used them).
- VP1 replaced by VP2 (redesign, Zoom moved to forefoot, but still aimed at the traditional Vapor feel, most Vapor user/Pros preferred this to the V11)
- VP2 updated to the VP3 (same midsole, new upper)
- V11 replaced by V12 (unknown on how it feels compare to previous, but spy images suggest a lighter weight updated tech version with traditional Vapor feel rather than the bulky V11)
Line Up Differences:
VP2, 3s - Traditional feel, forefoot zoom, but V2/V3 seems to move to a takedown compared to V11/V12's tech. Feels low to the ground, slipper fit, lightweight, speed.
V11s - support feel, tech forward midsole (translucent TPU sidewalls), forefoot zoom; these things are bricks (but I like them!). They positioned it at the latest in speed and lightweight, but it really doesnt feel like that, feels blocky and less flexible.
V12s - Will know more when they come out, but seems to be a latest tech but with traditional Vapor slipper feel and true successor to the VX.

Ad hominems aside please acknowledge your sources in future; there are numerous examples on here of you blaspheming others for not doing so when you post information - nefariously I might add, as far as Nike is concerned - from their catalogues.

I think is a bit more expensive to make just one desing for one season than keeping the same template until the end.

Hyperdunk 09 details on the new vapor chassis (also gives heavy Vapor 6 vibes overall with the flyknit) is a recipe to take my $$$ next year. Maybe they're bringing back the combo/hyrbrid shoes from the Vapor 9.5/X line (vapor foamposite, vapor air max, vapor Aj3, etc.)? Even though it's weird because they clearly aren't that invested in tennis from a product perspective but perhaps there is renewed energy somehow.

baby! Vapor 9.5\X all day. The air max 95 and AJ3s were incredible. Like 6 pair minimum if they release those again, only issue is they’ll be all hard court soles but whateve. These hypersmashes look interesting 
baby. If they light weight we on

Hoping that them having #1 and #2 locked up for many years to come will intrduce some god damn innovation in the tennis lineup.

I've seen this float around lately.
Not very familiar with the hyperdunks though.
Were these originally basketball shoes?

Thanks. You think the Hypersmash will be based on the Vapor 12 foundation or the VP3?Yep, back in, around (IIRC), 2008 or so.

The hypersmash is a one off colorway based on the vp12, just with the flywire upper and some other elements.
