Are the Vapor Pro 3's supposed to be the ones that are supposed to be the big comeback for the Vapor line? Or will that be the Vapor 12's?
Still trying to find that perfect balance of cushion (bc im older and don't like sneakers that are too flat or have bad cushion) and court feel.

The 9.5's were the last ones that really hit both things nicely. I've since switched to the Adidas Gel Resolutions bc the cushion and impact support is just so much better than what Nike is putting out lately

Based on what some folks (well a certain poster) have teased, that would be the new Vapor 12.

Sebi Korda has posted on his IG story and finally got a clear look at them, and it very much looks like a return to the Vapor X/Vapor Pro 1 silhouette with some more recent flourishes (VP2 thicker tongue padding)
 
Here’s a better look at the Zoom Vapor 12. I’d say it’s a hybrid between the Zoom Vapor 9.5 and Vapor Pro 1. Definitely can see Carlos trying this out but switching is highly unlikely

I wonder if we'll finally get a model that their actual sponsored athletes will wear instead of wearing all custom PE's or discontinued models.
I know only a handful of their athletes are wearing accessible models (IE. Tiafoe with GP Challange, Dimi with 9.5 (not an actual Nike sponser anymore though))

I feel like the majority comes from the ATP side. The WTA are a little better when it comes to actually using the current retail models (besides Sabalenka- Zoom NXT, Keys-Vapor 9.5 to name two)
As for Dimitrov he’s wearing the Vapor 9 not 9.5, plus apparently Lacoste is working on a shoe for him but we’ll see if he makes the actual switch.
