A bit heavier. Not as stretchy as it is far less mesh. But hella good looking. I think I could make a 10.5 regualr Vapor work but I dont think there will be any stretching in the foams so they gotta go

Definitely a '12' on the heel.
I think a players racquet should do the talking. With that being said, I love a good, coordinated NIKE tennis outfit. This is not one of those outfits.Definitely a '12' on the heel.

Not a fan of the South Beach colorway? 
It's, ummmm, interesting.Not a fan of the South Beach colorway?
But I'd wear whatever said company told me to if there were that many zeros behind my paycheck.

I'm sure Rafa has a say in the design and colors tho.
I am sure he does. But neither the wristbands nor the jacket matches the French Open outfit. I wonder how it looks like. Does he take it from Mallorca, or do they deliver it to him at a given tournament. Anyway, it looks sloppy.
I don't like switching shoes either. In he end, he has different shoes altogether. How is it supposed to drive sales?

I think he switched shoes out of necessity/performance. We've seen him switch from the 4's to the 3's before, so it's nothing new. The difference this time was that it was a non-matching colorway. Maybe weather/humidity made him change, cuz of the different materials? For sure it'll be interesting to see what he wears in his next round.

Maybe he likes more the previous lacing system. Because his C4 has the traditional tongue.

Yep, the lacing system can definitely be a reason. Even with the altered version on his PE's, maybe he still didn't feel comfortable.
I wish all the current Cages came with separate, traditional tongues. I hate the wrap-around style.

Basically, they should’ve never ditched the 3’s. Sources say that Rafa has been quoted as agreeing with me with...very much 100% of the effort, no? ....and that he doesn’t have the shoulders for these two ton Roland-Garros balls. Good thing Soderling didn’t pop up unannounced.

Naomi's colorway.
Perhaps I’m in the minority but I thought the 3s were a hot mess and love the 4s. Of course Rafa wears a custom shoe that’s pretty much ballastec 4.3 with cage 3 aesthetics.

I like both, but love the VC4 kind of CB 4.3 vibe which was the last well supportive and durable shoe from nike
Me, too. They remind me a lot of the 4.3

Anyone get the solar red crew shipped out yet from midwest? And is the black teal volt crew still out there anywhere?
I’m relying on my local place for that, but they usually get stuff early and don’t have it yet.
could i know the source where you get such a high quality photos of tennis player, tksYep, the lacing system can definitely be a reason. Even with the altered version on his PE's, maybe he still didn't feel comfortable.
