Nike GP Challenge 1.5
Style #IQ5179
Men's Clay Court Tennis Shoes
The GP Challenge 1.5 helps you serve and swing with confidence. With Air Zoom units and side-to-side stability, it’s made to unleash your inner might and smash whatever comes your way when it’s match point.
Red-Dirt Ready
Nike Claybreaker technology helps give you enhanced traction and less buildup on clay courts. Added grip in the forefoot and midfoot work with a wide traction pattern to help you slide with control. We used traction maps, pressure maps and analyzed clay buildup areas for the design. Then we tested it on red-clay courts in Europe in multiple clay-weather conditions (cold, warm, wet and dry).
Durable Traction
Extra rubber in the toe area, specifically the big-toe side, adds durability. High-abrasion rubber in the forefoot offers durability and traction. We updated the toe skins for increased durability in a high-wear zone.
Zoom, Zoom
A forefoot Air Zoom unit helps you play on your toes and puts a pop in your first step. A heel Air Zoom unit provides support.
Stay in Motion
A strong midfoot plastic plate adds stability for quick cuts and power to your game when transferring energy from motion to motion. Webbing around the eyestays combined with the plate offer a "hugged" containment when moving side-to-side. The heel is extra padded to help keep you comfortable and supported.
More Benefits
- The heel is specifically designed for rocker-like movements, like pulling back for a serve.
- We added a gusset to the tongue to keep it from sliding to the side during the heat of play.
- We updated the upper to provide more space in the forefoot compared to the original GP Challenge.
