Nike Vapor 12 "Aryna Sabalenka"

Aryna Sabalenka is known for her powerful, yet graceful play. That's why we looked to classic ballet motifs to set her up for France's biggest stage in tennis. A reworked upper and lightweight rubber outsole make it more responsive than the 11. Accents, graphics and the sequin Swoosh logo all play up the polarity of every star on the stage.

Zoom It

A heel Air Zoom unit helps keep you supported and springy throughout your match.

Stick and Cut

The herringbone traction pattern is made with a rubber compound that’s lighter than Vapors of the past. It allows you to decelerate, plant and back into position without feeling like you’re rounding off your cuts.

Lighter Load

We brought back the firm midfoot plastic piece seen on past Vapors to provide optimal stability and transitions when cutting from side to side. The supportive piece also allowed us to remove the rubber in the midfoot, which helps reduce the overall weight of the shoe.

Transfer the Power

A firm foot frame wraps around the supportive midfoot plate and spans from heel to toe, giving you more of a secure feel. It helps give you the stability to transfer power during aggressive slides, cuts and pivots.

Lightweight Upper

We reduced the weight of the engineered mesh while maintaining durability in high-wear zones by the toe.

More Benefits

• Full midfoot fit band allows you to pull the laces tighter to enhance the fit and enable fast cuts.
• Midsole foam in between the plastic and rubber, which wasn’t on the Vapor 11, helps keep you light on your feet.
