Nike Vapor 12 PRM

This special-edition Vapor 12 sports colors that nod to NYC and its love for basketball. With a reworked upper and traction pattern, it's lighter and more responsive than the 11. And we brought back Air Zoom cushioning, so you can always be on the attack—even in the city that never sleeps.

Benefits

• Full midfoot fit band allows you to pull the laces tighter to enhance the fit and enable fast cuts.
• Updated from the 11, midsole foam in-between the TPU and rubber helps keep you light on your feet.

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).

Zoom It

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

Lighter Load

The herringbone traction pattern is made of our new rubber compound that’s lighter than Vapors of the past. 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 Poweer

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 and medial forefoot.
