He briefly tested vapor x version but still it was customized for him in my memory but he returned to his custom vapor 9.5.
I read the 9/9.5 has a less durable outsole than the X. Of course they are speed shoes so they probably won’t last that long but it is just a couple extra hours.
Vapor 9.5 is still probably my favorite pair of shoes in terms of comfort and speed BUT the outsole was horrendous even when I used it as a 12-year-old. Would love to have a stock of 9/9.5's like yours to get me through at least the first couple years of college ;/
Must be nice. Nike should sell theseAnyone know what Nishikori is wearing? Prior to this year, it looked like he was wearing custom colorway Vapor X’s but now it appears that he backtracked and is using custom 9.5s? It’s really hard to tell with any pictures but I can kind of see the Vapor 9/9.5 pattern on the side of the shoe where the plastic was. Can anyone confirm?
I'd actually die to get those shoes, close to perfect in my opinion. Wish you could customize shoes like this on Nike with the outsole and the side guard and everything.
I just saw some of his PE shoes on the big bidding site and took screenshots to share here of the big differences he has vs the public. They are like a combined version shoe made up of 48% Vapor Tour 9.5 (some of the plastic outside "wrapping", most outsole (w/ slight difference), whole toe guard), 48% Air Zoom Vapors (other part of plastic piece on outside ("teeth"), exterior of shoe that connects bottom of shoe with top/laces), and just (about... maybe less than) 4% Courtballistec 3.4 (inside slide guard area).
P.S. the last photo is the clay version of his outsole
