Funny thing is that Ronnie Fieg's initials are... RF !
The PUMA shoes he designed has a RF monogram on the heal

Vapors are definitely by far lighter and more low to the ground than the cages so you'll get that. But they'll wear out much much faster so they'll last around a month and a half for you give or take a week or two.
Not vapor laces specifically, but New Balance makes some great aftermarket laces. You could probably get an orange to match fairly closely.

A little Volt to go with blue or some other color would be fine. But I'll pass on the whole shoe.

With all the other colorways on sale, I don't see a reason to. You can practically get 2 for 1 with some of the sales that came last month. I went a little crazy and stocked up on a few different shoes

I think federer was supposed to wear them during uso day sessions. Too bad the jordan-vapors came out for this tournament as well.

Very nice shoes, but the durability is bad.
After 1 month of using:
The durability of the Vapors 9.5 on the toe-area is awful. Wish they would address that problem in the Vapor 10

better or worse than Asics speed on match day performance
For those of you that also wore Asics Gel Speed pro. How do you think this Vapor compares to that shoes ?? Tennis magazine did Give Asics the BEST Match day shoe......... Not sure what was so superior as matchday shoe Asic was compared to this Also very lite performance shoe ??

@Jimi_HX:
Had the same problem with my 9.5s after just a few months of use. I sent them back to the online retailer and got my money back to buy some new ones.
The retailer said the problem (breaking mesh on the forefoot) is well known by nike. So I bought the clay version of the vapor 9.5 wich has a synthetic leather instead of the mesh and it works just fine - no issues during the last 9 months.

Does that Leather version also come for Hard courts ? we don't have any clay courts here , we only have hard courts.

Unfortunately I don't think so. The leather-part is basically supposed to close the shoe, so no sand/clay can come through to the inside.

That sounds so good. what if I just buy that clay version and use it for hard court tennis. would that give me same traction and no issues ?

Why would they not change the mesh material at front? It like breaks with 1 month of use.
from what I am hearing from Nike, for Vapor 10, they are going to use the Graphene material so the mesh won't break anymore.

The mesh broke mainly where they left the gap on the side, so that was always an easy fix but they didn't do it.
And what's the point of fixing this anyway if the soles lack even basic levels of durability?

Hahaha So that's why they didnt release the vapor 10 yet. Must be expensive to manufacture

The V9.5s are a downgrade compared to the V9s. Having just got onto my first pair of them after a long run of V9s it is a bit disappointing to finally realise that they made a shoes which is probably much cheaper to make (fewer materials/gluing etc). The upper material is noticeably more flimsy than on the V9s and they don't support laterally as well.

On my second day of using the 9.5s and I have to say that all the hype is true! Very light and comfy compared to the Barricade 8s that I've been using the past couple of months. Coupled with Nike Elite socks, the level of comfort is superior to any other tennis shoes I've used. Highly recommended!

Why don't they just make all of them with leather like the clay version ? shoe will just be around 14 oz which is still very light.

From my experience, I think the Vapor 9.5s are an upgrade to the Vapor 9s mainly because they added additional padding to the tongue. I have not noticed quality issues with my 9.5s but then it might be because I wear them out pretty quickly. I only play on the weekends and they last 4 months tops.

I suppose your experience must have been different than mine. Having used both v9 and v9.5 (half dozen pairs of each), I don't agree with this. The only durability difference I've noticed is that maybe the outsole of the v9.5 is a tiny bit softer (i.e. wears faster).
I'm a big fan of both versions.

I apologize if this has been answered in this thread already, but how long did it take for the vapor 9.5's to break in for you guys? I've worn mine for 5-7 hours and they still feel a little stiff.

Usually takes only 2 hours or so of hitting to break in for me.
Yeah, what will the colorway be for Wimbledon ZV9.5?

Did everyone know that the FO vapor is Persian violet and hot lava? It reminds me of us open 2014 day vapor but hot lava swoosh and with white tongue and laces..
