I purchased my pair of red and black Nike Vapors 9.5 from Tennis Warehouse and the rubber sole is coming unglued at the top of the shoe (I wish that I could post a photograph). I've played with those shoes twice and they are brand new. I've been buying Nike Vapors 9.5 since the model came out and I've never had this problem. I called Nike customer service today but they want me to send them the pair and pay for the shipping costs. I was further told that it will take 6-8 weeks for Nike to evaluate whether it's indeed a manufacturing defect. Should Nike decide that it is, they will send me a new pair; but I won't get reimbursed for shipping costs even after Nike decides that it's a manufacturing defect! To me, that's a rip off. In any case, it looks to me like Nike is actively discouraging people from claiming. Nike Vapors 9.5 are ridiculously expensive shoes and I expected better from their customer service. I was told by Niketo get in touch with Tennis Warehouse "to see what they could do for me;" I have not yet received a reply. This experience has soured me on Nike and after years of buying only Vapors (we're talking dozens of pairs), I may change to something else.
