Rafa Turf & Surf VC4s look somewhat passable only; what scatophile at Nike decided that the tennis world needs yet more poop coloured clothing?

 

[d-quik]

Will they discontinue cage 4 finally in 2025?

Its the color of the earth in the Australian outback. I find it quite nice really

I think is repetitive that kind of misterious tale to back some ugly and missmatched combinations especially at the AO... this year was regarding topography or something like that, 2020 was about some dessert(?) to justify how to put sparkles on the side of the shoes with gum soles and the unwearable track suit used by Dimitrov. Hopefully Nike comes together with something allusive to the venue and still give something fresh and nice to use without having to explain to much why since is nice for most of nike users

Beyond the show items they always release toned down items as well. The players just wont be wearing all of them. Take a few deep breaths.

edit: screw that. Dimitrov has been wearing basic white and black lately. Nike releases a ton of stuff and the pros all wear different stuff im sure you will find something you like

I don't mean to be rude or something like that, I liked last years RG range but AO from the last few years.... well, thats all. Thanks for the info as always

I feel like if this shirt is anything to go off of we will have some colors coming besides the brown

Actually green is also a big colour for the AO but thats all I will say for now.

More Osaka crap?! Seriously???

 

[Znak]

More Osaka crap?! Seriously???

"Endorsed by" chill my man.

 

[jmacdaununder2]

It’s perfect; she can endorse the shoe without ever actually playing in it - or any other shoe for that matter.

 

[HBK4life]

More Osaka crap?! Seriously???

The pain continues

 

[Rosstour]

More Osaka crap?! Seriously???

If you could take a break from the anti-woke thoughts, you'd see this is great news.

There will be an update to the GP Turbo and it has spawned a takedown version as well. The article referred to the Osaka GP Challenge, and also to a GP Challenge Pro. That means that Nike are thoroughly invested in a highly cushioned shoe that will likely have a full-foot Zoom Air unit...maybe even two of them.

If I remember correctly, there was a possibility of a wide version in 2024.

Thanks,

I think the model that will replace the turbo gp will be this: zoom gp challenge pro...
The zoom gp challenge 1 will probably be a budget version of the latter.
I don't know if anyone has any more info on this, thanks

I think it's the opposite. The 1 is the premium model and the Pro is the budget model.

The 1 has cutouts in the lateral side support structure (reduced weight), a translucent toe guard material (reduced weight), and a seemingly more structurally sophisticated outsole outrigger wrap-around thing going on (all compared to the Pro model). Also, the 1 model has the Air Zoom call-out suggests a full length unit from the outsole pic.

And that "Pro" vs "#" naming-convention fits with the existing Vapor Pro (2) and Vapor 11 scheme.

But of course, we're all jus arm-chair detectives right now since real models aren't out yet.

I agree ... excellent reconstruction

Most sellers over a certain $ amount have to authenticate the items through Fleabay.

I've been selling off my tennis gear and had to authenticate a N98 Fed jacket that sold for $150. So it isn't just shoes.

 

[fox]

Can’t wait for this Turbo replacement hopefully in normal men sizes as well (seems they kind of rebrand them from Naomi to Frances so I guess they are tor men too).

No. As a buyer you are protected by their authenticity guarantee.

Yes but what i was worried about is shoe was sitting in the box for 3 years and i was told sometimes the Zoom air cushioning hardens and cushioning isn't the same ??

 

[d-quik]

Then why didnt you say you were worried about age as opposed to worried about authenticity then?

i was worried about Both acutually

 

[gino]

honestly surprised nike has tiafoe in the new GP 5 months prior to release

anyone know when that is supposed to drop? assuming SP24

 

[d-quik]

i was worried about Both acutually

interesting how you only mentioned one concern then suddenly reveal the second one right after a solution was found to the first one

 

[Rosstour]

Yes but what i was worried about is shoe was sitting in the box for 3 years and i was told sometimes the Zoom air cushioning hardens and cushioning isn't the same ??

Who told you that? I've only read that the Zoom Air would theoretically stay soft longer, because it's air and not all foam in there.

Mine perform awesome despite being 2-3 years old now.

One other bad with zoom air unit is the squeeking noise it starts to make after about 6 months. some does it even sooner. not sure if that is due to defect or just zoom getting old ??

All Nike shoes have a manufactured date (range) on the tag inside the shoe. If the seller has not posted pictures of that tag you could always message them and ask for pictures or at least ask to let you know the date on them. I have done this a couple of times for the exact concern you have, most good sellers are happy to comply

**** checks the shoes before you receive them.

 

[brownbearfalling]

the color of the shoes clashed with tiafoe USO outfit. They stood out to me. Any other thoughts about the new model? I’m interested if it has a full length zoom like the gp turbos. Is it just me or does the shoe look like it has severe heel drop? This shoe looks like a running shoe (nike Pegasus) with some lateral support pieces

I definitely agree, would have looked better in that variation of turquoise

 

[Koriroo]

Hmm based on the images do you guys think these shoes will be better for low arches?

 

[SDN]

Any rumors of other tennis shoes based on jordan shoes..can anyone confirm?

 

[Nostradamus]

This is one heck of a Ugly shoes... but i sure hope it has as good of cushioning as the GP turbo ??

why did they make it so ugly.. GP Turbo was such a beautiful shoes...

 

[teckid]

Kinda reminds me of when the first CourtBallistec 1.3 came out, it looked like a tank and not a tennis shoe, almost like a skateboarding shoe. But overtime it leveled out and not does not look out of place. I'm all for Nike trying to break the tennis shoe mold and at least try something new; the Vapor 9 was originally strange as it looked like a running shoe upper. Problem is, some of their latest attempts of stretching for a new performance designs didn't go so well: both Zoom NXT, Ultra React HC.

Fingers crossed this one is good!

Yeah me too. I am glad Nike tries new things. The GP Turbo is far from what I would consider a good looking shoe though
