OMG... Boris... Be patient...
Believe Australian open next year. Looks like a much better shoe from a pic I saw. And no I don’t have pics.

Will it still have a 6-month outsole guarantee? Considering it is picking up the Vapor name

I'm not sure. I have only seen stock images and not the product description.
Eventually any half-word on the design? Thanks
My Nike rep stated that they plan to have the durability guarantee at this time, but that doesn't mean they will continue with that come the release date. Just preliminary plans.

seriously. these are painfully ugle.. with the hidden laceholes in front. is this really them?
The design Edmund is wearing looks similar of the rendering of Nadal on the Tennis Spree page so I'd say..yes..Nadal is expected to be wearing some custom version of the Vapor 4 Cage.

The leaked pics (over on Niketalk) show more of the upper design. It's interesting - it looks like the outsole kinda wraps upwards onto the medial toebox. It's Venom-esque. Kinda cool. The top-down view reminds me of a CourtBallistec (1.3) and less of a "Cage" shoe since there doesn't seem to be that 'cage' overlay anymore.

Yeah. I still would rather it be a ZZ2 than a Cage 4... but whatever. It's a new shoe to get excited about because the current Cage doesn't work for me with all that exposed plastic shank on the outsole... new one seems to have rubber throughout the outsole (which adds to weight, so why call it a "vapor"?).
Hopeful for the stability of the cage and comfort of the zeros.

Just saw these. They look great. Glad they're using elements of the Air ZZ.

Ohyeah, dang I wonder if they'll be released sooner than later... man love that PJ on Roger's racquet too

Don't understand the mixing of the 2 silos...Vapor has traditionally been the "speed" focused range and the Cage/Ballistec/Breathe has been the "power/stability/durable". Maybe these attributes are not mutually exclusive, but it's a big ask to create a "one shoe to rule them all".

Yes it is, but from a marketing perspective they need to find a way to get 'Roger's' shoe on Rafa's feet; this shoe probably wouldn't exist without Uniqlo.

To be fair, Nike did make the Cage 3 much lighter than the previous versions and pretty low to the ground with decent durability... at the cost of comfort and cushioning. I wouldn't be surprised by an attempt from Nike to restore some comfort to the shoe.

In my eyes, the Cage 3 was an atrocity. The upper east that supportive after it stretched (and it stretched a lot), nor did it stand up to toe dragging. The shank was prone to cracking, and it just looked weirdly organic, like alien goo.
Hopefully they take some cues from the Vapor upper and inject some life into Rafas shoes.

To be fair I feel like they improved them in later iterations — ideally, they should have launched the 3 like that. My 3rd pair seemed to hold up as long as the Cage 2 and I'm a toe dragger.
Agreed. I hated the rounded heel, it felt very unstable at all times. I have big hopes for the VaporThing.

Wow — how did that happen?! They definitely don't look like they have the same support as previous iterations, almost look like a speed shoe. Curious to hear your feedback when you get them! $61 bargain deal too haha
