Yes . First try-on court of Vapor X, also got an issue something hard rub my bunion on my right foot... After several hours , I thought the issue solved.. felt much comfortable on Vapor X and I felt same comfort as wearing Vapor 9.5 and still switched back and forth between those shoes...

However I feel more confident to wear Vapor 9.5 when playing single match due to better lateral support..
 
There seem to be two versions: one with a blue backing and another with a transparent-white backing .... it's true??
 
New color for the X. Maybe WTF colors. Maybe we will see a black and gold X Knit too?

Yes, very similar to this, but flyknit; probably should be combined with.

Is anyone having issues with these wearing out quickly on the toe? I’ve only played about 10 hours in mine and I’ve already worn through the plastic on the toe, starting to grind into the knit now...
 
I wanted to provide an update on my Vapor X Knit. They are the most comfortable and coolest looking shoes I’ve ever had but the durability has bummed me out. I’m 20-30 hours into them and I’ve ground through the knit on the toes and I’ve exposed the hard black plastic inner structure of the shoe. Has anyone else got to this point on their knits? If so, how many hours do I have until I’ve got exposed toes! For reference, I’m not a heavy toe dragger and am usually pretty easy on my shoes.
 
I found mine to be slightly thinner than my V10 Clays, although this was fine for me; maybe it's virtually the same size shoe inherently, but with the sock liner added there is less room?
Certainly one of my favourite shoes cosmetically.

Would love to hear more thoughts when people get a chance to try them out (a TW review on the way, perhaps?) - nearly out of 9.5’s and may finally make the jump

Played a few proper sets in them yesterday, held up well. Right shoe is now very comfy, still a bit of pressure to sort in the left. Traction and stability felt good, and the sock liner does adapt nicely to your foot. Pleased so far, although be warned, the chrome swoosh scuffs very easily

so what ended up happening to these? Did you guys stop using it? Used it until it fell apart? Sold it? What is/was/will it be replaced by? How is it vs the React Vapor NXT?!

I’m still playing in mine (very limited playing opportunities with the whole pandemic thing…) and they’ve held up fine. Still quite snug fitting and the rubber studs on the wear areas are pretty worn down. Because of my limited and broken up play time in them, haven’t become as attached to them as previous models but technically pretty solid

Agreed. I also laced mine where the laces don’t crossover until the second eyelet and this took some of the tightness off the top of my foot as well. Definitely a non issue for me after a couple court hours as the shoe stretches a bit
