Love the colors, not the shoe. Would be a dope vapor.

Ugh, lucky you. The longer I coach the more I hate hard courts.

Friends, my pair just arrived so thought I'd share pics. Haven't played tennis in a few months due to back to back issues, but hoping to pick it back up shortly and get back in the grind as summer is coming up!
I sized half a size up and they fit very nicely. Definitely a better shoe than Zoom Zero for me in every aspect. I'm coming from Adidas SCB and Babolat SFX3 for reference. Foot is more on the slightly wider side than long & narrow. Have been placing premium on cushioning lately as well.
These Black/Obsidian are gorgeous in person btw. Wife loves them too.

Awesome colorway. Was admiring them on Tiafoe’s feet in Miami.

Should I order true to size or half size up. I wear 10 in the cage 4 and asics court ff and ff2. Most other shoes I wear 10.5.

Great that women's colors are starting to look nice.... men's are atrocious. Are there any older colorways that were decent? I feel like they are trying to accentuate the worst features of this shoe. I'm waiting to buy a pair though the latest posted men's shoe on this page isn't horrible..

Can’t comment on the arch, but in regards to the weight, honestly I can’t feel that they are on the heavier side. I had vapor 9.5s before this shoe and I can’t feel the difference in weight.

But TWE says dropping 5/21. Maybe US will have better luck.

Wow, you're right. I just sourced those photos this morning too. They're still hosting the images so maybe they're not available for purchase yet.
Maybe get the style number from another site and call Nike to check availability.

Went to buy but had to remove them. "Due to manufacturer's restrictions..." Can't buy Nike from TWE if you're in the US I guess? Here's hoping they release stateside.

And now they are up on TW. $140 in the US.

Just bought a pair of GP Turbos and I think there might be an issue with them.
When I lift the insole; the full length airbag immediately under the insole feels deflated.
Before I go through the whole process of returning the shoes I just wanted to check whether anybody can confirm the full length airbag under the insole should feel fully inflated and very springy or whether maybe it is only partially filled.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Just picked up the white/red/blue colorway.... Gotta say the comfort on these has been emphasized so much that I was a bit underwhelmed. I also sized up on recommendation but these are still ridiculously long as the Vapor Cage 4's were, but not as bad.
I was expecting something great.
Currently have the Wilson Amplifeel 2's and looking for a more comfortable alternative or perhaps an upgrade....

So, I went ahead and ordered another pair of identical shoes from nike.com.
The full length integrated air insole is as partially deflated as the GP Turbos I ordered elsewhere. So that solved that conundrum.
i’d say the GP Turbon is about as cushioned as the Cage 4s actually.
Both are pretty well cushioned (with a Sorbothane insole!)
i agree, I have been underwhelmed by the comfort / cushioning too. Now I’m lumbered with 2 pairs. I find the Cage 4’s have better cushioning…

I would trade a new pair of cage 4s in size 10 for turbos if they are size 10.5. I can slide and move more intense with the turbos.

they have the awesome gold black turquoise colorway up on sale for $105, is that a good deal for these shoes if i wanted to try them? i just bought a new pair of Vapor Cage 4s that I have not even tried yet
Been looking everywhere and 100ish is solid. 80 is the cheapest that can be found for older less desirable colors

It feels like my left sneaker went flat today. Felt like it had a bubble under the front pad of the foot and when pressure is
put down the bubble went flat. It would come up again when pressure was placed on the heal. Now after 20 min of playing
like that it just feels flat. Has anyone have a Nike air go flat on them?

Alright gave this shoe another go in my normal size. Picked up the Ombre ones as I could wear it casually as well.
Fit was reallly tight to begin with but has opened up quite a bit. My true size is still narrow and long, but neither is an issue after it is stretched and broken in. It is now much more comfortable. Bounce is good so it promotes more court movement. Helps be more mobile and on your toes. My knees and legs are still shot from overplaying so will update next week on how everything feels.
Still not sure on the "comfort" for these shoes. I guess I haven't had a poor comfort shoe or the Wilson Amplifeel 2's are very comfortable. The upper forms to the foot well, but there's no real cushion which is what I suspect is causing my knee and leg pain.
Getting a little heel slippage out of the box but lacing it up all the way should take care of the issue.
Primarily got this for my serve with comfort as a secondary concern. I'm pretty short and have a strong serve but need the extra vertical height. So far so good.
Yeah happens. Try the warranty process for defects.
