NikeCourt Zoom Vapor 11 (2023)

Interesting a clay outsole! I wonder if it's herringbone or if we have a claybreaker outsole.

Have two of these pair of shoes and the toe box is so stiff and narrow it pinches my foot big time. Medium width foot, only Nike shoe that ever do this with me. Anyone figured out how to stretch the toe box with this hard plastic?

At least someone appreciated them; claybreaker looks a bit clogged right at that moment.

the vapor 11 had some great color ways; didn't think it was a bad shoe at all

Good looking shoe for sure, and extremely durable too. Just a bit of a dead brick in terms of comfort. I still have my old V11s as a backup and the outsole and upper are remarkably fresh looking despite well over 120 hours of court time. They held up WAY better than my Barricades — I completely wore the outsole through on those.

Yeah, totally agree. Especially aesthetically wise, Nike has more room to maneuver in Vapor 11 than in Vapor 12 which I believe is a better model performance rise.

Agreed on all points
Maybe too heavy for the vapor line, but they tried something different
I wonder if they could've marked it as a VC5 maybe?
