NikeCourt Zoom Vapor 11 (2023)

[airchallenge2]

Apparently it’s the height/length of the grass on a grass court. Specifically at Wimbledon.

Really cool info about the "8mm". What I don't understand is why the outsole is not grass court specific? Obviously the bottom is designed for hard court use.

Arli come on... you don't understand why Nike isn't selling a special edition shoe with an extremely rare and specialized outsole?

8mm of BS (~1/3" for you Imperialists).

Sorry if this has already been covered: Is the ZV11 higher or lower riding than the ZVC4? I'm concerned about stability if the 11 is much higher.

They’re about the same.. the 11 feel more stable than the cage IMO

Thanks for that (dog to dog) insight!
Just have to wait for the purple & green colour way.

Is the sizing of the 11s similar to the VP2?

In my experience I wear the same size in both, yes.

I think these are the best cosmetic so far; hoping for clay court version.

“Colorway”.. cosmetic is the dumbest noun Jonas has introduced to the tennis world. Then again English isn’t his first language I assume.

Your use of two dots outside of your somewhat gratuitous American English double quotation marks after “'Colorway'” (note reformatting of colons) is disturbing; it is not an accepted linguistic format, even in - sniff - American English. You could have at least used three dots - although this would still be technically incorrect - but perhaps less incorrect - or even a colon, although to do the latter would be tantamount to sending a man on a boy's errand. ‘Cosmetic’ should have also been within quotation marks as it is a word referenced from a quote. Touche my friend.

At least we both learned something lol

 

[jmacdaununder2]

Lol!

Anyone have an idea when the air max ‘95 colorway is being released?

You cut me deep, @Torps. You cut me real deep just now...

Trying to cut Jonas deep lol.. you know he reads the forums!

If US11 posted them in Feb, that would mean May or June timeframe.

Was this mentioned anywhere? Are they doing these?

 

[Torps]

This may be in regards to the Vapor 9.5 not the 11

 

[Nostradamus]

is this good shoes ?

Vapor 11 in AM95 colours fyi ^

 

[Slicehand]

I dont know how people can get their feet in there, i have pretty normal feet and everytime i try out a pair of nikes my feet are so stuffed in there, arch, toes, everything, i have been lately using barefoot shoes and now i cant use almost any tennis shoe, but nikes are specially unrespectful to my feet

I like it. Visually it looks very, very heavy and I am sure it is not. Still like it.

The only recent Nike tennis shoes that have fit me are the Court Zoom NXT. Everything else has been way too narrow and stingy, or just downright not comfortable.

Yeah, Nike did good with these. I’m hoping they’ll fit my foot.

 

[Chopin]

How's the stability of the 11s? It was upsetting to see Andreescu suffer her injury in Miami. I'm by no means saying it was it the shoes since she's competing at the pro level and that type of I jury could happen with any shoe, but it got me wondering about the stability of these.

I find them to be more generous than the Cage. It is plush too so that will play out after a few hours on court and open up a teeny bit more room

I wondered if this was the colorway that people were talking about. Nothing posted mentioned anything about the AM95, nor does is really look anything like it. The colors aren't even really the same. Sweet looking shoe, regardless. Would love GP Turbos or Cage 4's in this color.

 

[ryushen21]

Are we ever going to get a Cage 5?

 

[Znak]

Finaaallly got around to trying out the 2s/11s in store. Very comfy straight out, I think I preferred the fit of the 2s, although I find the toebox long and narrow. I find odd on both how the outside flap doesn't cinch down with the laces though just kind of hangs there. Will most likely cop both when on sale, decent replacement for the zoom nxt/cage 3 it seems.

 

[Slicehand]

They are great if you wanna punish your toes

They do kinda resemble the OGs.

 

[ryushen21]

How's the comfort on the V11 or VP2 compared to the VC4? I found the VC4 to be incredibly comfortable and would like to find something with a similar level of comfort.

 

[Torps]

VP2 is more comfy unless you have wide feet.. V11 is comfy everywhere except the tongue

 

[ryushen21]

Sounds like the V11 will be it then.

 

[Torps]

Both went back for different reasons, but VP2 were pinching my instep even more than the VP1. I probably would've kept the V11 if the toe durability was better.

 

[VAPORHEAD]

What has more midsole cushioning? ZV11 or VP2?

And are they more cushioned than VP1?

 

[Torps]

V11 easily more than both

What is Nikes current shoe for sliding? Been flying into too many curtains lately

 

[Torps]

Barricade

Either of the Vapors and the Cage 4 isnt too shabby either. Though sliding comes a lot from the legs not as much from the shoes. The best thing a shoe can do is make the upper more durable for sliding and have a wider tread which all of these have

Haven't seen any Vapor Pro 2's or 11's in league play yet. Have seen some juniors in the Pro 2.

doesn't it feel like lead weight tied to you ankles ?

 

[d-quik]

no it feels like three hundred kabillion galaxies tied around your ankles. the weight is so unbearable, worse than armored medieval greaves for sure. if bublik just takes them off, that will be 50 slams in a row easily but he is a nice guy and want to give the other guys a chance.
