I see what you're saying and until we try them out it's all speculation, but that's what I'm a little concerned with. I don't think the VP3 looks any more durable or comfy than the VP2, so with the cage 4s likely being discontinued and the vapor 12 diverging from the vapor 11, where is the high end durable/supportive shoe in Nike's lineup?

Cage may stick around in some form, Rafa is getting a lifetime deal

 

[airchallenge2]

I think we may be back

Nope, not back yet.

 

[Roller_coaster1015]

these vapor 12's have some of my favorite uppers I've ever seen. seems they took inspiration from vp2 and v11. That looks like some very soft and comfortable materials on that upper. Seems it will rap around your foot in a very comfortable way, excited!

 

[Roller_coaster1015]

if vapor pro 3 is coming dec 20 why no preorder or advertising for it by now??? Were 3 days out.

 

[innoVAShaun]

gino,

Currently, the Vapor Pro 3 is scheduled to launch on December 20th and the Vapor 12 in early February.

Thanks,
Brittany, TW

Has anybody figured out the differences between the VP3 and V12? Will the VP3 finally be the takedown model of the VP12 or is it going to be another VP2 vs. V11 where most people end up opting for the VP2 because of the lighter weight instead of the flagship VP11

VP3 is basically a VP2, noone knows about the V12

Based on players playing in it and the pics, the outsole looks thicker on VP3 over VP2. Comfort no way for us to tell without trying them on or reviews. I guess reviews will come Dec 20th or so

Doesn't look like it to me. VP3 looks like the outsole is thicker than VP2.

Basically the same shoe. Nearly identical

I love they updated the lacing system, especially the lateral side of the shoe. I don't like those ribbon lace loops of the VP2. They dug into my ankle.

Hoping we get them a bit earlier at retail here in Melbourne to coincide with AO.

Usually, one of the Nike flagships here carries the AO line in store from week the AO starts, and the last few years they've had the main Vapor (V11, VNXT), and an Osaka shoe.

 

[Robert F]

I'm still amazed how different it is from the Vapor 11. I imagine it is going to be a very different shoe.

As someone said in the other thread, looks like a Vapor 12-material upper but still with the same mold as the VP1, with the Air Zoom midsole and seems to be a Vapor X/VP1 outsole. At least it looks more like a Vapor 12 than his previous custom VP1 to look like a V11 ever did.

 

[Dae18]

I can definitely see him switching to this with a custom lay up mixed with the VP1. Probably outsole/shank of the VP1, the rubber side piece near the midsole from VP1 as well

these vapor 12 shoes look like they have that same lateral pointy edge like the vp2 shoes in these photos. I liked that.

 

[Babolast]

So fresh and oh so clean.

 

[Hansen]

why don‘t they just release the alcaraz custom vapors ? they look still way better than these vapor 12

Still Vapor Pro outsole

Nice catch

 

[Dae18]

Waiting for him to rock the Hypersmash V12

 

[innoVAShaun]

I'm a sucker for black socks and white shoes lately

Still Vapor Pro outsole

Zooming in, Alcaraz has a vapor 12 with vapor pro 1 sole; so, if it stays like this, it is still a vapor 12 shoe that differs only in the sole... If you like, a bit like Federer.
The prevalence of the white color, with inserts of other colors is an excellent solution.

Good comparison with fed - he basically used the same outsole/last from 2005 onwards. We could see something similar with CA

Speaking of shoes, Dimitrov have been spotted wearing all white out shoes which appeared to be the Vapor 12s but could be a Lacoste prototype which looks like a Vapor

Dimitrov also saw with adidas ubersonic 5.....Thread ubersonic V

 

[airchallenge2]

Clean and simple, kinda like Vans' Era. Interesting that this guy is using all the eyelets.

At the moment, Kyrgios and Alcaraz vapor 12...
Will Sinner remain with zero zoom?...At least until the release of GP Challenge 2

sinner prob gets vapor pro 3 foot job considering the shift in design to look more like Zoom Zero

Exactly what I'm expecting as well. Would be very weird to me if he remains using a Zoom Zero with no VP3 paint job or he will do just like Alcaraz and just keep the Zoom Zero outsole. If he keeps using the Zoom Zeros after a couple of new models, I'd like to see if Nike would release a model based on his likings whith his insights on the making process

He never switched to Asics since the clay season. Sure he was testing but it’s hard to switch over to something new after using the same shoes for 10+ years.

Is there a chance we get two separate versions, one meant more as a sticky tread and a different tread meant to slide more easily?

Zero.

I’m sorry but what is this? If you want to slide with tennis shoes learn how to slide, a shoe only will make a small difference

Do you even sweat? The crew socks have a purpose and that is keep more moisture away from your feet and prevent blisters and rubbing.
Once a crew socks is on you will never go back (Tan lines prevent that)

I do indeed sweat! So much so, that the tiny bit of fabric on a crew sock would be rendered utterly pointless.
