RIP Vapor Cage 4?

It doesn't seem like there is an update for the Vapor Cage 4. I realize that he hasn't actually been wearing these shoes, but it seems crazy to me that Nike would not be putting out a Rafa shoe. Does anyone know if there is a replacement or update for the Vapor Cage 4 coming?
 
No it just seems they are keeping it out for now, perhaps until the supply chain improves and flow of materials or whatever is better.
 
I believe this is a very underrated shoe!!!
Ever since the first or second cage iteration (2010), I simply could not click with Nikes.
Based on the comfort feedback on this board, I took the plunge and ordered the 4s and boy, am I impressed or what.
Amazing fit, comfort, stability. Perfect grip. Although they feel on a heavy side in my hands, I do not feel them on my feet at all.
After two weeks of heavy (2 hours per day) use, I just love them.
I have ordered two more pairs.
Since Mizuno WET2 dropped the collar, I am curious if this shoe will be my favorite now
 
I remember 2 years ago, I was trying to "predict" Nike's product cycles and spent 2 months scouring the net for Cage 5 news whenever I had a spare moment. I (rightfully) completely gave up afterwards. Very odd to not update a shoe for that long but the Cage 4s were indeed pretty good. I was just looking forward to something new for curiosity and novelty's sake - that is to say, not that there was anything wrong with the C4s.

Still would have been nice to see what a hypothetical C5 would have been like but I guess Nike saw the inevitable retirement of the bull coming and just abandoned any C5 plans.

The best part is all C4 I got were under $100 each!

I will say for Nike it’s a good product. I like it more than the cage 3 in retrospect as it padded my foot better, but I just wish they’d update it. 5 years is a long time to have a shoe out.
 
The blue colorway coming out looks so clean

Again (as with the Hypersmash) a French Open release - this time representing the greatest clay courter of all time at his citadel no less - and Nike doesn’t even bother with a clay sole option. SMH - not that Nike AU or TO appear to be selling either option anyway.

Edit: Lemon Hypersmash available from TWE in clay court!
