I used to really like the Nike Court Zoom NXT as I found it to be supportive and pretty comfortable. I was also a fan of the vapor 9.5s, but go figure Nike has let go off both those. (see pictures)

Is there any similiar shoes out in the market now that compare to these shoes? So far i've tried the following and haven't be convinced on any of them:

Wilson Pro Rush: Zero support, tried a few times and almost broke my ankle every time
Asics FFs: Felt pretty clunky
Asics Gel Res 9: Killed the arch of my foot, even with my insoles
Asics Solution Speed: I kind of liked them, but I play a minimum of 2 hours a day and felt the lack of comfortability
Nike Vapor 2s: Same feeling as the Solution Speed
Nike Vapor 11s: Lacking some comfort
Adidas Barricade: The back support pierced through my achilles pretty bad
On Clubhouse: Too Clunky and soft

What are everyones thoughts on the Nike GP Challenge 1, Nike GP Challenge Pro, Adidas Ubersonic, On Rodger Pro,
 
I have a few pairs of these and just started playing with them. I love them! But before I even started playing I looked down and saw one of my eyelets had broken open. That is the Achilles Heel for these shoes

If you know about the big auction site (yabe backwards) then you can find plenty of Zoom NXT still there. Gonna be a while before they're extinct
 
GP Challenge 1 will have the most cushion with a similar springy response but might not have enough support. Ubersonics are a minimal setup so I don't think you will like those, plus the once piece knit upper might be lacking support for your tastes. Haven't played in the other 2, have heard the Rodger Pro has very firm cushion.

I'd suggest the Lacoste AG LT 23. Has a lot of support and I think the cushion is solid and in the same vein of a more responsive ride like the other Nike shoes you played in.

Honestly with as picky as it sounds like your taste in shoes might be (not judging) if those are shoes you love or can't find a shoe you enjoy playing in you would be wise to browse the E or other resell platforms to stock up on. I'm sure you can find some of those for a fair price. Also, Nike is set to release 2 new models - Vapor 12 and Vapor Pro 3 fairly soon in December or early January.
 
Slipped and fell in my NXT tonight, that is extremely rare for me. I think they are too slippery--the way I tweaked my Achilles was the way it used to happen in my Vapor 9.5, and that was always the sign that the shoe was losing too much tread.

Vapor 11s but swap out default insoles for Move All Day insoles. Made me forget all about zoom nxt or vapor 9/9.5/etc.
