Successor to Nike Zoom Vapor X circa 2018?

New Daddy

Rookie
The best tennis shoes that I've had so far were a pair of Nike Zoom Vapor X Roger Federer RF 2018 French Open.
They were flexible and felt like a pair of socks. Yet, they stabilized my feet like no other.
The newer Nike Zoom Vapor 9s that I have are more rigid and actually make my feet hurt after an hour of play or so.

I don't see the Vapor X line any more on Nike's website. What is the successor to Nike Zoom Vapor X?

Vapor pro is the closest thing you’ll get, the midsole and outsole are the same. However much more rigid, narrow, lightweight upper

Closest thing you'll get, if you are not afraid of ordering from Europe
Le Coq Sportif LCS T01

Remarkably similar, lightweight, low-to-the-ground, fast feel and similar fit. They use a similar lacing system except it is internal instead of integrated as part of the design.

I am a former Vapor X user and tried several shoes before settling on these.

yes this is a good, underrated, lesser-known recommendation

also hydrogen made shameless copies of the 9.5 which came before the X

IIRC armani also made a 9.5 copy as well but I am not sure

add also the fact nike is also making the 9.5 again

Will Nike ever release the Nike Air zoom Vapor X that Federer wore? Crimson Red?

Judging from the ho-hum reaction from tennis fans when our beloved 9.5s returned after years of us asking...probably not. They learned that trying to please the purists is always a losing game.
