Nope, I’ll probably stop by a different Ross tmrw though, or see if there’s more in stock at my closest store. Idk how Ross restocks work.

Hi - I’m new here so sorry if this should be asked elsewhere. Does anyone know more or less when a vapor pro 3 could come? I’m a Huge fan of the pro 1 but really dislike 2/11. And from what I read a lot of people feel similarly- so I’m hoping that Nike might take that feedback and launch a pro 3 that is closer to the 1 :)

The whole reason why they changed the Pro 1 so much was because of precisely this: the feedback for the Pro 1 was **** poor. It is very unlikely they will try to reimagine the Pro 1 again but if they do it will likely be in 2025.

Man, I don’t know what to say here. The only reason they changed it so much to @d-quik ’s point is that everyone was so pissed they took away adaptive fit from X to VP1…. Now that being said, it’s still a great shoe evidenced by Alcaraz Fritz Rune Garin and others still using the VP1. Would hope that either the X or VP1 comes back, but don’t hold your breath

One more question :)

I understand Rune, Fritz, etc.. (Nike sponsored) get Vapor Pro 1 directly from Nike but where do other players (for instance Manarino) get their stock? Did they buy a lot in the past or does Nike still produce them and supplies Pros?

I don’t think Nike provides Manarino anything (why would they do that?).
He probably buy it on his own, there are some last pairs still available on retail stores in France.

he's a top 20 pro, if they arent gonna sponsor him, im sure they'd at least get him a bulk order for a massive price break or for free

No one is buying Nike becuase of Mannarino, they are buying because alcaraz and sinner are wearing nike

Can anyone comment on the upper durability/heat retention of the leather white/blue 9.5s?
Hi. New member here...I know a lot of people were asking this same question which was also a concern of mine before I purchased. My pair came in late October and I've been playing very consistently at a 3.5+ level 2-3 times a week in them. So far I am very happy with the durability of the leather. Havent had any issues, they're still as comfortable as day 1. I know it's been autumn/winter but I live in Los Angeles and the heat retention also has been a non issue. My previous pair of Vapors were 11s tho so not much frame of reference in that regard. Curious to see for my next pair if I stick with leather or go for the Red pair. Hope that helps!

Great, thank you! Wanted to stock up on some before the supply is gone

Durability is the same as the original, not ideal, but that’s why we buy vapors

Heat retention is there, but less so than the synthetic leather from 2012

Does anyone know what sort of time cycle these run on? Very keen to see what comes out next and when. I love mine and while they are doing fine at the moment, I don’t want to wear them out before I can get a fresh pair, ideally in a new colorway.

Reports/rumors say there are no new colorways coming in 2024
