Nike Vapor Pro 2 Performance Review From The Inside Out

Nike Court Zoom NXT Teardown: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaPUnap3l7xlbdU

[@sexyminh]

When can you do a review in the Vapor 11s, Zach. Really appreciate the early reviews. Your always the go to shoe reviewer we can all trust! 👐🤝🏆

[@cyh5543]

Would you say the outsole durability is 4/5 in regards to wear but not as durable as the vapor cage 4 and vapor react nxt's? How does it compare to nikes old XDR rubber outsoles? Also do these run long? You mentioned a 2E go true to size but for me the 9.5US vapor pro's were still too long even though i tried a vapor pro wide. Are these same length as the vapor pro's?

[@cyh5543]

Zach have you done the dremmel test on the old XDR nike outsole tennis shoes to compare? On these vapor pro 2's is the outsole durability better than the Extra Durable Rubber (XDR)? Obviously from your previous vids I've concluded the vapor cage 4 or vapor react nxt have the most durable outsoles

[@luisalbertorountreebest5811]

Oye me podrías decir si esos tennis Nike VAPOR PRO color negro son para cancha de arsilla.

[@daiduongtranvu7714]

I totally agree with Zach here on the bad for "heel pain". I tested this in my living room and immediately felt pain in my Achilles Heel. If you have some problem or weak Achilles Tendon, do not get this shoes. I don't know if the shoes will soften up but I already packed and returned it after feeling that Achilles pain!!

[@vnishpt7036]

I'm more interested in the Vapor 11's. I didn't get the predecessor Vapor Pros as way too narrow in the forefoot for me & just not comfortable otherwise (when trying on). My oldest son (former D1 player) recently purchased a pair (of the predecessor Vapor Pro's) on clearance & has been playing in them a couple weeks now & has some serious reservations about stability so hopefully this latest version fixed that along with more roominess in the forefoot area. The style/looks are definitely more appealing imo. The predecessor Vapor Pro's were a definite regression by Nike in the Vapor Pro line as the 9.5's (latest version I played) were a really great shoe imo .Thanks for the detail review as always interesting.

[@johnfairbrother6346]

I can’t wait for the Vapor 11 review. I’m curious how these two models are different. Great review of this model.

[@jonathanchen1026]

Yeah I’m curious too! Just off looks, the vapor pro looks more cushioned or comfortable while 11s look more for performance

[@christopherjlevy]

@@jonathanchen1026 nope it’s the opposite. I’ve got both. 11s are way better. Pros are just covered in protection for sliding. Plus the sock on Vapor pro 2 makes it feel tight. Vapor 11s so much better

[@markmoore5981]

Not surprised by this review really. Maybe that is why the shoe costs only $120. compared to the Vapor 11 at $160. Compared to the Vapor Pro 2, reports are the Vapor 11 feels a bit more stable due to the molded sidewall, allowing for more aggressive cuts and push-offs. Like most comments here, I will be very interested in Zach's review of that shoe.

[@yazidmaa2487]

Great review ! Really excited for the vapor 11 review !

[@jamr3y]

i like how you hit the ball over the wall, very relatable

[@FootDoctorZach]

It’s always just a matter of time

[@cybernetennis]

Man they really made a downturn in deign on this model....

[@andreyofdoom]

The vapor pro was so terrible that I feel like these are much better. But compared to the vapor 5 through to Vapor X they are trash still

[@ItsumoKeebs]

I have a feeling these would actually be really good outdoor basketball shoes, thought they are for tennis these specs are great for guards who toe drag and are always on the balls of their feet!

[@mejvy46]

Zach i was thinking about this shoes And i Will buy IT ❤️thé midlle cut made me buy themvthank you ❤️👍😋

[@X3B1]

Nike needs a kick in the teeth for discontinuing the Vapor X.

[@vasjon]

Have you noticed that a lot of the Nike sponsored pros who were seen wearing the Vapor Pro 2 shoes early in the year have now reverted back to wearing the Vapor Pros? I personally love the Vapor Pro and hope that Nike takes note even their own athletes don’t seem to be fond of the Vapor 2 and continue to sell the original Vapor Pro. Any thoughts Zach?

[@buffalufacus]

Going through a new shoe journey, and my initial thought just putting these on for the first time was very positive...until I started to walk. Had a crazy pinch right in the front that was an immediate turn off, even though the comfort felt pretty good. Onto the next...

[@K4R3N]

Solid content. Adidas Cybersonics please when you get a chance

[@J61ME-yi5sw]

I play outdoor pickleball and am flat footed, older, and arches kill me. I am currently having issues with right right heel tenderness. I feel like a thicker heel sole gives more comfort. Any suggestions? I do not have wide feet.

[@itsjoevo]

Would be good to see how they compare to the vapor pro 1s :)

[@christopherjlevy]

Vapor pros 1 better. Vapor 11s are best by far

[@jonathanchen1026]

Can’t wait for the 11s

[@lsee19]

Shall I say finally a Nike Tennis performance shoe good for wider feet?

[@breadwithfarina]

oh my god, i thoughth this was the review of the kyrie 8, nice video btw❤

[@ZebraCamel]

I'm probably in the minority but I like simple shoes like this. That's why I think the LeBron 20 so fire. Simple design with a striking double swoosh design. Love it

[@ZebraCamel]

@@user-oz5xb9ed3w I love the double swoosh. I think it makes the shoe

[@growlsjean2038]

Hey Zach! Love the vids. I have a question. Which do you prefer? Between the Vapor 11 vs Vapor Pro 2

[@mosmel]

Hello I have a question , Are these shoes good for people with bunions would you be able to see your bunion from the outside of the shoes ?

[@xhen659]

Hey when are you planning to review the court ff 3. I’m interest to see how they compare to the previous and something like the lotto raptors. Thanks appreciate your content helped me a lot

[@FootDoctorZach]

Whenever they come in the mail 👍

[@rel7529]

Both Rune and Alcaraz ditched this shoe and went back to the original pro. It really frustrates me when Nike ditch a shoe in the name of "progress"

[@wowgingermobile2123]

Exactly, I found the Vapor Pro performing much much better!

[@pynzx]

Hi Zach, love these guides but struggle to understand why you rate these as "bad for ball of foot pain" while the Clay version is labelled the exact opposite. Asking as Im currently searching for my next Padel shoe. Thanks a lot!

[@FootDoctorZach]

After playing in them for a while I changed my mind on it

[@jeffreycondron5941]

I have very picky feet. These and the head revolt 4.0 are the few shoes my feet like which don’t rate well in your system. I have tried most of the top shoes on your list and my feet did not enjoy any of them. Always good to do your our foot research.

[@angbangis]

Hey Zach, awesome video! 👌 I was looking at these or the Asics Gel Resolution 9 - which one would you prefer?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Its just personal preference, but id check my latest top 5 for the ones i found best so far thi year

[@Amrabot2000]

Any good tennis shoe for ball of foot pain?

[@LordVlad2321]

Great review 💪🏿🧠 Cannot wait for the review of AG 3 PRO from 361 those 💯🔥

[@ola98ful]

Si Which 1 is better? This model or the vapor 11 premium?

[@erfanmousavii3701]

This shoe is better or air zoom NXT?🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@Luilewi]

Doc, can you do another budget shoe? The Nike Precision 6?

[@bretts5571]

Nice review, it was very well detailed! Just wondering, what strings do you use? Didnt look like a poly from the video

[@FootDoctorZach]

I believe that’s just syn gut- I’m not real picky I just use whatever my dad and I get on sale

[@jean-philippegrima8307]

hello ! I had a calf strain last month and will try to play tennis in 2 weeks. Do you think this shoe model is ok for me? thanks a lot :)

[@FootDoctorZach]

IMO they’re as good as any other but that’s something you’d need an exam to be able to say for sure- can’t give that kinda advice over KZbin

[@DaviddAlves]

Hi, my brother. Vapor pro 2 or NikeCourt Zoom NXT ?

[@simaeshaqi2310]

Hi sir 💥 this shoes are suitable for gym ? Please answer thank you 😊

[@jonathanchen1026]

most college players wear the vapor pro, do you think they will start using the vapor pro 2? or the vapor 11?

[@DurpenHeimer]

It looks like most college players that I follow who used the original Vapor pro are now using Vapor 11s. Though people like rublev use the Pro 2s and Alcaraz seems switch between them.

[@Alessio369chu]

what's is the different with the nike zoom court nxt?

[@MPTennis]

Lovin the vids. If you were a Vapor Pro user and liked how those felt would you upgrade to these? If not, what is the next best?

[@FootDoctorZach]

No - the solution speeds and the 996 are the closest

[@MPTennis]

@@FootDoctorZach Thank you

[@suhaskumar9453]

Is this good for wide feet? I am currently wearing NB FuelCell 996 v4 8.5, 2E. I feel this is tad bit large, my exact foot length is 10 inch and width is 4 inch. I would like to try comfortable light weight tennis shoes at size 8 and 4E. I feel super comfortable with my NB 996 V4, but I don't get that glove like feeling. I keep adjusting and tightening the lace now and then.

[@sapientbudgie5652]

Any suggestions for a player prone to heal bone pain. Wide foot. Working on ankle mobility and soleus, gastroc flexibility. Ascis gel 8 feels very stiff and my feet ache. Dealing with fat pad problems and calcaneus bursitis. Tried so many shoes, but hard to find a tennis shoe that does not hurt my feet

[@aaronsantos962]

Hey Zach, do i get the same size for these as my X and pros or do i need to size up or down

[@honoreolson251]

Is this a shoe that can be used for strength training? I liked the flat bottom and stability when I tried them on but not sure if I should return them and get ones specifically for training

[@FootDoctorZach]

I like specific training shoes personally but the profile is nice and flat but i wonder if they would slip on less than grippy floors

[@testtestph]

Hope you could use I for some time before cutting the shoe, try to break it in before cutting it.

[@FootDoctorZach]

I do- I just don't film it

[@JJ_Stat]

Can you review the Jordan 5?

[@Zenavesta]

Compareed to the Vapor Pro's, you got 10cm more on the serve height test though, so I guess moving the Zoom Air unit worked? 🤔

[@FootDoctorZach]

Jump heights have improved since the last shoe- 38 is my baseline for average shoes nowadays

[@Zenavesta]

@@FootDoctorZach gotcha. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Vapor 11. Could you do a section on at the end of that video (or maybe a standalone video) on your thoughts comparing the both of these to the Vapor Pro’s plz? As they are still selling the Vapor Pro’s and would love to hear how they compare to you. I am now on my second pair or Pro’s after having the X’s based on your videos. I would like to think about staying with these vs buying into the new generation 😉

If you can do Aaron Gordon's Signature Shoe from 361 Degrees. Since this is one of the few kicks that are more bigman oriented to have come out.

[@peterookotai6965]

None of the pros are wearing any of the new nikes. Not rafa (cage 3) shapo (vaporX), Grigot (vapor 9.5), sinner (zeros) and now tiafoe(GP)… a couple are wearing the vapor pros (like Alcaraz and Kyrigos), but it is getting ridiculous.

[@FootDoctorZach]

I’ve been seeing more and more at the United cup

[@ED890216]

During AO, there are some guys who switched from vapor 11 to vapor pro 2. Interesting how it's opposite to what most of us think...

[@tennispassionate386]

Rublev is wearing the vapor pro 2 tho

to me Nike can still surprise me again and again coming out with even worse tennis shoes every time 😅 compared to this fluffy & chalky design the old Vapor Tour 9/9.5 still belong to another league... best tennis shoes ever made! 🙌 Asics are miles ahead of Nike at this time and i guess very few PRO players would wear if not getting paid to use them
