Get to every single ball with blistering speed the Vapor 12. It's lighter and more responsive than the Vapor 11 thanks to reworked components such as the upper and traction pattern. And, Nike brought back some of your favorite Vapor attributes such as an Air Zoom unit, so you can always be on the attack. Zoom It A heel Zoom Air unit helps keep you supported and springy throughout your match. The forefoot is feathery, flexible and fast, so the moment your foot touches the ground, you can explode and move. Lighter Load Nike brought back the firm midfoot plastic piece seen on past Vapors to provide great stability and transitions when cutting from side to side. The supportive piece also allowed Nike to remove the rubber in the midfoot, which helped reduce the overall weight of the shoe. Transfer the Power A firm foot frame wraps around the supportive midfoot plate and spans from toe-to-heel to give you more of a locked down feel. It helps give you the stability to transfer power during aggressive slides, cuts and pivots. Lightweight Upper The engineered mesh upper is lightweight and durable. Nike reduced weight of the mesh while protecting high-wear zones on the toe tip and medial side. Stick and Cut The Herringbone traction pattern is made of Nike new rubber.
