The Vapor 12 features a reworked upper and traction pattern. It has Air Zoom cushioning, a heel Air Zoom unit, and a herringbone traction pattern made of a rubber compound. A firm midfoot plastic piece provides stability and transitions when cutting from side to side. A firm foot frame wraps around the supportive midfoot plate and spans from heel to toe. The engineered mesh upper maintains durability in high-wear zones by the toe. The athletic sneakers have lace up fastening and a cushioned insole. They are designed for wear on hard court surfaces. These sneakers from Nike feature a full midfoot fit band, and a midsole foam is in between the plastic and rubber.
