The Vapor 12 hard court sneakers feature a heel Air Zoom unit, herringbone traction pattern, and a firm midfoot plastic piece. The midfoot piece provides optimal stability and transitions when cutting from side to side. The brand removed the rubber in the midfoot, which helps reduce the overall weight of the shoe. A firm foot frame wraps around the supportive midfoot plate and spans from heel to toe, giving a secure feel and stability to transfer power during aggressive slides, cuts and pivots. The weight of the engineered mesh has been reduced while maintaining durability in high-wear zones by the toe. It features a full midfoot fit band that allows you to pull the laces tighter to enhance the fit and enable faster cuts. Midsole foam in between the plastic and rubber helps keep you light on your feet. The sneakers are designed for wear on hard court surfaces with a cushioned insole. Style: FV5552.
