Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for clay courts?
The Vapor 12 is primarily designed for hard court surfaces. While they may work elsewhere, their traction pattern is optimized for hard, high-friction surfaces.
How do I determine if the size fits correctly?
There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot expansion during play.
Can I use these for general running?
These are court-specific trainers designed for lateral stability. They are not recommended for long-distance running, which requires a different type of heel-to-toe cushioning.
How do I keep the white parts of the shoe clean?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mixture of mild soap and water with a soft-bristled brush, then wipe clean immediately.
How often should I replace my tennis shoes?
Generally, it is recommended to replace court shoes after 45-60 hours of play, or when the tread on the outsole becomes visibly worn down.
Troubleshooting
Feel slippery on the court
Check for a build-up of dust or debris on the outsole and clean with a damp cloth or soft brush.
Discomfort or pinching during play
Adjust the lacing tension, ensuring it is secure but not overly tight, and ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike Vapor 12 trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for light walking or warm-up drills for 2-3 sessions to allow the materials to mold to your foot shape.
- Surface Compatibility: Use exclusively on hard court surfaces to preserve the tread pattern and material integrity.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth after matches to remove court dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the adhesive and foam from degrading. Ensure they are aired out after use to prevent moisture buildup.
