More Side-grade than upgrade.I decided to purchase these shoes because I didn't want to pay the frankly insane price of the Vapor 12s, and for the most part I am satisfied with them. I came from Vapor 9.5s and X's, and I would say this particular shoe is more a sidestep than an upgrade. Here are my observations compared to the Vapor 9.5/X:
- More comfort (definitely less fatigue after long play) but feels a bit numb.
- Perceived increase in durability.
- Weight feels about the same or slightly heavier.
- Feel more "on" the shoes than "in" the shoes (if that makes any sense).
- Presence of the shoe feels larger (not like clown shoes, but they feel larger).
I honestly feel like I've been spoiled by the Vapor 9.5/X (especially the 9.5 which remain one of my favorite tennis shoes of all time), but these were good enough for me to use as a replacement...and hopefully Nike will bring back a shoe like the Vapor 9.5s in the future (without the ridiculous price tag of the Vapor 12s).
