| Roger Federer's shoe of choice, the Vapor gets improved with increased upper durability and support in this fifth version. Most impressively, Nike has incorporated improvements into the Air Zoom Vapor V upper without sacrificing the speed like feel and comfortable ride that wowed our TW playtesters in the previous version. Nike's Zoom Air keeps feet low to the court for a stable ride, yet offers plenty of cushioning for player comfort. Built on a contour, speed fit last, the Air Zoom Vapor V wraps the foot for glove-like support. Regionalized upper materials increase lateral support and improve durability in key areas. Nike's XDR outsole material in a modified herringbone combination offers traction on all court surfaces with solid hard court durability. At the rear of the shoe, the Fit Frame technology is updated, offering the same support in a lighter weight design. All in all an impressive shoe and a perfect match for the player who's serious about his footwork. |
