The Challenge Pro has a more budget friendly price-tag compared to the Challenge 1, but does not skimp on comfort or stability.
The Nike GP Challenge Pro Shoes deliver the comfort that the GP series is known for with improved stability, and a speedy feel. Featuring a wider base in the forefoot that not only provides a comfortable fit, but also helps during aggressive lateral cuts. The padded mesh upper supplies plenty of comfort and breathability, while TPU reinforcements help create a more secure feel, as well as drag protection around the toes. The EVA foam in the midsole provides good shock absorption as you transition heel to toe, while the midfoot is equipped with a stability plate to resist twisting and transfer energy as you move. Nike's high abrasion rubber in a multi-directional herringbone pattern enhances traction and is durable where you need it most.
- Upper: Synthetic and mesh material for lightweight support and easy ventilation. Rubber drag-guard on the medial side of the toe-box, and extra padding around the ankle collar for a plush feel. Integrated lacing and lateral belt help with support and lock-down.
- Midsole: Zoom Air unit in the heel and EVA foam in the forefoot for comfortable landings and a classic feeling cushion. Stability plate helps to resist torsional twisting of the shoes, and provides power into your step.
- Outsole: High abrasion rubber outsole in a herringbone design; rubber is more dense on the medial forefoot high wear region, and finer tread on the lateral side for sliding enhancement.
- Color: Blue / Obsidian

Customer Reviews
OuchThe shoes are comfortable but tight and my toes are crunched I bought 9.5 and I wear 9.5. I thought maybe they’d loosen up but as I’ve played in them for 6 months they have not. They hurt my feet and after a set I get worn out and it’s hard to move because my feet hurt. I can’t wait to take them off which is a shame.
Saved me from surgeryThese shoes saved my foot while still being able to play tennis. I developed turf toe (sprained tendon in the big toe) from actually wearing the Muzuno wave tour, because that are actually TOO cushy. The stiffness yet rounded step of the soul of these Nikes actually allowed me to do continue playing tennis due to the rolling step and not allowing my toes to bend. I wore these to play and around the house in general and saved me from having to wear an orthopedic boot or need surgery. They are a little stiff but that is made up for with the rolling step action, and still a better option than the GP, challenge 1 which are actually too rigid and not as “rolly”
Perfect..Excelente material, great shoes for play Pickelball..
nice & comfy yet speedy shoesnice & comfy yet speedy shoes
Great cushionGreat shoes, but run a half size small
Nike GP Challenge ProI am disappointed. Nike must have changed the design of their shoes... and not for the better. This shoe fits too tight. It is very narrow and the insole feels like a cup/channel that doesn't allow your foot to sit down in it. I'm an open level player who moves fluently around the court. By the end of one set my feet hurt! Additionally, the sole is not durable at all. I have less than eight hours on this new pair and they have worn the tread out on the toe already.
9Thanks Nike, well down very good tennis shoes and good price thank you
Awesome!!Those shoes are the best, comfy and super stylish
Playing on a CloudA tennis player friend recommended these shoes. She and the TW reviews were correct. After using them for the first time at a match my feet felt better than when I started!!! Lots of support, laterally and on the heel, cushioned and comfortable beyond belief. I bought my regular size and that worked. Since we can’t “demo” shoes I will buy a pair from TW. Try it on once and from there you can tell if it’s going to work well. These did just that! (Back in the day, when I had a tennis store near me I used to try on there, find the best shoes and then buy from Tennis Warehouse!)
Supportive but not too heavyI like how these shoes protect my feet well, especially on hard court. They feel secure on my foot and are easy to move quickly in. My plantar fasciitis has improved from wearing this shoe. They run a bit small.
