Nike Zoom Vapor 12 PRM Lime/Green Men's Shoes
4.3
Nike's premier match-day shoe delivers all out speed without compromising support or comfort.
Designed for explosive speed, the Nike Vapor 12 PRM delivers the lightweight and fast feel that the Vapor line was built upon, without compromising comfort or support. Nike used data from the worn shoes of arguably the most explosive mover on the pro tour, and engineered these Vapor 12 s to withstand the test of battle. Nike also listened to the consumers, and integrates various design concepts from some of the people's favorite Vapors; with an aesthetic inspiration from the Vapor VI Tour, and performance features from the Vapor Pro, Vapor X, Vapor 9/9.5. A Zoom Air unit in the heel supplies impact cushioning, and the split sole design helps to cut down on weight but maintain torsional rigidity. The fit band in the mid-foot increases lock-down and delivers more confidence on quick side-to side cuts. The outsole is comprised of Hart rubber for added durability, and molded into a split outsole with herringbone tread; ideal tread for hard courts, but performs well on all court surfaces.
- Upper: High deneer engineered mesh provides comfort, and ventilation. Cast PU reduces weight, while making sure high wear zones are protected; tip of the toe and medial toe box.
- Midsole: Zoom Air unit located in the heels for shock absorption on hard landings. TPU full length Footframe from heel to toe supplies lightweight stability. Mid- foot shank located in between two-piece split outsole design. 22mm heel stack, with low to the court 10mm stack in the forefoot.
- Outsole: Hart rubber compound creates more durability; added abrasion resistance. Herringbone tread pattern for optimal grip on hard courts, but performs well on a variety of court surfaces.
- Color: Lime / Green (PRM indicates Premium; Nike designs the PRM shoes with either higher quality materials or with elevated and intricate details to the cosmetics).

almost back to a great shoeThese look like the Vapor X, which was a great shoe, with some differences. The lacing is less adjustable. So... not as form fitting. I have been using Nike Vapor since the Vapor 2. I tried these and 10 min on the court and the pain of the tongue and sides digging into my ankle was a lot. Painfully. So I undid the runner's knot... After 10 more min my feet were achy - the heel wasn't staying in place, so the arch wasn't in the right place, and they were unusable on the court. I put back on my Vapor X's to finish the match, with no foot pain or problems. The key is the tongue. They made the tongue too short and some hard plastic material so it digs into the front of the ankle painfully. If they had good foam and bigger tongue like nearly all prior Nike Vapor, so it padded the front rather than dug in, I could tightly lace the shoe to hold the heel, and they might be OK. Still not sure about the sides of the ankles, the plastic material and limited padding might still be hard and dig in on the sides, causing bruising, but as is, they are a full swing and a miss, and I can't recommend them. I bought some On Cloud Federer shoes to try next!
Amazing shoe. Adidas convertI have a medium-narrow width foot. I usually wear a size 11 in adidas. I wear a 10.5 in this Nike. The Vapor 12 shoe plays a lot like the Adidas cyber sonic 2, but wears a lot better. I play almost every day, and I can burn through the cybersonic in 6 weeks. Vapor 12 is legit. Good support, but not too heavy. Nice performance fit without a toe crunching foot box. (P.S. if you’re giving a shoe a poor review because it doesn’t fit you right, you have no business submitting reviews. Send it back and find something else. It’s not the shoe design. These shoes are well made and are great tennis shoes for those of us who it fits.)
Crushed my feetFirst time buying Nike’s - typically an ASICS and Adidas buyer. Played twice with these shoes and had pain in my feet the next day after both sessions. They look nice?
Return of the VaporJust like Luke Skywalker in the return of the Jedi, this shoe equally conquers the dark side, and makes waves in the universe. Seriously, I played college tennis in the vapor 9.5 and was so sad when the moved away from it. Thankfully this shoe recalls those same feelings! Thanks Nike!
Incredible Nike Zoom Vaper 12 ShoesExtremely comfortable and sturdy. I wore them today — they feel very light, and the size 10 fits perfectly, even with ankle braces.
Amazing shoesComfortable at is best... runs true size 100 percent recommended by a 4.5 player.
Love these shoesI couldn’t wait for these shoes to come, and they’re just as good as I thought they would be; looks and comfort are amazing.
NEED A WIDE VERSION!!!This is very close to the 9.5 and X versions! A little heavier but more stable. Very comfortable old school lacing system. I had to stretch it out with shoe expanders to be able to fit though. PLEASE NIKE MAKE A WIDE VERSION! There are so many people who are using other brands who would come back to Nike if they made a wide version of this.
Welcome back VaporI guess Nike has been listening to customers feedback and decided to go back what had been greatly appreciated about Vapor 9.5 and X. This shoe fulfills the longing for low to ground high performance shoe competitive players love. I like every aspect of this designed. Fit is true, excellent lateral support and great traction.
Zoom Vapor 12 HypersmashI am really enjoying this shoe. I have 4 other pairs of Nike tennis shoes, and this one has become my favorite. It is lightweight (compared to the others) and I can move around the court comfortably and quickly as the shoe provides excellent support. The only negative thing I have to say about this shoe is that it isn't available in more colors. Highly recommend.
