Madison Keys’ Shoes

Nike Air Zoom Vapor X shoes are lightweight and feature an open mesh upper that allows for good breathability and comfort.  The shoes fit like a glove, yet your feet are comfortable in these shoes.

The cushioning underneath the feet and along the ankles provide fantastic comfort. The shoes provide good support and stability giving you the confidence to move freely around the court. 

Nike has moved around the tread to improve durability.  There is now more tread in the high-wear areas and removed tread in the low-wear areas to keep the shoes durable and the weight low. This also allows the tread to wear evenly over time.

Nike Air Zoom Vapor X shoes include additional traction along the perimeter of the outsole that will allow players to change directions quickly.

Bottom Line

Nike Air  Zoom Vapor X shoes are lightweight and will complement your game by improving your movement on the court.  The shoes are plush and comfortable, allowing you to focus on your game on the court. With improved durability, you can expect these shoes to last longer.
