Upper: Comprised of mesh for improved ventilation, but the interior side of the mesh has been reinforced to offer better support. The outer mesh layer has a thin and flexible overlay to improve durability. The asymmetrical lacing system better secures the foot during rapid lateral movements, as well as shielded medial eyestays to protect the laces from damage when sliding. New in the Vapor Pro, a stretchy internal sleeve hugs the foot for a sock like fit.

Midsole: The soft foam midsole contains a Zoom Air unit in the heel which provides responsive cushioning.

Outsole: To further protect and stabilize the foot during quick movements, the lateral side features a Full-Length foot frame. As far as the outsole goes, Nike's herringbone design offers plenty of grip without hindering the ability to slide. Rubber has been removed from low-wear areas of the outsole to keep the weight at a minimum. This shoe is designed for use on hard court surfaces.
