Ever since their first entry into tennis footwear back in 1973, Nike have set the trends that define the shoes we see on-court to this day.
Bringing colour and attitude to a sport famed for its formal dress codes, the Swoosh shook up the establishment in the 70s with some inspired designs and endorsements, signing up first Ilie Nastase in ’73, and then, in 1978, John McEnroe.
Confident and uncompromising, McEnroe was the perfect partner for Nike as they grew their influence in the game, particularly thanks to his personal championing of the classic Air Trainer 1 in the 80s – a shoe that likely wouldn’t have seen the light of day had he not insisted its prototype be developed into a full design.
After McEnroe came Agassi, Courier, and Sampras. All three had some superb shoes that pushed the boundaries for technology as much as looks, with Agassi’s Air Tech Challenge and Sampras’s Air Oscillate featuring industry-leading engineering, just as Federer and Nadal’s shoes have in more recent times.
Rafa’s signature shoe, the Zoom Vapor Cage, remains available today with its winning combination of performance and durability, while Naomi Osaka’s Zoom GP Turbo follows in the footsteps of Serena’s Flare in leading the way for women’s footwear.

Nike Court Vapor Lite 2 Tennis Shoes
Serve and smash your way to success in the Nike Court Vapor Lite 2 in Black/White, the subtle, simple and sleek tennis trainer studded out with playability, speed and support.
Carefully crafted to keep you quick on your feet, the Nike Court Vapor Lite 2 is court ready, designed to offer comfort to players who like to do it all. An extra-durable mesh upper encourages airflow for cooling ventilation, while offering some protection against scrapes and scuffs as you rush around the court.
Its plush 2-level foam system keeps you comfortable and helps to support you through your dynamic movements. Soft foam near the arch makes it easier to align your ankle with your foot to reduce unnecessary strain, while harder foam along the outside helps you to push off during fast-paced movements.
A full-length foot frame on the outside helps to stabilise your foot during quick cuts, while the herringbone outsole pays homage to some of the best designs in the Nike Vapor line, using a data-informed design to create optimal grip without impacting your ability to slide.
Furthermore, Nike have removed the rubber in low-wear areas to minimise weight, resulting in a super lightweight and comfortable shoe with great playability and an economic price.

Nike
All Court
All court tennis shoes are designed to perform across a variety of court surfaces, making them versatile footwear options for tennis players. These shoes feature an outsole with a universal tread pattern to provide the right balance of grip and give on both hard and clay courts, and even grass. Additionally, they often have reinforced toe caps for added durability, considering the high-wear nature of tennis. Cushioning and stability are prioritised to support swift lateral movements and quick pivots. All court tennis shoes are ideal for players who play on different surfaces or for those who prefer a multi-purpose tennis shoe.
