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 Womens Vapor Lite 3 Tennis Shoes
Stay light on your feet from first serve to match point with the Nike Women’s Vapor Lite 3 in Glacier Blue/Star Blue-Blue Beyond-White, part of Nike’s “Ice in her Veins” collection and wrapping your feet in breathable mesh with the support of plush cushioning.
When you’re looking for a comfortable shoe that doesn’t slow you down on court, the Nike Women’s Vapor Lite 3 is the go-to. Made with a brand-new rubber compound outsole, the Lite 3 weighs less than previous iterations, so you can feel free to run, lunge, leap or cut with dynamism. This rubber compound can also be found at the tip of the shoe to provide resistance to wear when you stop abruptly, while the mesh upper is designed to be both tough and breathable. The midsole, collar, and tongue are all designed with plush cushioning that softens any heavy impacts and allows you to smoothly slip the trainers on or off.
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.
