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. Elsewhere, check out the NXT range for the latest tech-focused designs, or if you prefer something simple, lightweight, and comfy, the Lite collection has you covered.
Nike Zoom GP Challenge 1 Tennis Shoes
Serve and smash your way to success with the Nike Zoom GP Challenge 1 tennis trainer in Wolf Grey/Laser Orange-Black-White, designed for wear on hard court surfaces and for players who aspire to be the best, this shoe is made to ensure your comfort and enhance your performance.
Built specifically for quick changes in direction, the Nike Zoom GP Challenge 1 features a forefoot Air Zoom unit that helps you play on your toes, with a heel Air Zoom unit providing support as you step. A strong midfoot plastic plate provides stability, delivering quick cuts and power to your game when transferring energy from side-to-side. The webbing around the eyestays combines with the plate to offer a "hugged" containment when making dynamic movements around the court.
While the heel has extra padding to keep you feeling comfortable and supported, it’s designed specifically to enhance your rocker-like movements – such as pulling back for a serve. Carefully crafted for long-lasting wear, the Zoom GP Challenge 1 is built with extra rubber in the toe area – specifically the big-toe side – for additional durability that protects against scuffs and scrapes as you move quickly from side to side. High-abrasion rubber in the forefoot enhances durability and traction at the sole for a reliable and resilient addition to your tennis footwear.

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.
