Air Zoom Vapor Pro 2
The Nike Air Zoom Vapor Pro 2 is built for players who prize speed and agility above all else. The Vapor Pro 2 features a responsive Air Zoom unit in the forefoot that powers explosive accelerations, paired with an asymmetrical lacing system that minimizes dead space for a precision fit. The double-mesh upper sheds weight without sacrificing breathability. Playtester weight scores averaged 9.4/10 — the highest of any shoe in the speed category — while comfort came in at 8.0/10 despite the minimal construction. For all-court attackers and net-rushers who need to cover ground in a hurry, no shoe in Nike's lineup matches the Vapor Pro 2.
