The Nike Court Vapor Lite 2 is an athletic shoe engineered for tennis and pickleball players who prioritize speed, support, and immediate comfort on the court. It offers a super-comfortable underfoot feeling and optimal traction for dynamic play right out of the box. While its lightweight design enhances agility, some users might consider the strategic reduction of rubber in low-wear areas a factor for long-term durability.

The Nike Court Vapor Lite 2 shoes are designed for players who engage in dynamic court action. The plush 2-level foam system ensures cushioning during long rallies, helping to reduce fatigue and maintain performance. The strategic dual-density foam placement, with softer foam at the arch and harder foam on the outside, facilitates optimal ankle alignment and powerful push-offs during rapid changes of direction, whether you're playing tennis or pickleball. The data-informed herringbone outsole provides reliable grip for quick sprints and stops, yet allows for controlled sliding when needed. This combination enables confident footwork for hammering volleys at the net or staying mobile during extended baseline exchanges. Their lightweight and breathable construction ensures your feet remain cool and agile throughout your session. Furthermore, their comfort extends beyond the court, making them suitable for casual wear after your game.

Care
Cleaning: After each use, gently brush off any loose dirt or debris from the shoes. For more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents.
Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
Maintenance: Regularly inspect laces for wear and ensure they are securely tied before play to prevent foot movement within the shoe.
