The Nike Court Vapor Lite 2 HC is built to support players through every aspect of their game. The innovative dual-level foam system provides targeted comfort, allowing you to maintain optimal ankle alignment during lateral movements and deliver powerful push-offs for quick sprints and volleys.

The lightweight and breathable mesh upper works to keep your feet cool and dry, even during the most intense rallies. This combination of features means you can trust your footwear to enhance your agility and support your game, from powerful serves to decisive volleys.

Care: To prolong the life and appearance of your shoes:
Cleaning: Gently wipe down the mesh and synthetic surfaces with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. For tough spots, a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or damp environments.
