Nike Vapor 12 Clay Court Tennis Shoe 'Ashen Slate / Obsidian / Lt Armory Blue'

Built for the Red Dirt. The Nike Vapor 12 Clay Court.

Get to every single ball with blistering speed in the Nike Vapor 12 Clay Court. With a reworked upper and a new rubber compound on the outsole, it's lighter and more responsive than the Vapor 11 — and it brings back the springy Air Zoom cushioning and Claybreaker technology that clay court players demand. Arriving in a sharp Ashen Slate / Obsidian / Lt Armory Blue colorway, this is the shoe built for the red dirt.

Zoom It

A heel Air Zoom unit keeps you supported and springy throughout every match, delivering the responsive energy return you need to stay explosive from the first point to the last.

Clay Ready

Nike Claybreaker technology provides enhanced traction and significantly reduces clay build-up underfoot. Added grip in the forefoot and midfoot works with a wide traction pattern to help you slide with control. Designed using traction maps, pressure maps, and clay build-up analysis — then tested on red-clay courts across Europe in cold, warm, wet, and dry conditions.

Lighter Load

The herringbone traction pattern is made from a new rubber compound that's lighter than previous Vapor generations. A firm midfoot plastic piece — a nod to past Vapor designs — provides optimal stability and smooth transitions during side-to-side cuts, while also allowing the removal of rubber in the midfoot to reduce overall weight.

Transfer the Power

A firm foot frame wraps around the supportive midfoot plate and spans from heel to toe, delivering a secure, locked-in feel that helps you transfer power during aggressive slides, cuts, and pivots.

Lightweight Upper

An engineered mesh upper has been refined to reduce weight while maintaining durability in high-wear zones around the toe — keeping the shoe light without sacrificing longevity.
