Nike Men's Air Zoom Vapor 12 Hypersmash - White/Metallic Gold

Take your desire to win and act it out in court. Hardcourt is the most consistent surface, but it's also the most unforgiving. Updated materials on the upper and outsole provide the grip and durability to play at top speed for longer. Air Zoom cushioning helps soften the court while design details inspired by the '08 Hyperdunk basketball shoe help you feel like you've won before even stepping on the court.

Stick and Cut

The herringbone traction pattern is made from Nike’s new rubber compound that's lighter than Vapors of the past. It allows you to decelerate, plant and get back into position without feeling like you're rounding off your cuts.

Zoom It

A heel Air Zoom unit helps keep you supported and springy throughout your match.

Lighter Load

Nike brought back the firm midfoot plastic piece seen on past Vapors to provide optimal stability and transitions when cutting from side to side. The supportive piece also allowed Nike to remove the rubber in the midfoot, which helps reduce the overall weight of the shoe.

Transfer the Power

A firm foot frame wraps around the supportive midfoot plate and spans from heel to toe, giving you a more secure feel. It helps give you the stability to transfer power during aggressive slides, cuts and pivots.

Lightweight Upper

Nike reduced the weight of the engineered mesh while maintaining durability in high-wear zones by the toe.

• The full midfoot fit band allows you to pull the laces tighter to enhance the fit and enable faster cuts.
  
• The midsole foam in between the plastic and rubber, which wasn't on the Vapor 11, helps keep you light on your feet.
