Is the Vapor Pro 3 good for clay courts?

Yes. This Premium version has a Claybreaker outsole made for clay, with a tread pattern that grips and slides on the surface.

How does it compare with the Vapor Cage 4?

The Vapor Pro 3 is lighter and faster, while the Vapor Cage 4 offers more cushioning and stability for players who need support.

Does it fit true to size?

It fits close to true to size but runs narrow and low-volume. Players with wide feet should consider going up a half size.

Is it good for hard courts?

It works on hard courts, but the clay-oriented outsole wears faster there. Players who mostly play hard courts should expect shorter outsole life.

What cushioning does it have?

A forefoot Air Zoom unit provides responsive bounce. The heel is firmer, which suits players who prefer court feel over plush cushioning.

Who is it designed for?

Fast, competitive men's players who want a light, low ride and quick lateral movement, up to high-level play.
