@Tennisnerd if you hae such issues with the knees get basketball shoes. They're built for similar movement patterns, but they have extra impact protection as they need to help with jumping and landing. Personally I actually play tennis in basketball shoes: either the 361 AG4 (if you want a bit more stability in your ankle), or the brilliang LiNing Way of Wade All City 11. At worst you'll wear out the outsole quicker on hard courts. Good luck!
I've been playing the Vapor Pro line for quite a while now & they are pretty much as you describe, just ok. I'm ready for something new. I think I'll try the Vapor React or the Babolat Jet Mach III AC's. I've heard some positive things about the Head Revolt Pro 3.5 too. Thanks for the detail review & comparison of these Nike shoes.
Interesting now how all shoes are hyper ultra extra reinforced in the areas that would wear if you were a dedicated hard court slider (and really slid properly - leading foot sole on the ground and back foot shoe with the side/upper “dragging” behind). As someone who plays very often and on hard courts but doesn’t slide into shots very frequently I would love to see some more technology put into the very sole of the shoe to keep a pair viable for longer than they are. The durability of tennis shoe outsoles is a bit ridiculous if you are playing frequently and at a high level.
@@bretts5571 you’re probably better off with a more low to the ground shoe which therefore doesn’t wobble as much and relieves twisting force in your knees
Hey Mr. Jonas, my dad has been struggling with knee pain while playing tennis with me for many many years now, would you recommend the wilson rush to him?
indoors volleyball right? if its indoors tennis shoes don't grip as well. Since courts are very similar to basketball courts and oftentimes basketball courts are volleyball courts, if you like looks of shoes, you can look into some basketball shoes
My regular shoe became the ASICS Speed Solution FF after yrs w the Vapor X debacle. Just got a pair of Vapor Pros; very similar. The React doesn’t appear to have a ‘cutout’ on the outside for the ankle bone - wasn’t there any rubbing? PS - so no red clay you could play on?
I wanted to pick up tennis and I do know something about athletic footwear. You are absolutely right the vapor pro is beautiful looking but that is where it ends. The shoe has almost 0 cushion But the worst part of it is the heavy beveling on the heel at the medial side. This will destroy your back, your hips, knees and ankles. That heavy medial bevelling, causes your feet to dangerously collapse inwards, I will not recommend anybody buying this shoe, it will destroy your skeletal structure and may cause damage to ligaments and tendons.

Definitely agree, I use the vapor x and I slide very often but I’ve seen minimal wear after heavy use.
Have you tried the Nike Air Zoom GP Turbos? Those are the most cushioned tennis shoes I've ever tried (and I've tried lots).
Yes they're a tad heavy but super comfortable
@@thanminhhung shit looks
I was getting knee pain with the GP Turbos, they have a lot of cushion but they're very heavy. Probably the heaviest shoes you are going to wear.

waaaooh, that Edberg top is⭐🔥✨
Great review ! What tennis shoe do you prefer Tennis Nerd ?
How come nobody has commented that your screen doesn't show the table/shoes that you're talking about....
Hey Mr. Jonas, my dad has been struggling with knee pain while playing tennis with me for many many years now, would you recommend the wilson rush to him?
I use DMSO for joint pain with great success, just use a small amount or it can burn a little !
Hi Jonas, have you managed to get a hold of the Wilson Pro Staff Six One 100 V13 for review yet?
I have! Just bought one - review to come!
@@Tennisnerd Great, can't wait to hear your thoughts, seems like an interesting one
@@Tennisnerd nice Jonas!
Do you think I’d be able to use these shoes to play volleyball?
indoors volleyball right? if its indoors tennis shoes don't grip as well. Since courts are very similar to basketball courts and oftentimes basketball courts are volleyball courts, if you like looks of shoes, you can look into some basketball shoes
The next is one of the heaviest shoes isn't it? why do you say it is light weight?
Heard the GP Turbo is comfortable and cushiony
My regular shoe became the ASICS Speed Solution FF after yrs w the Vapor X debacle. Just got a pair of Vapor Pros; very similar.
The React doesn’t appear to have a ‘cutout’ on the outside for the ankle bone - wasn’t there any rubbing?

What are you favorite tennis shoes right now?
I wanted to pick up tennis and I do know something about athletic footwear. You are absolutely right the vapor pro is beautiful looking but that is where it ends. The shoe has almost 0 cushion But the worst part of it is the heavy beveling on the heel at the medial side.

That heavy medial bevelling, causes your feet to dangerously collapse inwards, I will not recommend anybody buying this shoe, it will destroy your skeletal structure and may cause damage to ligaments and tendons.
I see more pros prefer PRO like Alcaraz, Kyrgios and Khachanov.
1:19 not a very good promo shot for the shoes lmfao
