I concur with you, Asics is my pick and Gel Resolution 8 is the one. Finishing month #5 of a pair playing in hard courts 2-3 times a week, and I think I will get them last into month # 6. Have not tried Nike, which are known for low durability but very comfy. Tried Adidas before and Sole Court was the one, little stiff, but perform at a high level and lasting +4 months on hard courts.

Asics Gel Res 8 for me. They're more affordable, fit my orthotics, and very durable.

Diadora is making great shoes these days. Very plush and easy on the joints.

[ThanhNguyen-gfnt]

Tried many shoes, this definitely is my favourite shoe especially for wide foot shape.

[gregiffer]

It’s the Asics Gel Resolution 8s for me 👍🏻

I started off only using nike shoes, but then when I tried on ASICS ... It was a wrap.

I reckon the best show from Nike was the GP turbo, full length air zoom unit gives you more speed then any other shoe I've tried, great comfort. That said though the tread wear is pretty poor on Nike I'd say more wear in 2 months than my Adidas soul match bounce shoes showed in 7 months. If Nike put a harder and more resistant outsole in their shoes I'd buy that shoe for ever but Adidas outsole adiwear is so much better it's not even close hopefully Nike start trying to match their competitors for durability cause aside from the outsole it still performs like new

Tour 9, 5 is the best. I hear that Nike will make a special edition next summer with the 9, 5 mould.

J you need to teat drive a GP Turbo if your knees are of concern. Unmatched comfort. Though discontinued for Men, you can find the corresponding size in a ladies size. Like Tiafoe.

Zoom Vapor Cage is my current Nike Shoe. Lunar ballistec, Court ballistec 4.3 were my favorites. Have my eye on the wide gel res 8

[vnishpt]

Hope you're right as ordered a pair of these (black colorway) from TW USA about 10 minutes before the post (as $90 sale price was worth a look imo)! The Nike VP 9.5's are my favorite Nike tennis shoe too 👍. Thanks for the review.

I’ve used the vapor 9.5, lunar ballistics, courtballistec 4.3, court lites, barricades, and gel resolution 8s. Imo the ASICS were mid which is surprising given how widely loved they are. Definitely wish the courtballistecs or the barricade 7s could be brought back

Hey tennisnerds, very nice content.
I will give you an idea for a video, racquets that short people usually play with.... Like players with less than 178 cm. Ex. Shwartzmann, Hugo Gaston and others.
Extended? Lighter racquets? Less tension?
Cheers.

Hi Jonas, if i usually wearing Cage 4 size 44, do i need to downsize it?
Thanks

I'm aboslutely abusing my shoes on the court... I'm realy happy with the barricade, it takes some time to break them in, but they are super durable

[JacObi-Wan-KenObi]

Durability is generally horrible with Nike kicks. Asics are 10x better in that sense but Nike wins the weight competiton.

[primalsledge]

Had two pair of vapor pro. Holes in the left toe on both pair after some months.

[caonaboveloz]

They are good, but they break to tie the laces very soon and you can no longer hold them..

[Infinitejoy]

I got the NXT for women and they didn’t feel comfortable. They were very stiff and made my foot hot. Although I know the stiffness is for support are there Any specific shoe you recommend to try in terms of support and one that doesn’t suf0cate my foot 🦶

[mattysancho]

The best tennis shoe Nike ever made was the court ballistic 4.3 hands down, wish they would bring it back
