Verdict
One of the lightest clay shoes with a durability guarantee (12.7 oz, 6-month outsole warranty) and a full herringbone DX Rubber bottom, but it's a slim, low-profile speed shoe, not a plush do-everything option.
The current Vapor speed shoe—lighter feel than a stability tank, better lockdown than older Pros, and still the Nike answer when you want to cut first and plant second.
The current Pro Staff midplus—same v14 playability in classic black paint—surgical aim and plow for players who supply the pace, not free depth.
