Nike Tennis Applies An Eye-Catching 'Light Lemon Twist' to the Vapor 12 Hypersmash

To the casual fan, tennis season doesn't begin until summer, but different events have already begun taking place across the globe. To ensure its sponsored athletes continue having access to top-notch performance footwear, Nike Tennis has released a number of new color schemes for its marquee Vapor 12 Hypersmash design.

Previously seen in a 'United We Rise' makeover, the silhouette has recently surfaced in a spring and summer-ready 'Light Lemon Twist' ensemble. Executed in a near-tonal style, the pair features innovative elements from the Swoosh's Research & Development team for the game's biggest stages. The lightweight mesh base is contained at the profiles by the brand's iconic FlyWire technology, which ensures athletes' feet are locked into the shoe. Padding around the collar and support frames underfoot provide the protection and stability needed for quick movements on clay and grass courts.

'Light Crimson' shares real estate with the titular greenish-yellow color, animating branding hits throughout the shoe. Together, all aforementioned components help keep the storied company's performance products fun.
