Looking for a light weight show that's durable. I currently have a pair of adidas but I don't like the way they fit, they run a little too narrow. I like nike shoes in general but the Nike vapor 9.5 colors are pretty ugly. Just looking for a subtle color light weight shoe.

I have some nike vapors that have awesome ankle support. Have really liked them. Most tennis clothes are gaudy I wouldn't worry about colors.

Build our own shoe on Nike.com

The Nike Shox are the most comfortable shoes ive ever owned.
Nike just re released the Nike Huarache. Its the top selling running shoe for Nike right now. Comfortable and light

Are they the 9.5?

I love the shoe itself, just not the colors

Unfortunately, tennis specific shoes are inherently not durable if you play regularly.

If you want light-weight, check out Head tennis shoes from either last year or the year before. Had a pair that I loved more than either pair of Nike's I had. You could get Head shoes from a year or two ago for a great price on Amazon.

fwiw

I try to play twice a week, about an hour or 2 each time. Nothing too intense.

Yep. I have wide feet so New Balance makes pretty much the only tennis shoes that fit my feet comfortably. I play 3-4 times a week for 2 hours each session and my first pair lasted over a year. I highly recommend them.

Asics Gel Resolutions. The fit wide and they make a 12.5 which is nice.

I just switched back to the new Babolats from Asics Gel Resolution. Left babalot 2 years ago be their design was making me roll my ankles. I need a new pair every season as I wear down the inner toe area quickly and the babolat jet all court women's series was completely sold out across the internet. Bought a men's pair and like them even better.

You'll overpay for Nike, though they are good

Babolat make a good shoe
New balance
