Nike Tennis Classic RPM
Nike revisits its court heritage with the Tennis Classic RPM, reworking the country club staple through the lens of 1970s tennis culture and modern streetwear. The silhouette retains its low-profile shape while introducing textured uppers inspired by vintage watchbands and luxury accessories, giving the shoe a more layered look across the toe box and side panels. Gold detailing sharpens the contrast against the black full-grain leather construction. Underneath, layered cushioning and a foam midsole provide a responsive ride, while a stitched rubber cupsole and herringbone outsole maintain the traction and durability expected from a court shoe. Equally suited for early mornings at the tennis courts of Santa Monica and late nights through Chicago's streets, balancing classic sport design with an elevated but casual presence.

Nike Vomero 18 Shoe
Nike launches the Vomero 18 with a stacked cushioning setup designed for longer miles and everyday training. The silhouette combines ZoomX foam layered above ReactX foam to create a softer ride while maintaining responsiveness underfoot. Additional outsole pods are positioned at high-contact zones to improve agility and smooth out heel-to-toe transitions across pavement, treadmills, and track surfaces. A padded tongue and reinforced upper add structure to the fit, while the retro-inspired colorway pushes the Vomero beyond running and into everyday wear equally built for early morning mileage, coffee stops, and city streets afterward.
