Vortex Clay - Blue

Our shoes are designed for performance, expect a snug fit to reduce friction and risk for blister. If in doubt, you might want to go up one size.

Built for Explosive Acceleration and Dynamic Movement.

A new era of acceleration on court. Vortex is engineered around the way you move — from explosive take-off to controlled deceleration. A sculpted performance last locks in the heel, ankle and mid foot, while a more generous toe box gives the big toe the freedom to engage and drive your next move. Precision where you need it. Freedom where you move.

Vortex Lite Clay Outsole - Aggressive Grip. Explosive Acceleration.
Engineered with an aggressive herringbone traction pattern tailored for clay courts, the Vortex Lite outsole is designed to deliver maximum grip when it matters the most. Its intentional curved geometry follows the natural progression of the foot through the stride, optimizing traction during the critical take-off and acceleration phase. The result is a grip-focused outsole built to support fast starts, decisive push-offs and confident changes of direction on clay. Grip when it counts. Acceleration without hesitation.

• Asymmetrical lacing area designed for lateral stability and unrestricted take-off.
  The asymmetric lacing system is engineered to support the demands of multidirectional racket sports. It enhances foot lockdown during lateral cuts, sudden stops and rapid changes in direction, helping maintain a secure connection between the foot and the shoe when stability matters the most.  At the same time, the design allows greater freedom of movement around the big toe and the medial forefoot, supporting natural forefoot flexion during push-off and explosive accele-ration into a new direction.
• The AirFlow System™ (AFS).
  Breathable by design. An integrated ventilation system engineered to promote airflow throughout the shoe, from the outsole and midsole to the footbed. By facilitating continuous air circulation, AFS helps dissipate heat and manage moisture, keeping feet cooler, drier and more comfortable during intense play.
• KPU Toe-drag Protection - Built to Withstand the Game.
  A strategically positioned KPU reinforcement in the forefoot upper provides enhanced abrasion resistance in high wear areas, helping protect against the repeated friction and wear caused by toe-drag movements common in tennis.
• Speedlight™ Foam midsole - Explosive energy return.
  Powered by an integrated Super Critical Foam (SCF™) forefoot, the Speedlight™ midsole delivers exceptional rebound energy for explosive push-offs and rapid acceleration. Engineered to return energy with every step, it helps drive powerful, responsive movements when every split-second counts. Load. Rebound. Explode
• Adaptive TPU Torsion System - Stability Under Pressure.
  An integrated TPU torsion unit in the midsole is engineered to adapt to the demands of multidirectional movement, providing torsional control and enhanced stability under the high lateral loads generated during rapid side-steps, aggressive cuts and sudden stops.
• Dual-Foam Heel Construction - Precision Fit. Premium Comfort.
  Engineered with two complementary foams for a secure, adaptive fit around the heel. Memory Foam in the lower heel area moulds to the foot for a snug, wrap around feel, while soft T80 Foam in the upper collar enhances cushioning and comfort around the Achilles tendon
• Integrated Kanso Exoskeleton - Stability by Design.
  Inspired by the Kanso symbol, the integrated structural overlays work as an external support framework for the upper, enhancing foot lockdown and helping maintain stability during aggressive lateral movements, rapid stops and explosive changes in direction
• One-piece Engineered Mesh Upper - Breathability. Structure. Precision.
  The Vortex upper features a one-piece engineered mesh, designed with strategically placed stitching to balance ventilation and structural support. Open, breathable zones promote airflow where it is needed most, while reinforced stitching patterns provide added structure and support in key areas for a secure, controlled fit during dynamic court movement. Breathable where it matters. Structured where it counts
• Enhanced Heel Rocket - Designed for Fluid Transitions.
  An extended heel rocker geometry, starting further towards the centre of the heel and continuing higher along the rear heel profile, is designed to promote a smoother rolling transition during the dynamic movements and launch steps typical for racket sports.
• Lower Toe Spring - Direct Contact. Immediate Response.
  Designed with a lower toe-spring profile to promote more direct forefoot contact with the court during the initial acceleration phase. The geometry aims to create a more immediate connection to the playing surface, supporting a responsive and controlled first step when accelerating into a new direction
• Drop: 10mm. (Heel to toe drop is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot).
