Real foot doctor compares the Nike Kyrie 7 Play for the Future and Nike Kyrie Vapor X head to head to review their speed,comfort, durability, and playability on the tennis, basketball, and pickleball court.
I also explore how tennis and basketball sneakers are similar and also differ - so can you play tennis in a basketball shoe and can you play basketball in a tennis (court) shoe?
Both shoes are Kyrie Irving signature shoes with the Vapor X being a collab from his Kyrie 5 line with Nick Kyrgios for the US Open.

As a foot doctor I look at tennis shoes, basketball shoes and shoe technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the tennis and basketball shoe's functional attributes on the court
Some of the main areas we cover in this tennis shoe playtest, and performance review of the Nike Kyrie 7 Play for the Future and Nike Air Zoom Kyrie 5 Vapor X tennis shoes are:
- The weight, durability, fit and playability
- What are the features of the insole, midsole, and outsole
- Nike tennis and basketball shoe technology explained
