The Nike Air Max Courtballistec 4.3: Major durability, cushioning and support

Yep, these are the shoes you saw Nadal is wearing at the Aussie Open.

The Nike Air Max Courtballistec 4.3 Men's Tennis Shoe was built tough for the rigors of the game, with an extra-durable upper and outsole, plenty of cushioning and lateral support.

Benefits

• Lunarlon cushioning in the forefoot for soft yet responsive shock absorption
• Visible Max Air in the heel for maximum impact protection
• DragOn 2X on the front of the upper for durability, flexibility and support
• Largely mesh upper for breathability and comfort

Stability and Support

Because tennis requires sprints and quick changes in direction, the Nike Air Max Courtballistec 4.3 has a midfoot shank at the outer edge for lateral support and stability.

Fit

This version of the Nike Air Max Courtballistec shoe features a molded sockliner that adds cushioning and conforms to your foot shape for a customized fit. Seamless heel construction provides a lightweight feel and reduced irritation, and the gilly-style lacing system locks in the foot for a snug fit.

Durability

The outsole features a mix of traction patterns for long-lasting durability and traction on multiple surfaces. For extra durability and drag protection, the internal wear-shelf of the outsole is thicker at the toe and ball of the foot. The rubber toe tip makes it even tougher.
