I knew that going into it, but for a shoe that Nike collaborated with Frances Tiafoe on, I thought it was a bit counterintuitive considering his athleticism.Īnother area that stood out to me was the size of the midsole, which is substantial and gives the shoe a distinct look reminiscent of basketball shoes. Picking the shoes up for the first time, they’re weighty. The upper is soft to the touch and a bit more flexible than many other tennis shoes, so I was curious how it would influence stability. The box features the Nike swoosh on top and the side of the lid, while their tag line ‘Just Do It’ is printed on the left side of the box.Īt first glance, the shoes looked as bulky as they had on Nike’s website and all of their promotional materials, so that’s something that I paid close attention to during my review. You’ll find that most Nike tennis shoes come in a bright orange box with simple branding, and the Air Zoom GP turbos are no exception. Nike translates a US size 11 into the following:

After trying them on, I decided to go with the larger size 11, which is rare for me, but they felt a bit too snug, so you’ll want to consider that.

I’m a US size 10.5, but I found multiple reports of these shoes running short, so I ordered my standard size and a size 11 to compare. I purchased the Nike Air Zoom GP Turbo in black and white for my review and playtest, which I thought was a clean look.
