Reviewing the Nike Air Courtballistec 1.3

In Fitness/Getting in Shape |

Rafael Nadal has never liked change. The same player who lines up his water bottles just right after every court change and was hesitant to put sleeves on also didn’t want to give up his Nike Breathe Cages for the Nike Air Courtballistec 1.3.

Nadal’s switch from the Nike Breathe Cage to the Nike Air Courtballistec 1.3 has been a successful one. The white, black, and gold color scheme gives the sneaker just enough luster to stand out without making too much noise. Many pros have begun to wear it too.

The shoe can look great, but most want to know how it feels. After breaking in, we found the Nike Air Courtballistec 1.3 is even more comfortable than the popular Nike Cages and Breathe Frees from previous generations.

In comparison to other tennis shoes, the shoes weigh in a little heavy at 17.7 ounces. The thing is, if you aren’t told that before buying the shoes, you wouldn’t believe it. The weight distribution doesn’t make them feel clunky at all.

Perhaps this is due to the new LunarLight technology, which features some first of its kind padding at the shoe’s core. Then there’s the DragOn X, which lends support to the toes (especially the big one) to make sure that collisions with the front of the sneaker are minimal. Anyone who plays enough tennis knows exactly what we’re talking about here.

If there’s anything bad to say about these sneakers, the bad we experienced took place during the first day or two. Out of the box, these are very stiff sneakers. Don’t wear these out for the first time to a critical match. Walk around in them for a day or two, practice in them, do what you need to do to break them in.

For those concerned about the wear and tear that hits all tennis shoes, there’s a little comfort here knowing that Nike gives you a six month guarantee regarding any wearing down of the sneaker. If you send the sneaker back and prove that there’s wear beyond what’s reasonable, they’ll give you a voucher for equal value to the sneaker. Not bad.

So to wrap it up, we recommend this shoe for the player who wants comfort, durability and wants to wear the same thing as some of the top professionals do. The Nike Air Courtballistec 1.3 has the stability and traction you need to move around the court with ease.

Tennis sneakers can be hard to figure out, especially after just wearing them for a few minutes in the shoe store. Read about all of the Nike Courtballistec tennis sneakers and more about the Nike Courtballistec 1.3 sneakers at our dedicated Nike Air Courtballistec reviews site.
