Rafael Nadal loves a good tradition. Having worn his trademark headband and sleeveless shirts for years, he’s generally resistant to change. This, too, was the case when he was asked to switch sneakers.

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 Nike Air Courtballistec 1.3 is a slick looking sneaker, but the feel of it is more important. We were lucky enough to get our hands on a trial pair, and didn’t want to take them off. Easily more snug than the Cages and Breathe Frees.

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.

There’s some new technology at play in these sneakers too. With some great padding in the middle of the sneaker, the LunarLight makes its presence known, helping to balance things out really nicely. As far as the DragOn X, it gives you just the right amount of toe padding to ensure your feet remain blister-free.

One important thing to note about these shoes is you probably will not be able to wear them to play tennis the first day you buy them. With the Nike Air Courtballistec 1.3, they take a little while to break in comfortably. They arrive to you very stiff, but wearing them either around the house or casually for a day or two will break them in. Also, we’d recommend getting a half size smaller than you normally would buy. So if you wore a 10.5 in most Nike shoes, a 10 will fit you better in the Nike Air Courtballistec 1.3.

The Nike Air Courtballistec 1.3 is built to last for the competitive player. However, those who wear through shoes quickly have no reason to fear because each new pair comes with a 6-month out sole guarantee. If the outsole shows considerable wear, all you have to do is fill out a form (included in the box) and send back your used Nike Air Courtballistec 1.3 for a Nike product voucher. The voucher will be worth the suggested retail value of the shoe you sent back.

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 tough to get a read on, especially after just trying them on in the shoe store. Read about all of the Nike Air Courtballistec tennis sneakers and more about the Courtballistec 1.3 sneakers at our dedicated Nike Air Courtballistec reviews site.
