Tennis fans will be happy to know that Nike is officially giving a projected launch date for the introduction of its Nike Air Max Courtballistec 2.3 tennis sneaker. This continues a line of successful and praised tennis sneakers, and looks like it’ll be released before the Aussie Open.

Riding the coattails of a successful Courtballistec 1.3 (the shoe worn by Rafael Nadal and many other pros), Nike is taking full advantage of the success of its predecessor. This is a great tennis sneaker that tennis enthusiasts will be happy to know is being improved.

The Nike Air Courtballistec 2.3 sneakers look like they’ll be a bit different from the 1.3 and earlier versions as far as the style goes. They almost look like something Andre Agassi would have worn about 15 years ago. The color scheme will feature white, grey, blue, yellow, and black.

The performance of the Nike Air Courtballistec 2.3 will also be top notch. Already known as one of the best tennis sneakers on the market, Nike has taken things one step further in the comfort and quality department.

A top feature that comes with the new Courtballistec sneaker is the fact that its traction seems to be phenomenal. These grip the court really well, but will also make great sneakers for clay court tennis, which Rafael Nadal is sure to love.

While people generally said that the 1.3 and earlier models were comfortable, there were those who said they felt like the sneakers choked their feet a bit. Nike gives the foot more breathing room in the Courtballistec 2.3.

It looks like Nike also plans to introduce a special edition of the Air Max Courtballistec 2.3 for the clay court season. Expect Rafael Nadal to sport these when he plays. You should also expect them to have a fashionable look, just like his pink sneakers did during the US Open.

As with the 1.3 version of the tennis sneaker, there’s still the six month guarantee in place, which promises any tennis player that the shoe will last for at least six months. Tennis enthusiasts patiently await the release of what should be an excellent sneaker.
