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 Max Courtballistec 2.3 is officially on the way. Nike has announced its plans to coordinate the release of the sneaker with the 2010 Australian Open, and this much anticipated sneaker is sure to be a top seller in athletic apparel stores nationwide.

The Nike Air Max Courtballistec 2.3 looks like it’ll be a new and improved version of its older models. Nike has listened to the requests of its owners, and tennis fans should be excited to try out what seems to be a top notch sneaker.

The Nike Air Courtballistec 1.1 and 1.2 shoes are a great alternative to those looking for a solid shoe without breaking the bank. Compared to the Nike Air Courtballistec 1.3, the cost of these shoes are around 30-40% off.

These both have very similar looks and feels to the Nike Courtballistec 1.3, and they really don’t sacrifice much in terms of features and overall performance. They’ve been around for a little longer, so the 1.3 is new and improved, but it gets its foundation from its predecessors.

The hottest tennis shoes on today’s market are the Nike Air Courtballistec 1.3 sneakers. If Rafa’s wearing them, you know they’re pretty serious shoes. The price tag is a high one on the 1.3 shoes, and unless you’re a really serious tennis player, or have some extra money to spend, you might find the best fit in the 1.1 or 1.2.

Arguably the greatest quality of the Nike Air Courtballistec 1.1 and Nike Air Courtballistec 1.2 is they are still solid and performance shoes. They have similar styles of the 1.3 as well. When we tested the shoes, they never felt like a cheap, stripped down model of the most expensive Nike offering.

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.
