The best Black Friday deals on tennis shoes – and how to choose the right pair for you

Black Friday is nearly here and there is no better time to buy the perfect tennis shoes.

Taking place on November 29, it is the biggest shopping day of the year and tennis fans will be able to bag plenty of bargains on rackets, balls, tennis wear and tennis shoes.

There is plenty to consider when you are shopping for tennis shoes. Padding in the form of foam can provide comfort on hard surfaces, while extra grip is needed on grass and clay surfaces. Then there is the question of style. Do you prefer traditional white shoes or something with a splash of colour? The choices are endless.

The first deals have already arrived on Nike.com and we have picked through them to find the best discounts on tennis shoes in 2024. Keep checking back for updates as the new deals drop.

Best deal on an all-round tennis shoe

The NikeCourt Vapor Lite is one of the world’s best tennis shoes for all-round performance on hard courts.

It has a two-level foam system to provide extra comfort on hard surfaces. This means the Vapor Lite is a comfortable shoe while playing longer games of tennis and can be worn off the court too.

There is extra foam on the arch for when you need to plant and take a shot, while the breathable mesh helps to keep air circulation. Comfortable and durable, the Vapor Lite will last you for the entire season and beyond.

At £79.99 it was already one of the more affordable options, but you can now get it for just £55.99 in the Nike Black Friday sale.

Best deal on fashionable tennis shoes

If you want to be comfortable on the court but still look the part the NikeCourt Legacy Next Nature is the tennis shoe for you. Based on classic tennis shoes and using leather and suede for a retro feel, the Legacy is one of the best-looking tennis shoes around.

The Next Nature version also uses more recycled materials than ever before. At least 20% of the materials are recycled for a most sustainable tennis shoe.

The fantastic look and feel of the shoe does not mean performance is compromised. The Legacy has a full-length rubber outsole for extra court traction, while the synthetic leather is comfortable and flexible when moving across the court.

Usually priced at £69.99, it is currently £48.99 in the Nike sale.

Best deal on clay court tennis shoes

When you think of clay courts you think of Roland Garros. The Paris Open is one of the big four tennis competitions in the world and it is so iconic Nike has launched a tennis shoe specifically for the surface.

The Nike GP Challenge Premium is designed for clay and hard courts and comes with Claybreaker technology to better grip and control when sliding. The shoe is surrounded by extra-durable rubber to perform on hard surfaces without wearing down.

The Nike GP Challenge Premium is all about improving stability on the court, all while looking fantastic. The colour scheme is designed in honour of the clay court.

Priced at £101.49 in the Nike sale, it is reduced by 30%.

Best deal on retro tennis shoes

The Nike Attack is not just an homage to one of tennis’ best players and biggest personalities. This shoe is a 1:1 replica of John McEnroe’s 1980s tennis shoes.

Designed with grey blocks to stand apart from the usual white-on-white tennis shoe, the Nike Attack is a style icon and an ideal choice for anybody who wants a dose of nostalgia.

It features a foam insole with a rubber outsole to combine comfort and durability, while the leather upper means it can be worn as a fashion statement on and off the court.

The Nike Attack has been reduced to £90.19, a saving of 29% in the Nike Black Friday sale.
