Prince's T9 Roadster Tennis Shoe

Prince's Men's T9 Roadster

Any structure is only as stable as its foundation, and that includes your tennis game. If your shoes are slow, moist, uncomfortable or don't hold the ground well, then the base of a fluid, confident swing has already been compromised. Those crafty cobblers at Prince Tennis know this and have addressed the issue with their T9 Roadster tennis shoe.

Designed with a combination of breathable synthetics and AIRmesh, these babies aren't just for show. They feel great the first time you try them on and are just as comfortable warming up as they are hopping the net to shake hands with the loser. And The T9's Dri-Lex lining sees to it that that your tootsies stay cool and dry no matter how hot or humid the weather gets.

Prince's Women's T9 Roadster

We were able to test both the men's and the women's T9 Roadsters and were suitably impressed. These aren't just one trick ponies. Their ShockEraser molded EVA midsole insert and Softspring polyurethane forefoot insert mean that your feet won't ache no matter how long you chase balls. The T9 Roadster also sports a contoured, thickly padded collar that hugs the ankle for extra security. But how well do they hold up? The Roadster's PRC 1000 outsole compound is so resilient that Prince backs it up with a six-month outsole wear guarantee. How's that for confidence?

Prince Tennis' T9 Roadster tennis shoes are an excellent addition to any player's arsenal.
