Other brands, such as adidas, developed a completely new shoe, a revolution in the tennis footwear industry with the Stycon, the first laceless performance tennis shoe!

We are excited to introduce the best new men's tennis shoes of 2020 to you and to explain the main differences of the updates. This list of 2020's best new tennis shoes is not in any particular order and will be updated throughout the year with more new shoes, our feedback and reviews.

The adidas Stycon is the first laceless performance tennis shoe! Engineered for modern aggressive movers, it will let you slide into your shots without fear of shredding any laces. A midfoot elastic lock-down hugs the foot, making for a very snug and secure fit. BOUNCE midsole cushioning protects from harsh landings, and will allow players to grind out long matches.

Engineered and designed for one of the best movers on tour, Rafa Nadal, the Nike Air Zoom Vapor Cage 4s will meet the standards of players that are hard on their shoes, demand serious support, enhanced stability, ridiculous levels of responsiveness and maximum durability. Hard court sliders will appreciate how the outsole is integrated into the upper where you need it the most for enhanced durability.

The main updates on the 2020 Nike Air Zoom Vapor Cage 4 are the improved durability and stability. The unique lacing wrap around the foot supports the foot while moving and the covered medial lace eyestays adds durability while sliding. In addition a full-length frame on the lateral side was added for extra stability and a Zoom Air unit in the forefoot for a springy sensation with every set. The Cage 4 offers a wider, roomy fit and a slightly stiffer feel through the upper for more stability. We still recommend ordering your normal size. The Cage 4 is available in an all-court and clay court outsole.
