Wilson Rush Lite 5 Men’s Tennis Shoes
The Wilson Rush Lite 5 men’s tennis shoes are designed for players who want lightweight, agile performance without sacrificing comfort. Suited to club players, social competitors, and anyone training on hard courts or multi-purpose surfaces across New Zealand, these shoes are built to handle fast footwork, long rallies, and quick transitions.
Whether you are working on speed drills, match play, or extended training sessions, the Rush Lite 5 keeps your feet supported and responsive throughout.
Fit and Comfort
The EndoFit midfoot support provides light but reliable structure, helping your foot stay secure during lateral movements and sudden cuts. The single-layer engineered mesh upper adapts to different foot shapes for a natural, forgiving fit, reducing pressure points while keeping the foot locked in for confidence on every step.
Underfoot, a supercompressed drop-in EVA sockliner works with R DST+ midsole foam to deliver a balance of cushioning and responsive rebound. This combination absorbs impact from hard surfaces and keeps legs feeling fresh, even through long rallies or extended practice sessions.
Speed and Durability
A TPU Speed Plate under the forefoot supports explosive take-offs and rapid transitions, keeping you on your front foot during fast exchanges. The Duralast high-abrasion rubber outsole offers top-tier grip on hard courts, while the medial rubber drag pad protects high-wear areas during slides and quick stops.
At the same time, the single-layer EVA mesh upper enhances breathability and flexibility, so the shoe moves naturally with the foot while remaining lightweight for quick shifts across the court.
