The Rush 5 Tour is the newest men's tennis shoe by Wilson. This model is designed to meet the demands of the modern game's speed, physicality, and relentless movement through a combination of explosive propulsion, stability, and durability. The performance features of the tennis shoe are validated by extensive athlete testing with professionals such as Alex de Minaur and Karen Khachanov.
Wilson developed the Rush 5 Tour over two years using biomechanical analysis and advanced material research. The sneaker features an EndoFit internal midfoot support system that wraps the foot from within to reduce in-shoe movement during aggressive lateral cuts, while a GammaWeave engineered mesh upper adds lightweight structure and breathability precisely where needed. A Pebax midsole in the forefoot delivers responsive energy return inspired by elite running footwear but reimagined for tennis.
