Exclusive: Nike Air Max Courtballistec 4.3.

Nike puts forth an evolutionary follow up for Rafael Nadal’s next signature shoe model, the Nike Air Max Courtballistec 4.3.
Here’s a Rafaholics exclusive first look at the shoes, in two colorways:

• - White/Neptune Blue/Action Green/Obsidian
• - White/Metallic Silver/Neutral Grey/Black

Nike Air Max Courtballistec 4.3 sticks to a familiar setting with the same midsole/outsole tooling (Lunarlon forefoot, visible Max Air heel, internal EVA strobel board, XDR rubber outsole) as the current Air Max Courtballistec 3.3 model. The upper is where the action heats up though, as Nike has installed a Hyperfuse composite construction for Nadal this year, complete with dual-density Drag-on 2x for durability.

This year’s Courtballistec 3.3 retails for $125. With industry price hikes coming across the board, the Nike Air Max Courtballistec 4.3 is no different and will kick up an extra $5 for a $130 price point. Releases Spring 2012.
