Pretty sure that this was the shoe worn by men's sabre silver medalist Ferjani at the Paris Olympics. In fact, a good percentage of Olympic fencers wore tennis shoes rather than fencing specific shoes. In particular, recognized Mizuno Wave Exceed Tour 6 and Asics Gel Res 9's on the piste.
Good, thanks! Hope you are too. I felt like these ones were a little bit stickier right out of the box, compared to Vapor Pro (1st gen), but they broke in rather easily and started to have more give in the traction. I am not a slider on hardcourts, but the traction seemed to be good for those who could use them to slide. That said the uppers are softer than the Vapor Pro 1st gen, so they are not quite as locked-down up top, but still pretty decent support. Troy, TW
@@tenniswarehouse love it! I’ve noticed that Chris seems to be a watch guy, we need a watch collection video from him 😉 I’ve spied a Breitling Navitimer in the past I believe…
For me, I think comfort is up there, especially with the uppers and the bootie like sleeve inside these shoes; it feels nice, glove like and contoured. The uppers definitely feel a bit softer and there is plenty of mesh for breathability. Beyond that, I would probably give the nod to the Gel Res 9 for stability, and durability. So I would say for the player looking for good support, decent durability but also likes some flexibility and ventilation this Rush Pro 4.5 is great. However if you are looking for that very high level of stability and good durability, the Gel Res 9 is sort of the bench mark for that, along with Barricade 13. Troy, TW
Munish’s ankle finally made it big!!
Bruh , the RF tattoo got me 😂😂, great review 👍
Translation: they got rid of that terrible lacing system in the 4.0 that was “fixed” with more stitching but kept ripping out.

Hello Troy! How are you bro? Hope you are doing great. How would you compare the grip to the Vapor Pro 1?

@@tenniswarehouse thanks man, they sound like a good option. God bless!
is that a real RF logo tattoo on Munish??
Yes. Yes, it is. - Munish
Troy, non-tennis question - what watch are you wearing??
Not sure the exact model, but it is a Citizen Quartz. Nothing special, but one day maybe I will be higher up in the watch game like Chris 😉🤙 -Troy, TW

How does this compare to ASIC Gel Resoltiuon 9 ?
