The Wilson Men's Clay Court Rush Tour 5 CTC Tennis Shoes in White/Black (accented with vibrant Infrared Red along the lateral chassis) blend a clay-dedicated full herringbone outsole with tour-level carbon technology. Engineered for high-speed clay court movers, this shoe provides explosive energy return, supreme lateral lockdown, and controlled sliding across soft surfaces.
Performance Profile
- Clay-Dedicated Tread: Features a full-length, deep herringbone Duralast rubber outsole designed to dig into loose clay for traction during sudden accelerations while shedding court dirt to facilitate smooth, controlled slides.
- Carbon-Driven Propulsion: Incorporates Wilson’s SpeedCarbon 45 frame integrated into the midsole—utilizing 45-degree carbon weave mechanics inspired by Wilson racquets—paired with forefoot Pebax foam for maximum springback energy on push-offs.
- Torsional Rigidity & Midfoot Lockdown: Combines a Dual Axis Speed Carbon Chassis with an internal EndoFit sock sleeve to anchor the foot securely, preventing twisting and internal movement during heavy lateral cuts and slide recoveries.
- Lightweight Abrasion Defense: Applies Ceramic 5D technology—a thin, ceramic-infused TPU film—across high-wear toe-drag and medial sliding zones to withstand abrasive court friction without adding heavy rubber weight.
Best Suited For
- Clay-Court Grinders & Slide Movers: Competitors who push their baseline play to the max and rely on deep herringbone tread for precise stopping power and controlled slides.
- Toe-Draggers & Hard Movers: Athletes needing targeted, heavy-duty abrasion protection in high-wear forefoot areas.
- Locked-In Fit Preference: Ideal for players looking for a supportive, rigid chassis paired with a glove-like midfoot sleeve for maximum direct court feedback.
