K-SWISS Hypercourt Supreme 2 Clay Tennis Shoes | Hokimi Selected

Clay asks a player to launch for a short ball, slide and recover balance for the next shot. Across two matches, support and cushioning become memorable before colour does. K-SWISS was founded in California in 1966 by two Swiss brothers inspired by leather ski boots, creating an early all-leather tennis shoe. The Hypercourt Supreme 2 Clay continues that court focus through containment, cushioning, durability and clay-specific traction rather than retro styling alone.

• Official features include Durawrap X forefoot support, dual-density Surgelite and Shock Spring cushioning, Dragguard 7.0 protection in high-wear areas and a herringbone outsole designed for clay.
• A soft bootie collar supports the ankle area for baseline movement, net approaches and weekend competition. A clay outsole is purpose-led and is not automatically best on every hard court or wet street.
• It targets frequent, fast-moving players. Very wide feet, orthotic users and first-time K-SWISS buyers should try the shoe and check toe room, heel lock and match-sock thickness.
• The K-SWISS page currently lists EUR 119, reduced from EUR 170. Confirm men's model 09072-415-M, the Clay version, size, stock and returns before paying.

Hokimi field note: test lateral stops in both training and match socks. Comfort while walking straight does not prove the heel will remain locked during a slide and recovery.
