The Nike Zoom GP Challenge 1 is a men’s hard‑court tennis shoe designed for players seeking a responsive, cushioned ride combined with stability and durability on fast surfaces.

It features dual Zoom Air units in the forefoot and heel for energy return, a midfoot plastic stability plate to resist torsion, and high‑abrasion rubber in strategic areas for extra durability. Its upper combines synthetic and mesh layers, with a medial drag‑guard for toe protection and webbing around the lacing system for support.
Pros include plush underfoot cushioning, excellent outsole durability, and confident lateral stability. On the downside, the elevated ride may feel a bit disconnected to some, and the lacing system (plus tongue fit) could be more secure — some users even suggest sizing up half a size.
The Nike Zoom GP Challenge 1 is best suited for intermediate to advanced hard‑court players who prioritize cushioning and longevity, and are comfortable compensating for a slightly higher ride.
