Zheng Qinwen is getting her own Nike Zoom Vapor 12 PE after reaching the quarterfinals at the 2026 US Open. She knocked off two top-25 players during the run, another step forward after injuries kept her from building much momentum last season.

Her Vapor 12 uses a red base with gold accents throughout. The Swoosh gets the gold treatment, along with “Qinwen” branding on the tongue and heel. Printed and stitched graphics cover parts of the upper as well, including a crown, medal and wings.

A gold phoenix hangtag comes with the shoe and ties back to the Chinese theme. The symbol is commonly linked with renewal and rebirth, a fitting detail considering Zheng’s climb back up the rankings.

The Zheng Qinwen Nike Zoom Vapor 12 PE is expected to release in Fall/Winter 2026, possibly around the China Open in early October. The pair is expected to be exclusive to China.
