Wilson Launches New Tennis Shoe, The Rush 5

It’s rush hour on court and Wilson is bringing the speed.

Wilson today announces the launch of its newest men’s tennis shoe, the Rush 5 Tour.

Designed for the speed, physicality and relentless movement of the modern game, the Rush 5 Tour delivers explosive propulsion, uncompromising stability and tour-level durability. The revamped franchise is validated by extensive athlete testing and will be worn on court by Alex de Minaur, Karen Khachanov, Jiří Lehečka and more.

The Rush 5 Tour is Wilson’s most premium men’s tennis shoe, developed over two years through biomechanical analysis, advanced material research and continuous athlete playtesting. Every element was engineered to serve three core performance needs of the modern game— secure fit, explosive feel and controlled function at high speed:

Fit that holds when the game gets fast:

Built on the proven Rush last, the Rush 5 Tour keeps the fit players trust, while refining containment for aggressive, lateral movement.

The EndoFit internal midfoot support system wraps the foot from the inside, creating a secure and connected feel that reduces in-shoe movement and builds confidence when cutting, stopping, and pushing off at speed.

The GammaWeave engineered mesh upper adds structure where the foot needs it most, locking the foot in place during lateral load while staying lightweight and breathable. This means support without bulk and hold without stiffness.

Explosive feel from the first point to last:

Underfoot, a Pebax midsole in the forefoot delivers a lightweight, responsive ride with efficient energy return.

Inspired by elite running footwear and reimagined for tennis, it cushions and returns energy while keeping players connected to the court. The result is a fast, controlled feel that stays consistent through long matches and high-intensity rallies.

Function for every direction:

At the center of the shoe is the Dual Axis Speed Carbon Frame, inspired by Wilson’s racquet engineering and built with the learnings of Wilson’s FORTYFIVE carbon racquet technology.

Designed to manage the torsional forces created by aggressive lateral movement, the midfoot “yoke” design provides stability and control where it matters most.

By reinforcing side-to-side motion while allowing natural flex through the forefoot, the system supports powerful push-offs without limiting front-to-back movement.

New, Premium Colorways:

Built to stand out, the white, bay, fiery coral palette is the first of the year, with more drops expected at each grand slam.

The Rush 5 comes in three models – Lite ($135), Pro ($170) and Tour ($210) – offering different options for multiple levels of play and preference, from beginner to professional and everything in-between.

The Rush 5 Collection will be available in-stores and online at Wilson.com starting Feb. 12th.

The Rush 5 joins Wilson’s growing premium tennis footwear assortment, including the Intrigue™ women’s tennis shoe which released last year. For more information, please visit wilson.com.
