Wilson Rush Pro 4.5 Men's Tennis Shoes

7 products
The Wilson Rush Pro 4.5 is the durability-focused refresh of Wilson's best-selling Rush Pro, and it is still one of the most supportive all-court shoes you can buy at a club-player price. A graduated engineered mesh upper, a larger medial mud guard, a thicker lateral drag pad and the 4D Support Chassis 2.0 target the places a hard-hitting baseliner wears shoes out first. It comes in all-court and clay versions, and the current successor is the Rush Pro 5.
Below is every men's Rush Pro 4.5 colorway we carry at Racquet Point, all-court, clay and team, with Wilson footwear shipping free over $75. Looking for the women's version? See the women's Rush Pro 4.5.
What is new in the Rush Pro 4.5
Wilson calls the 4.5 a step on from the Rush Pro 4.0: the same family, with upgrades to breathability, support and abrasion resistance.
Support that runs heel to toe
The 4D Support Chassis 2.0 splits the chassis under the foot and adds a lateral piece from heel to toes, so you get forward propulsion with stability through dynamic movement.
A mesh that breathes where it should
The engineered mesh is graduated: larger holes toward the front to move air, a tighter weave toward the heel to keep the foot held in place.
Armor on the wear zones
A larger integrated medial mud guard protects the inside edge, and the enlarged lateral rubber drag pad is extra thick and shaped to follow the foot, to resist abrasion.
Inside the Rush Pro 4.5
- Graduated engineered mesh upper: open at the forefoot for airflow, tighter at the heel for support.
- 4D Support Chassis 2.0: a split chassis for stability and forward propulsion.
- Lightweight Energy Cell EVA: forefoot cushioning on impact that responds as you spring back.
- Integrated medial mud guard: larger than the 4.0, protecting the inside of the shoe.
- Thickened lateral drag pad: anatomically shaped rubber where toe drag opens holes first.
- Textile lining and rubber outsole: a durable, all-surface build.
Rush Pro 4.5 vs Rush Pro 5, Tour 5 and Lite 5
The Rush Pro 4.5 is the previous generation of the Rush Pro, so it is usually the value pick. The 5-series shoes add newer chassis and midsole technology.

| Rush Pro 5 | $170 | EndoFit and TPU stability chassis | Dual-density midsole | Competitive players who want the current stability shoe |
| Rush Tour 5 | $210 | Dual Axis Speed Carbon chassis | Super foam | Advanced players who want maximum lateral support |
| Rush Lite 5 | $135 | EndoFit and TPU Speed Plate | RDST+ with EVA sockliner | Quick players who want a lighter all-court shoe |
The short version
All-court, clay or team colorways
The all-court Rush Pro 4.5 (Black/White, Black/Infrared) has a rubber outsole made to work across surfaces. The Rush Pro 4.5 Clay (Black/Infrared, Infrared, Navy Blazer) is the clay-court build for players who slide. The Team White/Deja Vu Blue is the light-colored option for clubs and teams that want a mostly white shoe.
