Rush Pro 5 Jr Tennis Shoes
This is the Deja Vu Blue version of Wilson's junior performance shoe, and the construction underneath the colorway is the serious part: an extended TPU plate sits inside the midsole and holds the foot flat and stable through a hard lateral push, which is what separates a real junior tennis shoe from a cushioned running shoe pressed into service on court.
The trade-off is protection against weight and cost. The plate, the Duralast rubber outsole and the R-DST+ midsole all add grams and dollars, and a junior playing a weekly lesson will never call on any of them. A junior playing three or four times a week will, because those are the parts that stop the outsole wearing through by mid-season and keep the ankle supported when a ball pulls them wide.
Key Features
- Extended TPU plate runs through the midsole and resists twisting, which is where junior shoes most often give way.
- R-DST+ midsole pairs cushioning with energy return, keeping repeated sprints and stops comfortable across a long day of matches.
- Duralast High Abrasion Rubber in the outsole is Wilson's hard-wearing compound, built for juniors who drag a toe or slide on hard courts.
- EndoFit inner sleeve wraps the midfoot so the foot moves with the shoe rather than inside it.
- Gammaweave mesh upper keeps air moving through the shoe while holding its shape.
- Textile upper and lining stay soft against growing feet.
- Low-cut construction keeps the ankle free instead of binding it in a high collar.
Specifications
- Upper: Textile
- Lining: Textile
- Outsole: Rubber (Duralast High Abrasion)
- Sport: Tennis
- Gender: Junior
- Cut: Low
- Sizes: 2 US - 7 US
Who It's For
- Junior competitors training several times a week, where outsole life is the real cost driver.
- Juniors who destroy the toe or outside edge of general sport shoes within a season.
- Players who want a colorway that hides court dust better than an all-white shoe.
- Juniors stepping up from a running shoe who need genuine side-to-side support.
- Parents who would rather buy one competition-grade pair than two cheap pairs.
Why Buy This Shoe
The comparison that matters is against the Rush Pro Ace Jr, the other junior shoe in Wilson's range. The Ace is cheaper, roomier through the toe and built around comfort; this one is built around stability, with a TPU plate and abrasion-resistant outsole the Ace does not have. Wide junior feet and a tight budget point to the Ace. A tournament schedule points here.
Note that this colorway runs 2 US to 7 US only, so it does not cover the smaller little-kid sizes offered in the white versions. If your junior is still growing quickly, the shoe may be outgrown well before the outsole gives out, and a cheaper pair is the more sensible purchase.
