The new Head Endure tennis footwear lineup.
HeadThe BOA Performance Fit System is coming back to tennis footwear. And this time Head introduces two dials, a first in the world of tennis.
The new Head Endure Pro BOA men’s tennis shoe, launching July 17, brings two of BOA’s fit-forming dials—instead of laces—to the shoe’s upper to really personalize the fit.
“With the integration of the BOA Performance Fit System, featuring a dual Li2 dial configuration, we’ve brough a new level of precision to tennis footwear,” Carlos Lopez, Head’s global product manager of footwear, tells me. “This setup allows players to micro-adjust the fit in two distinct zones-down to the millimeter—for truly personalized support and pressure distribution.”
The new Head Endure Pro BOA includes two BOA Fit dials for precise lockdown on the tennis court.
HeadIt’s about more than just personalization. “The result is enhanced lockdown, better energy transfer and consistent comfort for every level of play,” Lopez says.
The new Endure Pro BOA, priced at $199, becomes the pinnacle option within the Endure series and sits between Head’s Revolt and Sprint offerings with its blend of speed, durability and stability, the brand says.
Developed and tested at the BOA laboratories in the United States (and on tennis courts across the world), the Endure Pro BOA features two Li2 dials with a BOA PerformFit Wrap. Head says the side panels offer extra stability compared to lacing methods.
“It’s a bold step forward that will reshape how players connect with their footwear on courts around the world,” Simon Brenneis, Head global business manager for footwear, tells me.
The Head Endure Pro BOA is the first tennis shoe to feature dual BOA Fit dials.
HeadThe Endure Pro BOA launches alongside the lace-up Endure Pro, a $169 model. Both shoes feature a new frame technology that uses a 3D TPU design for stability both from heel to toe and torsional stability. Integrated cooling in the frame enhances ventilation. DynaFoam on the heel ups the shock absorption, while Head added EVA foam in the forefoot for reactive energy. The PU-molded upper offers protection in specific areas and reduced material in others to keep the weight down.

Head will offer both shoes in a multi-surface rubber outsole and clay versions that feature an all-over herringbone tread.
“Our collaboration with BOA has been nothing short of exceptional,” Brenneis says. “By uniting our expertise and shared drive for innovation, we’ve launched a product unlike anything tennis has seen before, setting a new standard in both performance and design.”
