whats better?

[indpndntrd]

what shoes are better: adidas barricade II, adidas barricade III, nike air zoom vapor speed, or nike maz breathe free II?

 

[rfederer32291]

that is a very hard choice, because all of those shoes are high end, but i would have to go with nike air zoom vapor speed for comfort and the barricade IIIs for durability.

breathe free II are the shoes you should go for. barricade iii is a bit on the heavy side. vapor speed wears out WAY TOO fast!

I've worn 3 of the 4

Based on my experience, I would rank them as follows:

1) Breathe Free II (great fit, support,traction)
2) Barricade II (great fit, durability)
3) Barricade III (runs slightly wider, feels heavy)

I've not tried the vapor speeds.

anything but the vapor speeds they gave me blisters and the tongue slipped too much...

All things considered, I feel the Barricade Classic (AKA Barricade II) are about the best shoes you can get. I am currently wearing the B III now but will probably go back to the B II when I need a new pair. I found the B III to be more durable but the B II is nearly as good in that department and was for me more comfortable (better fitting). Also, the B II is less expensive than the B III.

Jason Taylor the Dolphin?...or is there another Jason Taylor?

I`d say the adidas barricade III`s are the best choice for durability

 

[ZoomUltraflight]

speeds-veyr nice but some people have complains
AMBF2s-amazing shoe, to most it is a veyr good shoe
B2+3-they are too narrow for my foot, but they *seemed* to be nice shoes

IMO vapor speeds are best but only if you can afford $100 a month for them. they wear out very fast.

I love the cushioning and durability of the barricade III.

for the best of both worlds, there is the breathe free 2. better durability than the speeds with very good cushioning.
