Whats better?

[se0what]

i got a 50 dollar gift card for nike and i got a little more money elsewere
what should i get?
nike air max breathe cage II
or
nike air court ballistec 1.3?

my feet run a little wide (well wide enough so my forefoot seems cramped in the vapor 6's every once in a while

oh and one more thing which one has better cushioning, and durability?

Dude get the Breathe Cage II's, they're a lot lighter than the CB's, a lot more breathable than the CB's, I think the cushioning of the two are comparable, but the durability of the Cage's is a lot better, I've had my CB's for around a month and they're already about half worn through, admittedly I do play fifteen hours a week on hard courts but still, my Cages lasted me around five months (not all of which was spent playing 15 hours a week but still)

I even liked the Ballistec 1.2. The ballistecs lasted longer than the breathe cages for me. The Ballistecs are also more stable, more comfortable but heavier.

I think after you break them in sufficiently the Cage's are a bit wider

I have cages and ballistecs. I have also tried on the vapors. If your feet feel cramped in the vapors sometimes, do not buy the ballistecs. They will be too narrow for you. They fit me great but the vapors were too big in the toe box for me. Cages are a nice shoe and are not as tight as the ballistecs.
