True NJ1 but 2.3 look better in my opinion though you have more options with 4.3 in terms of colour way
Still wating for The Nadal US Open shirt which hopefully will ever come out in 2013, if hope his Night shirt is all black with Red or Light Blue or White swoosh only on all things including socks

Nadal always seems to get away with looking good with every colorway because he's got the matching attire to go with it. But for the rest of us, it's sometimes hard because we don't have much stuff that matches the certain colors. For example, I don't have much red clothing to match those red&black shoes.
But, in general, those shoes look cool. Just, not on me, unfortunately. So i probably won't buy them. I usually go for the more predominantly white colorway shoes.

If one takes away Rafa's matching outfit and just wear his court shoes with a pair of jeans and t-shirt walking down the streets, hmm...it wouldn't look so good. Too bulky and rugged-looking quite unlike the Vapor Zooms, s-l-i-c-k!

Rafa definitely plays better than his mass w/o class shoes.

I do not lace my shoes too much too often, so I'm hoping they will not break on me. My greater concern is toe box and overall width, as I have a wide foot size 13. Are 4.3 they roomier than 2.3 in forefoot?

Yes.
The 4.3's are wider and roomier than the 2.3's.
I think Nike made the adjustments from people complaining about past versions.
Infact, previous versions of both the Vapors and the CBallistecs were excruciatingly too tight of a fit for me a couple years ago. But over the past year, they made them more roomy and much more comfortable.
The most comfortable shoe, however in my opinion is the Nike Air Zoom Breathe 2K11's.

Thanks for good news!
I also have Breathe 2K11, they really feel like house slippers. But their platform is a bit too low in the heels for me, which leads to some discomfort in my knees and ankles sometimes. No such problems with CourtBallistecs platform.

And durability of course, incomparable unlike the price.

I hate the CB4.3.. I feel like playing on air.. not really gripping, lowering to the court level.. I lost a few match wearing this shoes.. I thought my knees were the problem then I switch back to Yonex and Vapor.. everything back to normal..
