CB 3.3 Warranty Countdown **ShOcKing PhOtOs**

JoelDali · 02-13-2011, 07:43 AM

These shoes along with the Thorlo L3 have cured my year long battle with the evil foot pain God of Plantar. I guess the CB 2.3 were the culprit all along.

Last night I played 3 sets with no pain for the first tme in over a year and was not limping afterwards.

The CB 3.3 are simply the best.

Anyhoo, here are the souls after 25 hours of play on Newbury Park deco turf and JP Paulsen's indoor hard tru court.

Terrible durability. You should be through in about 5 more hours.

jkang909 · 02-13-2011, 08:07 AM

theyre definitely still good enough to play with for a few more days... but i always had bad experiences with traction and durability with nike tennis shoes

JoelDali · 02-13-2011, 08:15 AM

For $65 a pair I'm sold. Warrantys make me hoeknee.

You got a couple more weeks out of those babies. I'll admit though, these shoes weren't the most durable shoes, but I love them so.

They are more precious than Mirka's favorite diamonds that LubeCheck(tm) gave her when they departed eachother's arms forever.

It might pull a 2.3 and be a terrible amount of rubber after you go through the tread...

tennisnoob3 · 02-13-2011, 01:26 PM

how would you compare 2.3 to these so far in durability?

these pics came from joel's previous thread and he said used about 40 hours.
I guess new cb 3.3 is 1/4 less durable than cb 2.3

I think the price includes replacement of warranty shoes or voucher.
Actually, nike employees can get those prices but nike employees are excluded from 6 month outsole warranty so basically same price.

I havnt answered the 2.3 question because I'm not sure yet.

I do feel that possibly I'm tearing through the 3.3 quicker. But, I've been playing on really rough hardcourts with them.

1 pair $125
1 warranty pair free

= $65 a pair after shipping.

These are so much better. The sole doesn't go smooth.

whats great about these shoes compared to 2.3 warranty is it actually opens the rubber instead of the 2.3 tread which lasts one hour on the court and then it takes so much longer to break them on flat smooth no traction rubber. the cb 3.3 seems to still maintain some ridges and bumps so still not that smooth! thats great! good job nike GSOAT after break in i believe!

These shoes blow the 2.3 away.

No comparison.

None.

GSOAT.

I love these shoes so damn much. With the Thorlos I have found heaven.

Saw a guy last night with the Rafa AO open outfit and 3.3 and I have to say he looked damn cool...great looking kit in person.

i have two pairs of Cb 3.3s great shoes indeed!
White/red and black/yellow
However the black i believe is a better color.

I also have the rival of the shoes the Barricade 6.0s
Which i believe to be tight in comparison they are great fitting and have i believe probably a better durability than a 3.3. These thoughts are all in my opinion.

However the stability and comfortability that the 3.3 after being broken in is just out of this world. Such a well fitted shoe. I use all types of socks dress socks, Adidas Climacool, Nike Dri-fit, Underarmour and the shoe still feels great!

2 more hours of doubles...

so which one has better durability? 2.3 or 3.3?
what was total hours of playing time for both shoes?

JoelDali · 02-28-2011, 07:42 PM

Its tough to say Kim.

I'm a toe dragger and the 3.3 are not showing as much wear as a 2.3. They are much sturdier for toe draggers.

I think the sole is about the same. I've been playing on a pretty rough hardcourt this winter so they are wearing down quicker than the summer clay

All of this doesn't matter. With a warranty they are 2 for 1.

And they fit so well I'd pay 150 for them.

They have made my plantar disappear. The 2.3 were the problem all along. I hate to admit that after calling them gsoat for a year.
