New Shoes?

[In)SpiRe]

I basically burned through my Cage II's and will be ordered some new shoes to replace them while they are getting replaced. Any suggestions?

What I'm looking for: Something with good traction that can help me with my footwork, toe durable if at all possible as I wear through shoes pretty quick, and not too heavy (something I can glide along the court with). Preferably Nike, but would accept other brand if they are worth it.

Any help? Thanks!


Edit: Went with the Vapor 5's:

Hmm I'm thinking Vapors if you wnat something light, but its not too durable.

Adidas barricades are always a safe choice, but you're a nike man..

So maybe just another pair of Cages?

I like the durability of the Cages, but it feels too "above the ground" if yall understand; I'd like something low to the ground. And my feet are sometimes swimming in there. I would like something preferably tighter and more narrow. I'd prefer lighter as I can move pretty fast, but my shoes sometimes drags me down. Durability isn't HUGE, as I will only be using these shoes for practice until I get my replaced Cages, then I will use the shoes for games only and use the replaced Cages for practice.

From what you have stated, if I were you, I would go with the Vapors.

I am sorta leaning to the Vapor 5's but I wish they had a six month guarantee :/. But I guess it won't matter as these will be game day shoes once I get my Cages back... Anybody else?

Got news for you. You will not be getting replacement shoes from Nike. You get a voucher that can only be used at Nike.com. Right now the only size available in cage 2's is 12. So if you wear a 12, you can get Cage 2's, if not SOL.

Hmm, so I'm just gonna get store credit pretty much then right? do they sell tennis shoes on Nike.com? Would I be able to buy like another Vapor V or what?

Does the sole warranty still apply if I get some cages from the bay??
