Nike Air Zoom Cage 4 Release Date ?
- Thread starter danbrenner
- Start date
Um, what's going on with the laces on the medial side of the white pair?? Was it just a sample shoe photo? The other two colors aren't this way...
It isn't just the medial side laces that are different. The "Cage" design is a different one on the white one as well. It definitely has to be pre-production version.

I actually like all the current colorways. I'd take them all if I could afford them and the fit was better for me.

i have to say these are the fugliest shoes i have seen Nadal ever endorse. My goodness. they are truly hideous

I actually like the look of the shoe...will be much better with better colorways though. Nike has really overplayed volt in particular the past few years.
May consider giving them a try, although it sounds like they will be a bit snug for my wider feet. Solecourt Boost really shines here (but I'd also like some better colorways)

Getting the "Sprinkle" treatment too
I went into my local tennis specialty this weekend wearing my Vapor Cages. Because of the heel slippage issue I'm having, I was looking to try on a pair one half size down to see if it solves the heel issue without sacrificing my toe, arch and instep areas too much. My concern is that once these shoes really start to break-in, the upper will be so loose that I just won't be able to play in them any longer.
Strangely enough, this locally retailer hasn't received their shipment so they haven't seen the actual shoe yet. When they saw mine, they were BLOWN AWAY! They loved the look of the shoe and think it's going to sell very well for them.
Again, the more I play in them the more I think these are the evolution of the Ballistecs that the Zoom Zero should have been. It's out and out a durability shoe and players that like that grounded, super-stable feel while you're moving around the court are really going to love these I think.

Sent my pair back. While I liked the on court performance and look, they gave me the same pain at the base of my big toe (where a bunion would occur) and crushed pinky toe that the Cage 3 did. I was hoping the fit would be different enough but it was not to be. Back to my stash of ZZ.

I too went half a size down. Fits perfectly now after my usual 9 was too long.
good to hear. Unfrortunately out the money for my firsts pair, but as Nike+ member, get a 30 day test run in the pair sized down.

Rafael Nadal Provides Insight On New NikeCourt Cage 4 Tennis Shoe
Debuting on the feet of the likes of Rafael Nadal, Kyle Edmond, Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev this month in Australia, the new Vapor Cage 4 really blends the clean aesthetic and speed of the Vapor line with the durability and stability of the Cage line.

It’s a nice colorway.
Try these on before you buy. Definitely work better for me half a size down. A bit heavier than my normal shoe (zoom zero) but don’t fee that it compromises movement. Think Nike did well with this and I am looking forward to the new gp turbo this summer as well. Also excited for the air tech challenge 30 coming our way.
I am a 9 in zoom zero and 8.5 in cage 4. Never used cage 3.
I don't care if they don't fit me, these colourways are dooopppppppppppeeee!
love the fairy bread colorway!

Saw those in person the other night. Awesome colorway.

My take, as someone with minor lower back problems, the Cage 3 was already semi-hard to get on, the Cage 4 is worse/terrible. I'll keep the pair I got just because I got a discount, but this won't replace the Vapor X for me.

Wowzas. Love it
Not a white shoe guy, but will likely buy either these or the zoom zeros in this colorway.
I really do not like this color..I don't care if they don't fit me, this colourway is dooopppppppppppeeee!

Those look like a pair the house painter wears, after stepping into some dog droppings.
Seriously, I can't begin to understand the thinking behind that colorway. Kaka stained brown with rainbow sparkle on white...what in the actual f?
Brutal.

Thanks

Double stacked Zoom!!! Air Jordan 18, 19 and some Lebrons had it and it's amazing.

Am I the only one who saw that an actual brick and mortar store was selling the nikecourt essential socks? Those are some hard socks to find, let alone irl. I know only one tennis shop where I live that sells those, and it's on and off if they have them and the colors.
He has these ones on
He's not wearing these. He's wearing a custom colorway. His shoes don't have the Volt color.
That's because there is no green/volt. Where the volt would be, Jarry's are all white.

Weird, TWE just posted it but with blue on the inside portion which does not work well at all. Bummer.

Tried on the Cage 4, Resolution 8, Asics FF and New Balance 996V4 yesterday. The Cage 4 was the most stable followed by the FF. The 996 was the lightest by far but didn't seem like there was too much support. Comfort wise for me was the Cage 4 and the FF with the 996 being close in comfort to those two.That new Zoom Vapor Cage 4 could be more stable, durable and comfortable than the Resolution 8 (or 7)?
Or that's just impossible...?

Can you comment on traction between the FF and the Cage 4?

No. I didn't wear them on court. Only walked around in them at the store. I would be curious to know myself.

cannot compare them to the ff, but after about 8 hours on court, the rubber softens up nicely and provides great traction. Not that it was bad in the beginning but better after slight break in. Think these might be close to passing the zoom zero as my shoes of choice.
