Oh and if it matters, i have been using the adidas tirand and loved it. But it is time for an upgrade.

Vapor 3 hands down. Lightweight, comftorble, and seems durable...for now.

Most def the Nike Vapor. Hands down better than the adidas that you picked out.

ehhh, i was leaning toward the a3 prevail. the nike fit is a bit narrow. it's just its shape. thanks though, now i have to think about it.

more opinions will also be appreciated, thank you.

Vapor 3's seemed to have very poor cushioning in the forefoot when I tried them on in the store. I could tell just by walking around in them the cushioning was not very good. I didn't buy them even though they were $50 at the Nike outlet for that reason.

I would delete that link quick or you could get banned. Hope no one reports your post.

Sorry i didn't know you can't post a link from the actual manufacturer.

I have to suggest that you go with whichever shoe fits you best. From the tw descriptions, they don't have similar fits.

I generally can't wear Nikes(BFII are an exception), because they run too narrow in the forefoot. The A3 prevail runs wider in the forefoot, so it would be a better shoe for me.

A glove like fit is really worthwhile compared to another shoe that may have other advantages but never quite fits right.

Nike Vapor 3's cushioning in general is poor... and from personal experience, I got a huge callus from wearing it so I say nay for Vapor 3
