Hey guys. I am wondering if any of you are loyal to one line. I have worn two pairs of vapors this year and one pair of cage2s. Which one do you think is better and why. Please give real responses if you have worn both. Please do not respond "vapors are better" or "i like the cage line"

I've always been a vapor man, from II's to V's, but brought a pair of cages just before christmas, because i got them on offer, and my vapors were dying.
So having tried both, i personally remain in love with the vapors. I just prefer the low to the ground, lightness of them. Never been overly fussed about durability, and just find them to fit me better. I use the cages for training and really shoddy courts, but crack out the vapors for matches. Currently weighing up the option of more V's, or the Vi's

Breathe Cage II is my choice

I wore Vapor V until soles were completely worn. Then I switched to Vapor VI, and my feet started developing blisters. So I tried Breathe Cage II, and boy, I have fallen in love with BC II ever since!

BC II is lighter and more more comfortable then Vapor VI, in my opinion.
Even compared to BC 1.3, they are much ligher and maneuverable.

Only drawback is, soles are very soft and wear out very quickly.

Other than that, BC II all the way...

Hope this helps...

Always been a vopr man and loved the 5's ecspecially but the Ballistecs are the best shoe i've ever tried... Even better than the breath free II

I prefer the cages as they simply fit my feet better. They are not as narrow as the Vapor series.

I play most of the time in clay, have 2 pairs of ballistec 1.3 and a pair of vapor VI and I feel more stable with the ballistec. It's just my preference, and I bought the vapors because they look amazing (got the white and blue ones) but my feet are more loose inside them and honestly the ballistecs are better for me.

i've been wearing barricades for the last 6-7 years and i just bought a pair of Ballistec 1.3... went from size 11 to 10.5

Let's see how that works out.

Had a pair of vapors and tore through them in 15 hours on a hardcourt, not impressed.

I always wore the Breathe frees and then cages and now CB 1.3s, and wore a Vapor 2 and Vapor 5 in between because of their looks, but I like the wrap around fit of the cage/CBs much better

I've worn both lines and prefer the fit, comfort, and playability of the breathes. I've worn each generation of the breathes and feel like the IIs are the best.

As far as fitting my feet the BFII's fit be the best. I tried the Cage I and II and they pinch because they are too narrow. I really like the Vapor line but the do wear out fast. The sixth version is too narrow and stiff.
