yes I have seen them at factory store for $45. I had to pass because of color, which looks ugly for normal wear. Also found Vapor VI with same problem as 1.3 & guy at counter said they are sample model. (that's why color change)

If you go through your shoes very fast then go for it.

I found great deal on Vapor VI after chrisms sale for $30 (black/whiteblue). They were same as retail version.

They could be sample shoes.

Jburton is correct. Those are samples, probably sales samples as those end up at nike outlets most of the time. Sales samples are what gets shown to buyers from different retailers. And sometimes what gets shown isnt even the final version, as the tooling/molds get changed as shown in the comparison. Fun to see tho.

Got a pair of clay Vapor V's through today- not bad for £20 :D
Will post pics after i've got something to eat. I'd normally prioritise, but insanely busy day of essay writing and lectures have made me reconsider

Still hungry, but there you go...student life.
Anyway, vapor V clay sole (alternatively known as a bargin)

And my current uni-rotation. RF vi's for indoor, Black V's with Lace Up Save Lives laces for decent outdoor courts and training, Cages for crappy courts and coaching, and the new ones hopefully for the near future when i can hit the clay again. I might use the laces from the cages in the vapors for the federer french open look...

Cheers man, really pleased with them.
Had a little play with the laces, liking the navy ones

Found them on the bay, and just put in a bid at the last min, hence the ridiculously low price

i know i know. im just playing along :) just curious what are those small white boxes?

They are attachments for the very small 2 point stringing machine. They are supposed to snug with the curvature of the racquet head. However i've found that they damage the grommets so i don't use them anymore.

Just the standard i think- NIKE AIR ZOOM VAPOR V CLAY, nothing to precise. I just found them by putting nike vapor tennis in

What size laces did you get for Nike red saves lives?

I picked up a pair and did not realize they had 3 sizes- got the 90sz and they're way too short!

and these are what i'm wearing next in rotation w/ the lunarlites. the 4 in the back are pretty much done. the bronze cage 1's however, are one of my favorite colorways of all time, so i'm still hesitant to beat them up on the courts.

Got two of these, standard hard court sole. One is in its box until the other gives up. Love them, so comfy.

Clay court version, played in them for the first time a few days ago, felt great on the har-tru. Nice that I don't have to clean the soles of my hard courts shoes now I have these, was a pain!

These look custom. I've never seen 1.3's with the white strap things and then grey nubs (drag-on x). If you get any more custom ballistecs 1.3 or 2.3 i'd love to see some pics.

My new acquisitions, sorry for the lazy pic. I'm too lazy and unskilled to get those pro-looking shots.

Finally bought my first Cage II shoes. Tried it on and it felt really comfortable. Much better than the CB 1.3


yeah l have three pairs. They are better compare to c.b. 1.3 & 2.3 in cushioning and comfort. Also they are not heavy as 1.3 for sure. CB 2.3 comes closer to best in all category but cage II with price tag is best choice.

Yeah, only thing is...if they come in different colors, I would definitely buy another to keep as backups.
