Tennis shoes?

For those who do lots of lateral movement, what is the more perferable shoe among the two?


Nike Air Vapor IV or


Nike Air Max Breathe Cage?

Tennis shoes?
yeah, if u wanna choose between the two, u SHOULD go for Air Max cuz it not only facilitates easier foot movement but also prevents ur foot from ever getting sprained, the sole of the shoe automatically adjusts to almost any kind of torture ur foot puts it through.. and a lot of my frnds hav told me that it%26#039;s original sole lasts longer than most other shoes thus ensuring that u are not suffering frm not being able to change direction easily... although if u hav the funds and the mind, u can try adidas barricade 4, it allows max flexibility... even try adidas torrent-v, that%26#039;s the one i use and i havn%26#039;t had a single beef with it till date(i bought it about 1 1/2 years ago)
Reply:Well, I don%26#039;t know about Nike, but I want to talk about the Adidas Barricade. Yes, it is VERY famous and many people use it. Why?





On both sides of the Barricade, there are 3 stripes. The 3 stripes on the left side and the three stripes on the right side are actually the SAME three stripes. So from the left, the three stripes pass under the shoe and go to the right side, getting a good grip on your foot for more control.

Reply:If your concern in having the best for lateral movements, then I would choose the one with the lower profile (I think its the vapor). These shoes are usually harder (thinner sole) but they avoid your foot from rolling over on lateral movements.





I see a lot of folks above me recommend Adidas. These are very comfortable but I find they don%26#039;t give the support I need on lateral stops. This is probably not an issue if you are smaller in size but I am 6%26#039;2%26quot; about 210lbs I feel the Adidas do not give me the support I need and it sometimes feels like my foot is about to role over...
Reply:air max..........it has more flexibility to it and is a lot more comfortable shoe
Reply:I%26#039;d pick the Vapor 4 as well if you could fit into a narrow shoe if not then try the Air Max Breathe Cage if given just the 2 choices but @ $110 each find them way overpriced for the quality.





The best shoes IMO are the New Balance 803, %26amp; 802%26#039;s the mid cuts that can be purchased in different widths. I have 12 EE and find them very stable, comfortable, and very supportive. Great all around tennis shoes @ $70. Someone with stronger ankles may not need the added support and choose the low cut CT1200 WB, or CT1002 W which are solid shoes but on the expensive side at $99 %26amp; $85. A better value and a very good shoe is the CT 653 @ $54. Great value for the money. Get two for the price of one Nike.





You would be amazed at how many people require something different widthwise than just a D or medium width shoe. Which by the way is what Nike predominantly makes with few exceptions.





One thing I will give Nike is that they make great commercials. Enjoy I know sunny_babe will. Especially the Nadal clips.
