Players expecting the same fit would be wise to try on a couple sizes first to ensure they have the appropriate fit. Compared to the previous model, the Cage 3 ran a little snugger in width and through the toe box. I stayed with my usual size but could have gone up a half size to give myself a little extra breathing room at the end of the shoe. The length ran a little short in my opinion.

The redesigned mesh bootie with rubber overlay required minimal break in time and was significantly more flexible than the upper on the previous model. Out of the box, the Cage 3 was much more comfortable than the Cage 2 it replaced. There have been a lot if high performing “sock” liner shoes coming out recently so I was excited to see how this new offering from Nike stacked up against the competition. The replacement for the Cage 2, this update sports a new bootie style construction and a redesigned upper for improved flexibility and breathability.

Their latest innovation comes by way of introducing the new Nike Zoom Cage 3.
