Thanks for getting me to go check for myself. There are indeed all kinds of shoe deals. Got myself a pair of Vapor Xs for $59.99. Now only size 9 is left. Blue and neon green, but better than camo. There was also black and gold camo for a few bucks more, and it had more sizes available.
In general it seems that although the shoe prices have gone up, manufacturers scaled way back on outsole guarantees. Zoom Vapors and Barricades have always had a guarantee, but now they don't, so the next time you are buying shoes you better double check that if you are used to the outsole warranty. I myself would have gone for the New balance 996v3 for $69 if I wasn't leaving overseas in a short while (and can't use the outsole warranty). Normally the warranty means you are getting two pairs for the price, because even if you play tennis just once a week, the outsole wears out long before 6 months.
