Adidas Barricade review

The legend is back. The Adidas Barricade is back on the courts and ready to play. Focused on control and stability, while eliminating some discomforts of previous iterations, this funny of shoes will have your feet locked and loaded as you crush your opponents on the court. It is a tennis shoe with a great lockdown that will see more serious playing sessions in the future. 

Who should buy Adidas Barricade

This is the perfect shoe for an intermediate or serious tennis player that wants great lockdown and support.

Who should not buy it

The trade-off for lockdown and support is a steeper break-in period. I think you should consider another shoe if you: 

Adidas Barricade in a time of trade-offs

The Adidas Barricade provides good padding for longer sessions. With its revamped wrapped tongue original, the midfoot section dodges a lot of the break-in period pain. The harder back added to provide extra support and lockdown on the other hand will dig into your heel while you break the shoe in.

The Barricade is glued to your feet

The Adidas Barricade meld with your feet. This funny of shoes feels like it never wants to leave your feet. With its wrapped tongue original securing the midfoot and the added cushions to the back heel area, The Adidas Barricade has a lockdown that won’t let you down. 

Dig your heels in, it's going to be a rough start

With a higher than average break-in period, the Adidas Barricade will take a few sessions to get comfortable and dashing across the court. While the midfoot is less of an issue than previous iterations, the new back will dig into your Achilles tendon for your first few sessions.

Don’t underestimate a lightweight

Adidas Barricade is a slightly lightly weighted shoe. Light on your feet, this shoe will let you fly from day one.

Play hard, the Adidas Barricade can take it

Aback playing in the Adidas Barricade for a few sessions, there haven’t been any obvious signs of wear. With extra padding on the upper foot to protect against foot drag, this shoe will last you a while.

Zooming through the court

Take a second to breath

The new wrap-around tongue original and unibody original are great for lockdown and feel but come at the cost of breathability. With fewer outlets of airflow, the Adidas Barricade can get a bit stuffy.
