This 13th edition of the Barricade has better step-in comfort than ever before, while still retaining the trusty support, stability, and durability that is ingrained in its DNA.
The adidas Barricade 13 carries on the legacy of being the ultimate court shoe, by continuing to instill confidence in your movement. When it comes to hardcourt stability and durability the Barricade has been an industry leader for nearly two decades, however with the last couple of iterations adidas has refined and put emphasis on improving the comfort and ventilation. The upper of these shoes features breatheable mesh and is reinforced in the high wear and drag zones with Adituff Recycled material; durability meets sustainability. Adding to the comfort and new to this update is the Dual Density Repetitor midsole cushioning, delivering a super soft and energetic response as you move around the court. Heel comfort and lockdown is maintained through the Geofit pods, while the tried and true Torsion System remains, to help you with intense changes of direction and sliding control. The outsole is equipped with Adiwear 2.0 rubber in a split-herringbone design for maximum durability, traction, and sliding capabilities. This shoe features a Tennis Warehouse six month outsole durability guarantee.

Customer Reviews
Good but not greatThis is a solid shoes, one of the better barricades. But as a lot of review state it's somewhat dead feeling. The shoe is stable but lacks the explosiveness of the ubersonic or other competitor shoes. Overall happy with the $90 purchase on sale but would not pay full price of $160.
I'm a fan of BarricadeI like the Barricade shoes; I have probably worn 10 pair in the last 10 years. All for pickleball outdoors in Florida heat. Periodically I try something else such as Nike and Kswiss, but I always have come back to these. I particularly like that they hold up well and are stable - my main concerns. They also grip well and handle getting wet from perspiration well. This most recent pair, however, feel softer and less stable under me than prior versions, which is why I rated these only four-stars. I will be buying an 11th pair, I just hope they are more rigid and stable feeling.
