The fifth generation in adidas' fastest shoe delivers on speed and breathability; Speedframe adds stability without adding weight.
Built for speed, the adidas Ubersonic 5 caters to the player who is looking to maximize their foot speed and move freely as they run down every shot. The minimalist mesh upper material is ultra breathable, and is layered on top of the half-bootie inner sleeve that feels glove like and comfortable. Adidas is able to keep the shoe ultra light but maintain its stability with the Speedframe technology; think torsional stability in a lightweight package. The Lightstrike cushioning in the midsole feels reactive and keeps you connected to the court. Adiwear rubber on the outsole is formed into a herringbone pattern for the perfect grip on a variety of court surfaces. Ventilation is enhanced from the mid-foot shank cutout on the bottom.
- Upper: Minimalist Mesh Upper on top of the half-bootie inner sleeve combines for a comfortable glove-like fit and plenty of breathability. Adituff Toe adds durability and protects the toe.
- Midsole: Lightstrike cushioning provides step-in underfoot comfort and a responsive feel to keep you reacting quickly.
- Outsole: Adiwear rubber compound in a modified herringbone tread pattern for traction and durability on a variety of court surfaces.
- Color: White / Black / Silver

Tight and stiffNot a huge fan. The shoes are tight and the soles are stiff. Played with a lot of adidas shoes in the past, but wouldn't buy these agains
Best so farThis is the best shoe I've tried so far, comfortable yet firm without digging into your heels too much
No goodUber sonic 4.1 much better shoe! No comparison
DowngradeThe Ubersonic has been my primary shoe since version 2 - I've easily gone through 20+ pairs of the 4.0 and 4.1 models - they just work well for my feet. While they weren't the most durable shoe, they keep me from injury and soreness, and I moved very well in them. Unfortunately, the 5 is not nearly as quick/nimble feeling, nor is it as comfortable underfoot. The 5 provides a much stiffer feeling, which made movement more challenging and less organic. I've had to switch to the Defiant, which is much more like the Ubersonic 4, but not as good.
Very Solid shoeStable and comfortable at an affordable price
Great shoeOnce you get these broken in, they feel awesome. And they are more durable than the Ubersonic 4s
adidas Ubersonic 5I haven’t worn adidas tennis shoes since Barricade 2. I opted for this because it looks great. I was not disappointed. It is light and comfortable. The only caveat is that maybe half a size would have been even better. The shoes overall appearance for me is the attraction. Overall very satisfied.
Love the shoe but….First time wearing this model after many pairs of Barricades; I really love the fit and weight of the shoe. Toe box is perfect for my foot. One and only concern is wear. I’ve only used it indoors for a month and tread pattern is already disappearing.
ComfortableI hope more comfortable shoes on my feet… It’s a good shoes, beautiful but less comfortable than Barricade….
Light, Stiff, and Light on SupportComing from using the Ubersonic 4.1, I was familiar with what I'd be getting. This was a stylish, light and speedy shoe. Similarly to the previous generation, I noticed some heel slippage and a low to the ground feel. The main thing that keeps me from using this shoe is the stiff upper on the toe area. It's a bit stiff, and has led to bruising on my toenails. This unfortunately is something I've experienced with several Ubersonics over the years, and so if you're looking for a shoe with a plush upper, you may need to look elsewhere. Otherwise, these are great if you're wanting a light, speedy, and low to the ground feeling shoe.
