Love the old Roddick’s in the background! Used to love playing in those when I was a teen!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Hahaha those were the grail shoes back in 11th grade

[@angelmuniz7096]

Great video review again. The first tennis specific shoe a had were the barricades 2. Maybe the best tennis shoe a ever had. But after that they stared to make then narrow. Years ago i had to play in the Jordan 2 for a few month. Those are the best shoe i liked the most to play in.

[@TheHenMen]

For a Barricade, a really disappointing upper durability. Zach, what’s been your top two or top three best/most durable uppers you’ve seen in 2021 tennis shoes? For the toe draggers out there…

[@FootDoctorZach]

Court ff2 by far, Nike cages too, but I don’t love the cage 4 otherwise

[@z1az285]

Thank you for another fantastic video. I still have my Adidas Novak barricades and while they are tanks (I have a fair amount of toe drag) and still going strong they can get uncomfortable in high humidity, I think Adidas finally struck a balance between durability and breathability/comfort. I hope this particular iteration succeeds.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Glad you liked it- yeah I don’t know I’m really interested in the feedback at large once people get a few months in on these

[@christasker5674]

I was barely able to get a pair on the adidas app with a quiet release! Stoked to get on the court and try them out. Can’t wait to hear your opinion on them

[@mb-11949]

Great review as always! Will you also be doing a review/comparison of the Wilson Kaos line? The Swift, Mirage, and Rapide? It’d be super interesting to hear your opinion on those! Thanks!

[@FootDoctorZach]

I talked about them on a livestream when I reviewed the Jet Mach 3 but overall I’m avoiding that line of shoes, I think the lack of upper stability and outsole tread is dangerous so I won’t be reviewing them as it would just be me bashing them and I don’t want to make videos like that

[@mb-11949]

@@FootDoctorZach I understand, thank you!

[@BenOstler]

I’ve been waiting for this video! I knew the barricades would sell out on day one, so I bought multiples (all three sizes that I might end up being). They’re arriving soon! And I’m feeling good about my purchase. Thanks for the video! Also, I wanted to ask… is Adidas discontinuing the sole court boost? And, do you think they’ll add a bounce option for the sole court shoe?

[@FootDoctorZach]

So I asked the designer and I was told it’s under embargo so I don’t think any of us are going to find that one out but I would think it may be a while before we get new ones or even a bounce solecourt option- I did make a pair of those custom though if you want to check that video out

[@Demand68]

I just teared up to see you take a knife to them 😭. I got tired of waiting for these so decided to get a discounted pair of Diadora’s (black/white, they look so sweet!) to replace my Ubersonics.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Honestly they’re just as good

[@devonlynn4256]

As always, thank you for a thorough review! Definitely compelling since I am looking for a new pair of Adidas, but I am trying my best to hold out for new editions of their SMB / SCB (IF they plan on releasing new versions that is..). Any chance you have an inside scoop on possibly when we can expect new releases of either SMB / SCB? I absolutely love my SMB's and would love to replace with a new pair of them if possible (I know the white Tokyo edition exists, just don't care much for it).

[@FootDoctorZach]

Glad you liked it- I don’t have a definite but I think the SoleCourt boost is probably gone for a while, the SMB though is still being made in several colorways so I’d stockpile if you’re looking to continue with them

[@tombradyandme]

Hey Zach - I had to go down 1/2 size on the Solecourt. Should I on the Barricade too?

[@CYgiorgos]

Hey Dr, great video! What would you recommend for someone with patellar tendonitis?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Depends on how your legs are positioned but my favorites are GP turbo and solecourt boost

[@smacko4192]

Love your videos man! Keep up the great work and im keen to get apair of these, ive been looking for some shoes to swap to after nike stopped making the vapor x. I actually used to wear the barricades before I swapped to the vapors 😂

[@FootDoctorZach]

Haha just ping pong back then

[@markmoore5981]

Another great option for a Barricade fan might be the Diadora Blushield 5 - lots of love for that shoe and it is nearly as stable at the Barricade 2018 and a LOT more comfortable.

[@cuba1956]

Thank you for the excellent review as usual! Very useful! Is this the shoe for someone heavy (120 kg) with very flat feet?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Glad you liked it- depends on wide your foot is- they have a great arch support but aren’t the widest shoes out there

[@manuelbaret]

Looking forward to the performance review. Are they entering into the top 5?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Good question, I think, I just don’t know where and what they would bump out

[@jamesssss8727]

So cool! Great vid! Where can i find them??????

[@FootDoctorZach]

Thanks! Adidas website

[@saugus2]

I had an opportunity to try them on at Tennis Plaza in Tampa, and as a huge fan of Barricade 7 (top 3 tennis shoe ever!) and having owned all the versions of Barricades since the 7s, I found this new one a lot wider in the toe area fore foot. I have a medium width foot but I like more narrow fit so when I stop had I don’t slide my toes into the wall and jamming them, after wearing these new ones in the store, I did not feel that security in the tow box and felt that if I stop had to change directions, this shoe gonna destroy my toes! I love the fit of the current ASICS FF and Resolution line, Nike Cage, Lotto 100s, and most performance shoes, but new Barricades are just too wide. Any thoughts?

[@FootDoctorZach]

For me they were medium actually, you may just not have liked the shape of the toe box more than the size, in which case I’d just avoid because you can’t change shape by going up or down sizes they may just not mesh with your foot

[@applesforakbar]

Love the look of these but I hated the 2017 barricades - are these a completely different shoe? Comparable to other brand models?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah these are really their own shoe except the ankle collar with the same break in issues as prior but otherwise these stand on their own

[@dg2973]

Cant wait for the clay version to come out

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yup, but the all court treads are still pretty good for clay

[@jasonhendler8798]

Hey Zach. I had a chronic turf toe injury to my right foot (big toe) and need good support. Natural pronator, so require good support under the inside of the foot. Which tennis shoe do you recommend?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Most tennis shoes are designed to help with this as much as possible so there isn’t one stand out shoe in my opinion - most of the time I’m treating turf toe im leaning on carbon fiber plates and orthotics

[@evanc1974]

Great review. How did you find the fore foot? They look a drop narrow but wanted your take. Tx

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yup make sure you check out the fit section- medium width if you’re wide if go up 1/2 size

[@davelee6002]

Finally tried these on, and found a pretty comfortable fit. However the heel slipped a little bit, but perhaps thanks to the Achilles pillows, not egregiously. Will still need to see how the traction and lateral stability performss, as well as comfort through extended high intensity wear.

[@FootDoctorZach]

I think performance will be fine- forefoot durability is going to be questionable

[@davelee6002]

@@FootDoctorZach I'm not worried about the upper. I drag my toes during some shots, but I don't slide or really lay the upper into the ground in any of my movements. The wrapped outsole and toe cap on the upper should be more than sufficient for me. As long as the outsole has long life to it, I'm hoping this shoe will go the distance.

[@StMyka]

Nice reviews. I've been looking these for basketball but I'm concerned about the weight, breathability,and cushion. What's your opinion these for basketball indoor/outdoor?

[@FootDoctorZach]

I think they’d be great, they breathe better then they look and they aren’t as heavy as other tennis shoes that can cross over into the hoop space, plus bounce foam is one of my favorites kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4HCd5iEeL6sppo

[@StMyka]

@@FootDoctorZach thank you so much for the reply!

[@johnhawk4162]

Used to wear B7’s and B2018s. Now transitioned to the Gel Res 8 (which are the best shoes I’ve ever worn I might add). Is it worth it to go back to this?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Not if you like the GR8 and are playing well in them

[@jorgeandrescoppiano]

Nice video Zack. Seems a little too much tilt on the heel of the shoe. I remember the 2016 version to feel lovely. And also some other Adidas shoes had an a amazing fit on the heel.... straight, 90 deg, and beautifully padded heel of the Adidas Predator Absolute 2006..yeah another sport, but such an amazing fit to be taken to all other shoes. The stability on these 2021 version looks great. And love the bounce foam element

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah for me it’s that heel counter that just makes the comfort take a bit- everything else I like

[@danielyoussef2612]

Another great vid, Doc. As much as I have tried Adidas shoes I just can't get a good fit. I have a more general question....I have the GP Turbos and have really been trying to make them work because the cushioning is great. Problem is I do have hammer toe and the toe box just kills me after a long session (even going up a half size). The Sole Court Boost has a bit too much room in the toe box. What shoe options would you recommend as a good middle ground?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Diadora blushileld 5 is probably the most middle of the road shoe out there

[@danielyoussef2612]

@@FootDoctorZach Thanks! was also considering Gel Res 8 or Court FF2?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yup both good- I’d check out my top 5 video to help make an opinion

[@pedronave]

Zach, would you recommend these for someone who suffers from Achilles tendinitis? Thank you so much in advance.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Probably not with all the pressure the heel counter puts on the Achilles

[@aaron1983]

I saw in the cross section that your toes doesn't touch the end. There a good probably 0.8 inch or so there? Is that how you're supposed to have shoes? I like shoes that's just fit snug end to end. What do you think?

[@guitaR..]

Unfortunately these didn't cut it for me. I've been a barricade user from the beginning and these are definitely not as sturdy as the "old" barricade models. Didn't enjoy the lacing system as it felt weird on my foot like uneven pressure was being placed on it and they feel flimsy on the top as well. They also feel really low to the ground so my feet felt it the next day as well. I tried the Djokovic shoe and really was surprised how good it felt on my feet. I figured Novak must have a pretty good shoe since he was a long time barricade user. Thanks for your videos!

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah to me the court ff2 is the next gen barricade with better tech - I think these barricades will split people down the middle- you’ll have your lovers and haters

[@kojak824]

Hey zach does the barricades can be a good basketball shoe?

[@FootDoctorZach]

I spose- wouldn’t be my first choice for hoops

[@67pierone]

Hi Doc, how do you see these shoes for Achilles and and heel issue ? Can they be compared to the excellent Solecourt shoes ? I have noticed that boost technology is missing . I found solecourt shoes to be the best in terms of heel cushioning. No more heel pain since. Thanx as always.

[@FootDoctorZach]

I don’t like these for Achilles pain but In my opinion I think they’re fine for bottom of heel pain- time will tell though

[@Alex-jo1sd]

hey thanks for your video, i am very concerned about the durability as i am a tall dragger (destroyed my previous barricade shoes in a month only) do you have any models in mind to recommend that would be as durable as the barricade 2017 was (with the adituff patch) ? I'd lie not to change my shoes every month or use tape to protect my foot while sliding... Thanks !

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah these aren’t the best for a toe dragger - court ff2 is probably the best right now

[@michaelp9061]

They finally get the barricade out. I will get them. The last good was a while ago.

I found these shoes a little snug. I would definitely consider going up a half a six ESPECIALLY to accommodate a custom orthotic

[@FootDoctorZach]

Yeah for sure- especially along that inside

[@prestonsmith7820]

Hey Zach. So I just got a pair of these in 8.5. My heel slips upwards a bit as a walk/run. Is this normal? Does that go away if i break them out just casual walking? I’m afraid if I take them out to play I couldn’t get my money back or return. Should I go down half a size?

[@FootDoctorZach]

You may just not be compatible with the fit so if it’s me I’m going with another shoe because these don’t tend to slip in general

[@prestonsmith7820]

I’ve tried on 3 sizes from 7.5 to 8.5. Looks like your right. Any recommendations of other court shoes with a little more traditional fit of the barricades? I saw some ASICS that looked okay.

[@SW-ij5cv]

How does the Barricade compare to Asics Gel Res 8s? Do you think it would be difficult to use OTC orthotics in either shoe? I couldn’t fit orthotics in the last pair of Barricades unless I went up 1/2 or 1 size up.

[@FootDoctorZach]

Neither are great for housing orthotics IMO

[@villiam7941]

Nice review Doc! Is there any reason why they use elastic eyelets? I mean, it is obvious to avoid elastic things when something designed to hold something. Nobody tries to implement elastic seatbelts… why here

[@FootDoctorZach]

Good question and great analogy- I have no clue it actually is the one thing that also makes the shoe more narrow, without them they’d probably fit a 2E just fine but you really have to pull the laces to tie down and that puts a lot more pressure on a wide foot- big design misstep in my opinion

[@markmoore5981]

@@FootDoctorZach Is there any BENEFIT to there elastic eyelets you can see? More forgiving as your feet swell during play perhaps?

[@6starz]

Are the holes on the tongue just for airflow? Or did you put the laces through the tongue? Hard for me to see in the video

what do you think of the stanniversary barricades?

[@FootDoctorZach]

not much more than the regular tbh

[@ypk5]

@Foot Doctor Zach i gotchu. Adidas had em for 70% off, at $50, so copped a pair. I have pretty wide feet so hopefully sizing up 1 full size is enough. Often times, that lateral dorsal cutaneous nerve causes my foot to sorta fall asleep when I have a snug shoe around the sides.

[@darricks2775]

Re: @4:15 in my 2018 Barricade Boosts I rolled my ankle so severely it make an painful and audible *pop* out of its socket for the first time ever.😖 Happened last month, and am still coming back from it 😅 Those models had a decent flange, but I feel like when braking hard to hit a wide shot that flange made the ankle roll all the more extreme when it happened. :S Flat feet, so oversupinating to the pint of teetering right over that outside flange shouldn’t have been an issue since us duckfooted humans tend to pronate if anything. But would there be a shoe that would prevent rolling via the sole vs a high top/ankle bracing up? 🥴

[@FootDoctorZach]

No shoe will completely prevent- the most stable I know of are the SoleCourt boost and court jam bounce but I’d just make sure you’re taking your doc/ physios guidance on how hard to go during recovery

[@MihirGVaze]

So is this better or the ubersonics from adidas?

[@FootDoctorZach]

Just different - heavier, but more stable, depends what you want

Playing 2-4 times a week with harsh movement I break through the interior side of the shoe near and around where the ball of my foot is would this be a good durability shoe?

[@zakproudman6788]

@@FootDoctorZach no worries I use the ubersonic 2's as where the rubber reinforcement is on the inside of the shoe is where I put the most wear and tear. Just wondered if the barricade had similar reinforcement placement?
