Yup the ballistic treads but with the pod design of the cage 3- it’s super tricky to match up

​@@FootDoctorZach He also has a custom tongue from an older model. Also pretty sure the uppers is only the cage 3 pattern/design and not as rigid/firm as the retail cage 3 from detailed pictures..

Great video. Is there a way to bake shoes so the mold to your foot like you do with hickey skates. I have a bunch of Adidas Barricades 2017. Love them but sometimes hurt the 5th meditarsal after teaching I. Them for long hours.

[@FootDoctorZach]

The lasts are foam and plastic so they would just cup around your foot and not really mold per se - some people use shoe stretchers to contour and it works well for them

[@markmoore4255]

I Forwarded a link to this video to Adidas customer support and asked where I could buy the shoes given that a number of pros on tour or actually wearing this shoe. Their response was predictably corporate. “Thank you for taking the time to contacting Adidas customer care. I am afraid as of the moment, we don't offer that item on our website.

Great work Zach! Love your enthusiasm!!! I've been using the Boost for years and loving them (coming from Barricades). Can't believe the Boost is being phased out.

What glue was used since you said super glue would crack? Also how hot was the oven to soften the glue to seperate the shoe? If diy'ers want to embark on a similar project.

Always hate boost for tennis, it gave me a calf injury on the Barricdes '15, pulled it twice! And I did spot them athletes years ago doing this. I also keep an eye on what they are wearing. And its getting more and more common. sadly. Guess shoes for the people like racquets now. For them and for you separating.
