My Day At Adidas HQ (& Testing Their Tennis Gear)

My Day At Adidas HQ (& Testing Their Tennis Gear) #tennis
This week I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to see inside Adidas HQ in Germany. I was shown the whole campus including where the pro athletes do their testing as well as having the chance to hold some of the most iconic adidas tennis shoes in history.
We then went to TennisBase to test out the new Cybersonic and the new Paris clothing range!
SHOP the shoes: tennis-point.c...

A big thanks to adidas and Tennis Point for making this happen!
It was also great to meet Thomas, Ana and Renee. Here are their instagram handles:

What a fantastic experience. As a creative i would love that Maker lab area. Thanks for showing it. I love behind the scenes stuff.

[@TheTennisMentor]

The Maker Lab was really cool… they also run workshops in there for the staff!! Thanks for watching 😎

[@DanTuber]

@@TheTennisMentor Makes me even more envious

[@richardh1781]

I will have to give these tennis shoes a go. Presently using Asics shoes but they went narrow a few years ago and no matter what variety I try they are just uncomfortable! Thanks

[@lynxes1]

Excellent content! It was too short! Ha! We need more as it is really informative!

[@JayRuf3438]

I love that red adidas shirt. I'm generally a Nike guy, but I had to buy that shirt. That red clay came looks great. I like the look of the barricades but I find them too be too narrow.

[@TheTennisMentor]

It’s a great looking range!! Felix Auger Alliasime is wearing it! Have you tried putting on a pair of the new barricades?

[@Rigo_S]

Very nice video! I winced a bit at the white socks on red clay but overall the new Paris kit looks very nice!

[@TheTennisMentor]

Haha! Lucky I’m not too athletic at the moment 🤣

[@oliveracoon_]

great production ashley !

[@TheTennisMentor]

Thanks a lot Oliver 😄

[@brunoiuva]

This is great! Thanks for sharing these. I always wanted to know where the Adidas CourtJam Control 3 sits on the Adidas shoes line-up.

[@federicotown8052]

Such a nice experience

[@remedypath5941]

once again amazing video - keep it up!!!

[@TheTennisMentor]

🙏🙏

[@clayboy7703]

Nice video. It took Adidas years to being back the flagship Barricade shoe. Was my favourite shoe and wonder why they discontinued it for a few years. Too bad as Asics is now my go to shoe for tennis and golf.

[@amblerr20]

Great video as always

[@TheTennisMentor]

Thanks Liam 🤜

[@federicotown8052]

Wow ! Very nice

[@brianmoney410]

I loved the old Barricade's. IMHO best tennis shoes ever.

[@TheTennisMentor]

Which version?

[@brianmoney410]

​@@TheTennisMentor I was familiar with the last few just prior to when they stopped making them in 2019 (I believe).

[@wongjefx980]

Are they bringing back the Addidas racket?

[@TheTennisMentor]

I doubt it… but never say never!

[@Official.tadiwa]

The worst rackets ever made lmfao

[@yiorgos7919]

Nice one!

[@TheTennisMentor]

Thanks buddy

[@svlagonda7417]

I always thought its a bit strange that they don't make tennis racquets. They don't need to make/sell millions of them, but its surprisingly there's not like a premium racquet line to represent the brand IMO.

[@elchanclascocina]

They did make them for a little while but that didn't last much, seems they weren't good to play with; they looked good though! there's a saying in Mexico which would translate to something like: the shoemaker should focus on his shoes and I guess most shoemakers (and clothe makers) do in 🎾.

[@RobBlanzy]

You look sharp in that color my man.

[@TheTennisMentor]

Thanks buddy!!

[@nikolaykolesnik7228]

hey, while you are still there, please ask why the hell did they removed Adidas Solecourt Boost from their lineuop. It was the best tennis shoe ever created as for me

[@queengg1543]

i think you had the barricade but it seems you’ve switched to the cybersonic? i loved the nike vapor x but now i have a bunch of pairs of the ubersonic 4. do u have any comparisons like differences with the uber vs cybersonic? i also have a semi wide forefoot but a very narrow heel.

[@bradenburzynski]

Awesome! What do you think of tecnifibre rackets?

[@TheTennisMentor]

I really enjoyed the TFight 305 and TF-X1… I may be reviewing them soon!

[@bradenburzynski]

@@TheTennisMentor please do!

[@nathancoleman8792]

Does anyone know why adidas no longer make the sole court boost any more?

[@muriloborges9481]

Nice video…unfortunately Adidas not produces barricade line like the old ones…their designes today are much worse than in the past barricades, like you showed Safin’ barricade wich were stunning..Now I prefer Asics shoes and lacoste shirts, because Adidas lost its great designs.regards

[@jorgeandrescoppiano]

On point. The shoe lasts and shapes were better before inmho

[@muriloborges9481]

@@jorgeandrescoppiano yes…Adidas lost ita way in tennis outfit

[@Griz-triz]

Loved the video and the event ! But it was disappointing to see no diversity at all in regards to the influencers they invite.

[@987mikka]

I am very disappointed for Adidas Ubersonic 4 😢

[@NewTennisGeneration]

Hi, are you still in Germany? Would be nice if you could come back someday to Nuremberg and offer a weekend workshop or a tennis camp or a little weekend championship for customers in cooperation with adidas and tennispoint and other content creators . Maybe at the big tennis center noris in nuermberg (they have 18 puplic in and outdoor courts with 3 different surfaces) very near from the adidas base. Would be cool to test the new stuff and have also lessons meeting great content creators like you and designers and customers from all over Europe or the world. I live in Nuremberg and would be for sure your first client :) About Adidas : I love Adidas and Puma and wearing it almost over 40 years now. I am wearing it on the street , playing tennis , playing soccer having sex.. whatever. the brand is not just a brand it is like a long time friend and shared with me and the world a lot of emotions, sweat, goals, victories , joy and tragedy.. over decades and .. i never throw away something with the stripes on it (except very old socks , or underpants.. ) but nowadays: I think adidas could be much more innovative at the tennis sector, i think they have nice products but i can not see them on the tour...or on tennis courts , i miss the coolness factor, except in your videos... adidas tennis collections are in my opinion a little bit to commercial and sometimes to boaring. the quality and cuts a very good but the colors and designs are could be more fresh and futuristic. you have to take time to find the right color or designs to create your own kind of style. the women look like moving isodrinkbootles in the last collection. where are the sexy and feminine sharp outfits and cuts like in the 70 s ?... adidas should maybe do different lines : 1. a sexy original line , 2. a high fashion avant-garde understatement line 3. a roger federer meets fred perry hi class conservative line with very reduced classic and understated designs and colors. a few weeks ago i have been shopping in the big flagship store at the Herzobase in Herzogenaurach near the Campus and i wanted to buy tennis shoes but they did not have 1 pair in the hole flagship store. in normal sport and tennis stores in the area Nuremberg the only have the same basic stuff. In my case i ordered the adidas Sole Match Control Performance Shoes via tennis point, where is the only place you can find things in many different styles. the german market needs to wake up like in the mid 80s . i hope Boris will stand up like a Phoenix to start the new wave of tennis in germany as a fallen angel - not in Puma, but in a adidas outfit... and if not Boris then please our tennis mentor Ashley! .... not only germany is waiting for your content and your presence :) thanx for your videos and future content...

Do they have the kids for child labor there as well?
