Great review Zach. Unfortunately, the Barricades and most of the top 5 shoes seem to be out of stock everywhere, especially in the popular sizes.

Love the Ultrashot 3's and GP Turbo's

Thanks Doc for another awesome review

I would buy the Solecourt Boost in any colorway even if it looked like someone threw up on my feet. Tried the GP turbos but the tread was finished after a month and around that time they started squeaking badly. Now I am going to give the barricades a try.

Interesting, adidas Europe came out with new barricade parley made of fabric! It might be interesting if you could have a look and maybe test the new model too. I personally used Tokyo (white) color and it felt great. Then I bought black for the clay season and it was awful. My friend had the same experience. The same shoes felt sooo differently. Now my friend got another clay color (mint) as his black barricade felt apart and he says it feels so much nicer then black one. It seems that barricade feels differently depending on a color a lot more then other shoes

Love your reviews! Just wanted to check in to see if you have an upcoming review of the Diadora Torneos. Your love of the Blueshield 5s inspired me to pick up a pair, and they've been just as good as advertised. Thanks for all the thoughtful content!

I just saw those actually- im dubious of anything that says it is designed for male/female when it comes to shoes besides sizing and width but ill review them as soon as they come in stock at Tennis Point- thats who sends me my shoes

Just found your channel randomly through Instagram...i guess algorithm directed me to shoes...i am seeking an outdoor basketball shoe that has good spring and support when I jump...the current adidas shoe i have feels very stiff and flat...it hurts my shin when I land. I am not a Nike fan so really want to avoid them. Also budget is important. I don't believe the more expensive a shoe the better. Anyway you got a new follower. Really like the way you edited your videos and the indepth information. So thank you ✌🏻

I’ve been wearing 2 pairs of socks with the barricade because it feels better however I’ve been getting toe jamming would u recommend I go half a size up if I wear 2 pairs of socks? Thanks

Funny you mention the difference between the Barricades and the color options/old compared to new. I have three pair, Blue, White, and Purple. My blue ones, which I’ve had the longest, feel the best out of the three. The blue ones grip the ground better, more squeak, mold to my foot better, and overall more comfy. I thought I was crazy noticing a difference but apparently not lol My white ones and purple ones don’t feel as molded to my foot and definitely don’t squeak and grip the ground like my blue ones. Wondering if certain colors affect the fit? Still really like the Barricades, not as much as I liked the SCB by Adidas, but a solid/balanced shoe. Does everything decent. Nothing bad. Sticking with them for a while until something new catches my eye! On a side note, the color options for the Barricade are really sweet, ordered the pinkish/red ones on back order. I can see this shoe in lots of colors (red, green, black, etc.) looking amazing down the road. Best looking shoes I’ve seen in a long time by design and color options.

I don't believe in color hype. It's BS IMO. Especially in a shoe. I'd rather question quality control in such situations. It is an Adidas but let's not forget the big brands, including Apple, are never exempt of potential quality control issues and some blunders do exist

Your call doc. I’m going to commit right now and break in a new pair before sectionals in a month. Barricades or b icon? For reference my fave shoe fit ever was the lav 1s with a superfeet green insole. 4.0 player with lots of doubles net play. Recently in the lotto raptors thanks to your review. They’re cool love the tread on them. Never slid into shots before but now it’s kind of cool. Most important thing for me is the locked in heel and lateral support. Close second is speed on court with change of direction. Lol thanks in advance doc. Sorry for the long read but you’re the best!

After a year of waiting, looking, etc, finally bought the Barricades. The ones mostly white with black letters and a little orange. Most have been the 1st iteration you mention because I got the worst blisters in the Achilles. Have always used low rise socks (tins), didn't cover that part and now I almost literally can't walk with them, I can't use them, can't sell them as there are blood stains there 🤯.

Barricade is clunky and uncomfy. Best is GP Turbo. Superb cushioning. Comfortable without plastic front supports. Wide base so stable with rocking profile. Fit is tight tho so must try. Weight is defo a non issue. So much better even than Zoom X and Zoom Pro.

Did Adidas swap out the elastic lace eyelets on the Barricade yet? I never could get a good lockdown in this model with those darn elastic eyelets!

Can you visually tell the difference between the 2021 vs 2022 barricade

I have the 2021 version (blue ones) I think Adidas may have quality control issues or faulty equipment somethings wrong. I sent 1st pair back after trying them on, the right shoe felt noticeably canted towards the outside of my foot (was not level) I had my wife try them on asked her if she noticed anything odd she said right shoe feels very slanted. Replacement pair still felt odd left shoe feels slightly canted. I thought maybe outsole just needs to break so took a chance on them, but after playing in them for an hour my left shoe definitely has a slight cant to the outside and my foot sat lower on the lateral side of the shoe causing it to cut into my ankle and also I experienced bad heel pain more so on lateral side of my heel) after playing. my right shoe & foot felt great no problems. I like their performance they do feel quick & stable but something is not right with their production process.Long time barricade user and have been wearing adidas barricade boost until these with no foot problems. I can't play in these or I risk injury as foot is not sitting level placing pressure to outside of my foot.

I’d like to just cause I don’t think there’s any difference to just a regular unisex shoe

Which one is widest in the forefoot?

I bought a pair of Barricades one month ago and now I’m sat at home with my sprained knee strapped. I would say avoid the Barricades at all cost! The sole has so much grip (on hard surface) that it literally ripped the knee out of my leg! Going for the ball at the net, my foot stayed locked to the ground whilst my body kept rotating. There’s no slip or give in Barricades. Zero! So my knee gave and slipped instead. Ouch!! Had anyone else felt that there’s just too much grip in the Barricade? I’m scared to put that shoe back on when I recover. What shoe would you recommend, Doc?

Stiff is good for the feet and ankles.

A lousy shoe. It hurts my feet. Never come back. Asics number 1

Barricade is a disaster, worn thru on front sole in middle, just after 2 months of play. Actually a hole right thru. No support in front foot area,very hard., laceing system horrible,doesnt grab foot. No pguard like the asics shoes, hole in upper where pguard is suppose to be already.. I came from the 2016 model and was expecting the same durability and support. What a waste of money.
