Diego Zamora wow thanks so much for the kind words and encouragement! Got a new video dropping soon and can’t wait for the future of the channel!

Bought 5 pairs of the original Barricade V’s in 2009. I’m now on my last pair. I’ve tried on 10 different tennis shoes the last 2 months, and the only 1 that felt wide and comfortable to me was the Zoom Vapor X wide. Yeah I’m about to buy 5 pairs of those Vapors 😁

My 240sx well good thing you boarded the barricades because those were great shoes RIP. I’m sure the 10.5 or 11s are just around the corner, too. Curious how the knit ones are as well. Thanks for letting me know!

Nice review. These appear to be a must cop situation for clay players!

Definitely, no more skatin' on ice with those slippery hard court soles

I'm gonna give these a go. Thanks for the review and info, my dood. For the String Bar series, ever think about putting same string on 2 or 3 different racquets to compare how the string performs on different frames and maybe different tensions?

I'm on my second pair of these, got the second ones in hardcourt sole, seems to work pretty good on clay too. Thats a great idea, I might need to update my frames cause I'm rocking some old ones!

Just got an all black pair for my dad, hope he loves them.

The Vapor 9, 9.5 and X’s were such great shoes. Nike needs to bring them back in n the older design

KomenTennis thanks means a lot coming from you! Been hitting for about 8 years and just started to get into decent match play and match strategy in the past year so learning that side of the game. Speaking of shoes these have holes in them probably time to upgrade, spent all my money on strings lol

Late comment, but do you by any chance know the length of the black laces (in inches) that comes with these shoes?

got the exact same ones 🤣, i also got the knit ones, but the agassi version, don't think they actually work as tennis shoes these days..

Can the clay versions work on hard courts too?

Kian Teong Tan yes I’ve done it many times but it’s more grippy feeling than a hardcourt shoe. So not the best for sliding on hardcourt but it can be done

Where did you get this shoe because it’s very hard to find a clay specialized shoe

Sadly they don't have this anymore but they usually come out with more clay ones during the clay season. But just search tennis warehouse they definitely have some clay specific shoes

Using the vapor x as well.....using it feels like an asics gel resolution 7. More durable the the older version I guess.

That's a good point I use to love the gel res 7s because I always used Asics running shoes, plus the warranty. Haven't been as hot on the looks of the newer resolutions but then again Asics has never been about that life, all about the performance!

There are hard court versions as well. If it's meant for clay it will specifically state it and you'll see the clay herringbone tread pattern. I also use them on hardcourt, but it wears the tread down a lot quicker

@@EvokeTennis Jip,their offerings are terrible.I loved the limited editions of the barricades aswell,so creative and fun.Was a great product.The last barricade that came out looked a bit cheap with that big plastic piece on the side,i never had that model,but i heard people complained about the plastic gaurd hurting their feet. There are rumors on the internet that they are working on new barricades. Its such a strange marketing decision from them.It seemes like most adidas users at my club are now changing to asics.
