Ive been only buying barricades off tw and sending them right back to them.

TW doesn't handle adidas returns anymore. They tell you to ship them straight to adidas.

didnt tw have a thing where if you wear out a 6 month warranty you can send them to tw and they can replace it for whatever shoe as long as its within the range of your purchase price?

TW used to handle all warranties but stopped doing it for a number of companies. Adidas is one of them.

I called TW first, but they told me to send them straight to adidas.

That is pretty messed up to abuse the system for all of us.

Are these ready? I've got one month left until warranty is up.

no. the midsole (form) does not expose yet. you will be able to use white rubber part for a while.

Did they stop doing it for asics?

I would go until you reach the "cloth" part of the shoe which is under that white layer.

My 7 week old Nike 2K12's.
The bottom has worn through at the left toe and a hole has nearly formed on the top of the left toe also.

Reach the green foam part. That doesn't look enough.

It's enough to send it for the warranty because exposure of midsole (form).
I have a question for you. Can you take a picture of back of air max area?
Because My 4.3's have cracking problems with back of air max.
Your wear pattern is very similar to mine so I am wondering 3.3 might be better design than 4.3. Actually I did not have any problems until 4.3

looks like your air max is fine.

I don't know why my 4.3 air max is cracked. I liked comfort of 4.3 but air maxes are cracking
I thought this might be a single problem but I am developing same cracking issue with another.

As Kim says, that is most definitely enough as the white shown is the foam beneath the xdr rubber outsole.

Here are my sz 12 Wimbledon-colorway Adidas B7s-- they lasted about a little under 5 months playing about 2-3 hrs per week. Fair amount of tread left on forefoot but all gone at the very front. That's an improvement on my CourtBallistecs which I wear out in less than 3 months at the toe and outer heel under the same conditions. I've had 100% of Nike claims accepted and I'm sure these will be too as the hole goes right through.
(apologies for poor quality picture)

Heavy on your heels? Will they refund you for that? seems like the shoe is useless if the airmax is deflated/cracked.

Yes it's my wear pattern. I wear out heel and toe area first and rest of soles is good.

some what reason 4.3 wear out heel areas faster than other CB series.
anyway the shoes already exposed mid sole so I am fine with it.
I hoped this problem might be the only case but I have same problem with my other 4.3. it has a small crack the crack was developed about 6 week period (1/3 of rubber is still there). I usually use 4.3 between 8-12 weeks so as soon as I see the form, I will replace the shoes. 4.3 was very nice shoes in terms of comfort but Airmax won't support me T_T
Hopefully New cage will not have cracking issue......
I still have 2.3, 3.3 and barricade 5 and 6 so I can use it until new 5.3.

the cracking issue started to appear when rubber parts worn out about 2/3 and seems like as soon as rubber is gone, airmax is completely useless. I don't think I will claim the shoes as defective items because it happens near the end of life.
