May I present the Adidas Barricade V Shanghai

Lendl and Federer Fan · 12-29-2008, 12:30 PM

The shoes are better looking in person than the picture, they look almost too nice to wear; gold and shiny. It is destined to be a collector item, I'll have to get a few more pairs of this. The two Chinese words are just cool, way better the RF and RN, Federer and Nadal have on their shoes:

more??? i think your set for life in your vapors...

Lendl and Federer Fan · 12-29-2008, 12:42 PM

The answer is emphatically no, I haven't even started stocking up on the Vapor V yet.

And I wasn't planning to buy any VI after I saw the girly blue one, but Balbolat's black/blood red Vapor VI picture convinced me to pick up a few.

i was gonna get those but i already got 2 pairs of barricades in my size for $80 so im probs gonna wait till the ballistecs come out or the new asics gel res's colors

I don't get it LAFF, you've said before that the Vapor IVs are better, so why stock up on Vs and (actually superior) Barricades?

First of all, I am not going to stock up on Barricades like I do on Vapors; second, who says I can not try a good beer once a while even though I like wine more.

Lendl and Federer Fan · 12-29-2008, 06:46 PM

And I have at least 3 pairs of Barricade IV and 4 pairs of the Barricade V, still my Vapor/Barricade ratio is like at least 3 to 1.

Do you by any chance have the limited edition black barricade V's and the dark navy colourway? If you do, could you please post a pic of those 2 colours next to each other. I'm having trouble deciding between those 2 and an actual image of it would help immensely. Thanks.

I thought Barricades would be like a couple of shots if Vapors are wine

Very shiny and nice. great combo with the k blade tour and black/gold six bag!

I don't have the black LE, but I have the dark navy. The dark navy Barricade looks more navy than black. The TW's picture is little misleading and confusing.

You are right. IMO they look better in person. I am deciding on which Barricades to throw out, to make room for the Metallic Silver ones I am getting.

The Lime Green ones (beat) or the Navy/Yellow ones (just a little better condition-semi - beat)

Okay, we know SS is a drinker. Here is my take on the wine stuff, when I am with the ladies, I go for the martini, but when I am with the dudes, my favorite is the vodka.

Lendl and Federer Fan · 12-30-2008, 06:23 PM

I took my gold Barricade out for a test drive today, you know what, the cute girls/young ladies played next court to ours kept eyeing my shoes. I pretended I didn't see them, but they approached me during a break and asked about the shoes. One thing led to another, hehe....., now I have 2 more female hitting partners. Hey, who knows, one of them might be my wife one day.

Yeah, you have to check it out in person first if you are undecided.
