May I present the Adidas Barricade V Shanghai

Lendl and Federer Fan · Dec 29, 2008

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:

game set match 46 TIMES!! · Dec 29, 2008

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

Lendl and Federer Fan · Dec 29, 2008

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.

can you post a side view?

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

SempreSami · Dec 29, 2008

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. :wink:

Lendl and Federer Fan · Dec 29, 2008

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 · Dec 30, 2008

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.

djoko4thewin · Jan 1, 2009

ahh i really like these but don't know if i should get them?! there are some other nice colour like the half price white/black/silver beijing, and the limited edtiiton black/metallic silver. Also anyone know a uk site to buy the shanghai ones? i can only get them from warehouse, m i d w e s t, and few other american places.

You don't need to pay outrageous price for a RF V like I and other did, RF VI is available to the mass now.

Email is the best option, I think we've goten way off subject.

I'm on the club team at Wake Forest. As soon as we saw those, they became our team shoe. They look really good on court.

Why don't u get the Metallic silver ones i just got ? I think they are honestly one of the best colorways of the barricade.

mrmo1115 · Jan 1, 2009

Lendl , just want to hear from you. What do you think is nicer, the Ballistic or the CC Genius? Lol, hard choice eh? I think the Ballistic edges out the CC Genius though because of what I have been hearing about the Ballistic.

I voiced my opinion on those 2 in "..Ugliest shoes.." and "is this CC Genius...ugly.." threads, there is the summary, I would rather put on this than those two: :lol:

Haha, are you positive you won't be getting any pairs of the Ballistic? I mean, with a okay colorway it can't be that bad. Plus , PED even said if the Barricade V and Cage 2 were to have a baby, the Ballistic would be it. THats is saying some good things right there.

Edit: So overall ,my opinion of the Ballistics have changed from hideous , never going to wear ever -> hmm, with a good colorway i could be getting them down the road.

djoko4thewin · Jan 1, 2009

haha! anyway the metallic silver ones are v nice, true but so are the gold. lendl and others what do you think, i'm trying to decide on a barricade colour.

Lendl and Federer Fan · Jan 1, 2009

I am not sure, maybe the Ballistic is not as bad as it looks in person, but I would definitely not going to bother with the CC Genius since it is definitely not my cup of tea.

Lendl, If you had to choose a Ballistic to get out of the colorways we know that are set to release this year, which one would you take?

I think we both agree that the 1st two colorways missed the mark badly.

And I agree w/ the CC Genius, definitely won't cop it even if they come out w/ a marvelous color scheme.

Please don't get me wrong, not that I don't like colorful or flashy shoes, I do. But the current Ballistic color makeup is just bad, and not harmonious.

So , you don't like any of them ? I mean, if you had to pick one

Those you put up there are all ugly. The yellow/white ones aren't bad.

I too got some looks at the club yesterday. Although, I didn't read as much into them as you did.

My take on this Ballistic so far is not sure or not for me (ugly). If I have to pick one, I would go for the most outrageous color:

If it looks nice on me does not necessarily mean it would be for everyone.

I like these the most also, until my heart broke when I was told that these are 1.2's not 1.3's

gocard · Jan 2, 2009

I think that bull logo on the insides of the shoes with the pink accents is pretty cool! I don't like the overall shape of the shoe though. It looks awfully bulky.
