Seems like the defiant speed 2 is made for you then...same midsole and outsole but a different upper and only $120. Just got a great review from TW

There's no place less equipped to talk about Osaka's sportswear fashion line than this forum of old white men who can't dress Also any idiot that thinks people turned off by "woke" politics were buying Naomi Osaka's product anyway, lol. There is zero overlap between her consumer and that group...

Boost is legit just a bad cushioning for tennis, it just has name recognition. It's heavy, it's not very stable, and it's not very durable. That's why it's not in tennis shoes anymore. It's much more suited to a linear sport like running or even just walking around, because it provides a lot...

The midsole etc is the same. The only reason I think they fit differently at all is because there's a lot more padding on the achilles area. Generally just more plush

They're the same length, the new ones have more padding on the heel so they feel tighter. In my experience they just loosened up fine the first time I played in them but for some they might need to half size up.

People think they're worse? I think they are way, way better. The old Barricade was super stiff, you'd put a hole right through the branding on the inside, and were pretty uncomfortable on the achilles for me(at least pre break-in). These are more breathable and comfortable right out of the...

You rest your case(of having terrible taste in clothes)

Excuse me lol. There is no shortage of awful nike kits

It's right there with the rest of the collection? https://www.tennis-warehouse.com/adidas_Mens_Fall_Slam_Reversible_Crew_Pro/descpageMAADIDAS-AMFSFRC.html

Did you even read the post before you replied to it lol

Where do you guys tie off? Wilson wants both mains and crosses tied off at 6H....No idea how they plan to have the string go through one hole three different times lol. I can't even get the tie off of the mains through that hole

I really wish Hyper G was more that yellow of like Polytour

Ubersonic 2. Tore my pharrell pair to pieces :( Also the Nike air max breathe free IIs.

Thank you! Finally got some

...why? They updated a shoe with improvements for no extra cost lol. This is nothing but a good thing. People on here always whine about companies changing too much about shoe models, then something like this comes along and people complain. Like hell, the barricade just got more durable...

Safe to say if it's just an update the actual tooling isn't changed. I always went through the upper, which is definitely more protected but I don't think the outsole is any different.

Have a pair in hand. From what I can tell the differences are: Lace system changed, no longer impossible to re-lace Thicker tongue, there's padding between the laces and the foot now Abrasion zone around the toe and medial side is beefed up More padding around the heel Just dialed up a few...

I am! Will message you

I only bought one Blade Pro v8 when I had the chance and am now regretting it. The 16x19 in 4 3/8ths has been sold out for MONTHS now and I'm worried it's not coming back

They're real! Have seen them, they are out in a month. There's a reverse black/white colorway as welll. Also the collar around the heel is wayyyy more padded now. Not just the hard back with the little pods.

You're about 1.5 months away from a black and white pair of barricades :)

Nothing really new here. There's really really good backhands in both styles. Off-arm dominant(Djokovic, Zverev) and hitting-arm dominant(Agassi, guys like Korda or Fritz)

Lol look at him in the adidas threads. Same **** as here. Dude has an agenda. He always makes all encompassing statements like he's the authority and posts it multiple times in all threads as well as TW reviews. Here he says the FF3 "crushed" his foot and also said he expected the Cybersonic...

Watched the review, pretty aligned with how I feel about them. They just feel so fast and completely one with my foot. I'm pretty light on my feet, don't really feel like a lot of cushioning is my highest need, so these are perfect for me. Durability is still teh question but that video seems...

Same. I'm absolutely loving them. Durability is the concern for me.

There's not a tennis shoe out there that will prevent ankle turns like that. There's not even a high basketball shoe that will. Notice NBA players that have to deal with landing on people's foots still wear mostly low shoes now. If you want something that will prevent what happened to Zverev...

I saw 3 or 4 players wearing them...kalinskaya, and one of the chinese players off the top of my head. One of them was wearing the black pair. Zverev just turned his ankle the wrong way around I would hold off judgement whether he's switching shoes or not lmao. You should also have noticed...

Aligned with you. Favorite shoe I've worn since the Vapor 9 or Ubersonic 2. Whether I wear them or not will be based on durability. Performance wise they're incredible for me.

Lmao thank you for the much needed reminder about the audience on this forum

I'm sorry but that's absurd lol. That's exactly what they do, no one competes with them on that front. Sharapova's night US Open dress, adidas pharrell at the US Open, Nadal's capri's/cutoffs, Serena has like a billion different ones, Agassi's hot lava outfits/jean shorts. I could go on and...
