Got these early. Surprised that a 12US is 46 2/3EU for adidas but for Lotto 12US IS 45.5EU. Madness

@TW Staff Is the white black red colorway ever coming out in USA?

It is already out in Europe and mostly sold out. I see TW listings for the upcoming white orange blue and neon pink color in USA.

The white/black/red is the traditional Barricade color so really was waiting for that one and I'm sure it may be considered by fans of the old barricades...

It looks like we are expecting this colorway end of this month/beginning of April.

Thanks,

Hi Brittany @TW Staff ,

Thanks for replying. Curious, why doesn't it have a pre order style page like the upcoming other colors which you can buy but the shipping date is well in advance?

Dr. Zack thinks that the newer colourways are built slightly differently than the first iterations of the lastest Barricade model.

So what is the consensus (if there is one) on these? Other than the eyelet thing, it still isn't as good as the old 'Cades?

Asking because these were the first 'Cades I ever tried and it is pretty solid (again, besides the eyelets thing). With the dissatisfaction I am seeing here, makes me wonder what the old ones were like?

old ones were like a brick, comparable to asics court ff2 but with a higher profile and bigger heel, ideal for players who defend and stay on their heels a lot

new ones are much better for me personally, lower and crucially much lighter and faster, while allowing me to throw myself to the corners without even thinking how will I land, super stable still

Happy to report after rolling the dice on the new Barricades that...I like them. As a long time Barricade fan, I was pretty unsure of how this rev. would work out (the ugly adidas logo notwithstanding). My takeways: 1) sizing/fit is the same as the 2018 Barricades, 2) you need to wear 2 pair of sox, which I do anyway, 3) new rev. really locks your foot in...feels like foot/shoe are connected, 4) definitely lighter than the 2018 Barricades and lower to the ground--which is a nice improvement (but it still feels like a Barricade), 5) it feels like the wear will be similar to the 2018 version, 6) laces are annoying, but you can still tie your shoes and get a snug fit, 7) shoe horn helps getting these shoes on, 8) you will get used to big adidas logo...and after awhile it won't bother you. Net-net...if you are happy with past Barricades, these should work for you.

Has anyone else had the stitched eyelets pull out? I've had mine just over two weeks and whilst playing the top right stitched in lace eyelet ripped out. Stitched in rather than hole-punched eyelets will forever be stupid in a sport with such aggressive lateral movements. I really liked the shoes otherwise but I'm back on the hunt because I don't trust they wouldn't rip out again, any suggestions?
 
Bought these yesterday from my local shop and am torn on them. I've been wearing the Barricade Classics in a wide fit. These obviously don't come in a wide so when I tried the next size up they felt too long. After about 2 hours of wearing them around the house I'm starting to wish I'd sized up. Ugh... anyone else with a wide foot size up in these?

Going by EU sizes, I sized up. Based on US sizes, I didn't size up...
