Adidas Barricade 8 Clay

[Mockys2k]

I am making the migration over to playing primarily on clay (indoor), in the winter and har-tru outdoors in the summer. I know some of the more recent Barricades have a similar tread pattern to those shoes dedicated exclusively to clay and I have been using my 7s and 8s for clay....


...having said that, I would like to see if there are any noticeable differences with a dedicated clay court shoe. Does anyone know if Adidas intends on bringing out a Barricade 8 Clay?

Thanks in advance. (and yes, before anyone asks, I did search but kept getting errors when searching Adidas Barricade 8 clay)

Mockys2k,

The Barricade 8 was made with an outsole that will be good on clay courts (as well as hard courts).

Although, we are expecting a clay outsole in the Barricades come 2015.

Hope that helps,

And after trying them for the first time on clay, I totally agree...
Seems to be the same outsole as clay shoes (herring), just interrupted in the arch area (but that doesn't touch the ground anyhow).
