didn't try the uber3. but anyway, it isn't fair to compare such a light performance shoes like Uber4 to nike GT Turbo which is much heavier shoe with double zoom air system.The energy return in the Uber 4's is superb. The lightstrike cushioning system, and the innovative midfoot shank design works very well.
I still prefer the GP Turbos and also love wearing the Babolat SFX3's, so I don't think I'll get any more of these, but Adidas is onto a winner for sure.
I know you tried the Ubersonic 3's. They were already a good shoe, but it's pretty hard to get away with an expensive flagship tennis shoe that just had a standard EVA cushioning system. Adidas was flogging off stone-age tech in an expensive top of the line tennis shoe. That is one reason why the Ubersonic 3 sorely needed an upgrade. With these new Uber 4's they updated the cushioning system. Also, the lacing system in the Uber 4 is substantially better than what the Ubersonic 3 had.
Big return to form for Adidas, and they desperately needed it.
what about SFX3's, it seems like fairly light shoes. How does that compare to Uber 4 ?? cushioning and support wise ?
