Here is the reivew from TW which i was able to access today at 9am...
"Few shoes garner the excitement and anticipation of a new Barricade. Having earned the honor of being considered the ultimate hard court shoe with previous versions, we have been waiting awhile for this sixth version to come out to see if it still reigns supreme on terra firma.
First up, break-in. Pretty much since the introduction of the Barricade III, the Barricade has been a shoe that requires a break-in period. The Barricade 6.0 is no different. It took me about a week of playing before I felt the shoe start to flex and move with my feet. I never felt any discomfort during break-in with no issues of poking or pinching, rather the shoes just felt a little clunky on the first few wears. Once the Barricade 6.0s started to break-in and move with my feet, as expected, it was worth the wait.
Moving side to side in the shoes, I find all the support and stability I've come to expect from a Barricade. The chassis just feels rock solid under my feet and inspires total confidence to go all out with my court movement. The uppers on this sixth version definitely have a softer feel. They broke in more quickly than the Barricade V and have a lighter, more airy feel on court. So far I've found the shoes to play cooler and more ventilated as well as allowing a little more flex for fast court movement. The new upper matches perfectly with the solid chassis to provide a fast yet ultra stable feel.
On sprints toward the net, my feet feel secure and supported inside the shoes. The inlay quickly contoured to the shape of my feet and the arch support is exceptional. Adidas has carried over its Torsion System into the Barricade 6.0, and the system does a fantastic job of supporting my arch and locking my heel in so I can take off at full speed. When I am up on my toes, the shoes flex in exactly the right place, allowing for a good push off and a quick first step.
As far as the outsoles go, adidas offers a six-month durability guarantee. The Barricade has always been one, if not the, most durable shoes on the market. This version lives up to that reputation, and after a month of hitting, I'm only just starting to see the first signs of wear.
Traction is excellent in the Barricade 6.0. I'm able to make really aggressive cuts, starts and stops and always have confidence the outsole is going to hook-up and provide the grip I need. When coming to a quick stop there is just enough give in the shoe and the outsole to allow for a controlled, even stop.
After wearing the shoes for a month, I have been truly impressed by this latest Barricade. It offers all the traction of the Barricade V, but I found the uppers to be suppler and the break-in to be quicker. The Barricade 6.0 also just feels lighter and faster on my feet.
The only downside for me is a cosmetic one, with some of the blue paint flaking off the Barricade claws on the lateral side of each shoe.
All in all, I am really impressed with the Barricade 6.0. We have been waiting awhile for this shoe to come out, and I am sure you will agree once you have tried a pair, it has been worth the wait."
