It is my contention
That the Barricade is the best shoe on the market. (Hard court)
Change my mind.
Nike: Vapor 11 is weak. Vapor Cage is B+
Asics: FF 3 too expensive. GR9 has funky dynawall and tongue straps that choke a wide footer.
Mizuno: Maybe. My goat baseball glove was a Mizuno.
Diadora: Maybe the Torneo. Some whiff of Guga swag. I question whether the fit can be customized as well as the ‘cade.
Lotto: swag is minimal. Official journeyman shoe? Could actually be a good shoe, the herringbone vibram sole looks good.
Wilson: Rush Pro looks good and comes in good colors. Clashes with my HEAD racquet. Uppers are too soft.
KSwiss: no swag. Nylon stiched to a futon. Just get the all white 5 stripers for after the match chilling.
New Balance: Tommy Paul rally car shoe has a good shape, looks like an Air Flare mated with a Penny Hardaway 1. I see good local players in these. This could be our runner up. The rest of the line looks like your Uncle Kent bought them at Big 5.
Barricade: Lacing system can be dialed in to fit foot shape. Wide forefoot sits low to the ground. Always on sale. Tons of colors. Six month guarantee, sturdy shank. These are actually the new vapors.
