Adidas Barricade Boost Released

Adidas has released yet another tennis shoe on July 1, 2015. It is the Barricade Boost this time. This came as a surprise for many as Adidas recently launched next generation of Barricade shoes in early 2015. Now, we get to experience the Boost version of the shoe.

We will get to see the Barricade Boost in the US Open later this year. For the first time, tennis is getting the ‘Boost’ technology. Let us throw some more light on Barricade Boost made by the Germans.

Solar Red is the launch colorway. Adidas also launched the green colorway for the Barricade Boost. Barricade Boost is available in sizes 6 – 12. The shoe is true to its size. Toe box is neither too wide nor too narrow. A size 11 shoe weighs 423 g. Best part is that No-break in is required with this shoe. You will experience snug fit right out-of-the-box with this shoe. The Barricade Boost is much like the top-tier version of original Barricade 2015 – one of the world’s most popular tennis shoe.

Regarding the upper, we see a ballistic mesh upper that offers supreme breathability. Adidas calls this highly breathable upper as AdiTuff 360. The TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) in the forefoot area will offer unparalleled levels of cushioning and stability. You shall experience zero irritation, for this material is highly comfortable.

Reinforced chassis in the midfoot area

AdiPRENE midsole will offer unparalleled levels of protection against improper landings. Strategically placed AdiPRENE+ material should offer amazing cushioning and comfort. We also see a reinforced chassis in the midfoot area. This should offer maximum stability along with great flexibility. Lockdown is great with this shoe. We also get to see the Boost technology in the midsole region. This is the same technology seen in Adidas Ultra Boost and Tempo Boost 7. You will experience unprecedented levels of energy return to all the dynamic tennis movements. That does not end there; the heel area also boasts the Boost material. All your heel strikes should be a breeze with this shoe.

Boost material in the heel area

Coming to the outsole, we see Adiwear 6 material. With this material, durability will never be a concern. Adidas is giving a six-month durability guarantee with the Barricade Boost (you simply cannot question the durability of a shoe if a company offers six-month guarantee). Along with this, we see modified herringbone tread pattern on the outsole that provides unmatched traction on any playing surface.
