Adidas Twenty-five years later and Adidas is still going strong with the Barricade tennis shoe franchise. The German-based brand launched the 14th iteration of the franchise, continuing to push the Barricade forward to a new generation of tennis players.

And updated it is, with Adidas creating an entirely new last for the model and adding something to the construction that the brand has never done in tennis shoes before.

A completely new last and cushioning in the forefoot define the new iteration of the Adidas Barricade. Adidas To help with the fresh construction, Adidas brought foam into the forefoot of a tennis shoe for the first time. While foam is common in the forefoot across the sport, Adidas has long focused its foam cushioning elsewhere in tennis shoe design.
