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.

Adidas says the fresh design draws inspiration from the legacy models but comes updated for the style and physical demands of the modern game. 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.

That updated fit comes thanks to a completely restructured midsole construction that features a new last for the Barricade, designed to improve the fit of the shoe while providing midfoot support and increased toe spring. The new internal chassis was meant to create additional stability so players could withstand heavy impact.

A completely new last and cushioning in the forefoot define the new iteration of the Adidas Barricade.

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. The introduction of the Adidas Lightstrike Pro foam in the forefoot is meant to improve energy return for a more effective toe-off while on the move. The brand’s Repetitor foam appears in the heel, designed to offer shock absorption.

An updated outsole technology, which Adidas previously debuted in running shoes and calls Lighttraxion, is expected to improve traction and durability while reducing weight from the previous models.

“Extensively tested in collaboration with our elite athletes, insights gathered revealed demand for a lighter and more comfortable design,” says Annette Steingass, senior director specialist for sports apparel at Adidas. “The latest silhouette reaffirms our drive to provide stability and comfort in one foundational shoe, and we can’t wait to see it on courts all over the world.”

The new construction includes an update cushioned collar to help with creating a snug and protective heel fit and a cushioned tongue adds a level of comfort.

“The Barricade is one of our most popular franchises for players of all levels,” Steingass says. “So when it came to developing the 14th iteration of our pinnacle control model, we wanted to make sure it served our whole tennis community in the best way.”

The December launch design of the new Barricade ($170) features a classic black on white look that will debut as the 2026 season starts and be seen at the Australian Open. Players expecting to don the new model includes Daria Kasatkina, Karolina Muchova, Francisco Cerundolo, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Stefanos Tsitsipas.
