adidas Barricade 13 Clay Wh/Bk/Ivy Men's Shoes
3.6
This 13th edition of the Barricade has better step-in comfort than ever before, while still retaining the trusty support, stability, and durability that is ingrained in its DNA. Features a clay specific outsole.
The adidas Barricade 13 carries on the legacy of being the ultimate court shoe, by continuing to instill confidence in your movement. When it comes to hardcourt stability and durability the Barricade has been an industry leader for nearly two decades, however with the last couple of iterations adidas has refined and put emphasis on improving the comfort and ventilation. The upper of these shoes features breatheable mesh and is reinforced in the high wear and drag zones with Adituff Recycled material; durability meets sustainability. Adding to the comfort and new to this update is the Dual Density Repetitor midsole cushioning, delivering a super soft and energetic response as you move around the court. Heel comfort and lockdown is maintained through the Geofit pods, while the tried and true Torsion System remains, to help you with intense changes of direction and sliding control. The outsole is equipped with Adiwear 2.0 rubber in a full herringbone design for maximum durability, traction, and sliding capabilities on clay courts.
- Upper: Breathable mesh upper combined with ADITUFF recycled material strategically placed in high wear areas and drag zones. Durability meets sustainability. Asymmetric lacing system, neoprene tongue, and hidden laces on the medial side.

- Outsole: ADIWEAR 2.0 rubber compound for high wear durability. Full herringbone tread design for maximum durability and traction on clay courts.

Customer Reviews
Comfortable but very very low durabilityI grew up using the barricades throughout my youth tennis career (2000~2010). Back then they were known for being battleships that were super robust and durable. I have been playing pickleball and bought a pair of barricades expecting them to be very robust. Unfortunately, it seems like the rubber on the bottom of the shoe is now very soft and has very poor durability.
Initially, the shoes were true to size out of the box, but the plastic side-piece by the front of the shoes caused me a lot of pain on the outside side of my right foot. I fixed this with an alternate lacing pattern and I was happy with how the shoes felt. But very quickly (within ~1.5 months of playing pickleball 2~3 times a week, 2.5 hours each session) I had worn a massive hole into the toe of one of the shoes. Within 3 months the hole was massive and I had worn thru the outsoles in numerous other places too.
I believe this is a problem with the latest generation of the barricades. My wife has the previous generation and does not have these durability issues. I hope adidas will return to the style of the previous generation
Too narrowAgree with other reviews that the shoes are much more narrow than in the past. Left foot going numb just wearing the shoe and sitting down for 20 minutes. Not a great buy
Not the same barricade of old..They changed the shoe, extremely narrow now. My feet were going numb on my first match. Long time barricade fan just jumped ship. On to Nike or Yonex.....
Almost disposable...These look good, but are complete garbage. They are not that "wide" and I wore all the way through the outer sole to the soft inside stuff after literally 4 or 5 sessions. Submitted for a warranty replacement, but NOT WORTH THE HASSLE. Switching to ASICS Gel Res X EE.
More comfortable, way less durableI wore through the toe area in these in roughly 2 weeks. The previous versions would last me at least a month or two. These are much lighter and comfortable on the court, but at a significant cost to the durability. These are definitely not a durability shoe any more, the outsole rubber is too soft and thin.
Narrower than previous iterationsI've been a longtime user of the Barricade, and this was the first time that I felt the normal width was too narrow and caused discomfort. I had chalked it up at first to tougher break-in but was not the case. Going to try the wide fit. Given TW doesn't offer too many wide shoe choices, I'm a little concerned that I'll have less options in the future.
Really bad productVery uncomfortable - way too tight. And poor durability. Wore through the sole in 1 month. What a disappointment...
Big Improvement in Comfort and SpeedMaybe this is my secret for comfort in the forefoot, but I do a thin compression sock along with with a regular ankle sock. Double sock this shoe or use a thicker tennis sock. This made the shoe very comfortable. For me, the fit is better than the previous barricade and much faster. I'm 10 hours into this shoe and no durability issues at all. I bought the newer orange colorway and perhaps that's why. Highly recommend this shoe. This shoe is not a clunker like the Asics Gel Res X or Kswiss pinnacle.
Wide sizes are not wideFar from being wide, they are some of the most narrow shoes I have seen. Had to return. Wanted to save others the hassle.
Great shoe for 2 weeksWe have tried 2 pairs of these and my 12 year old son has gone through outsole in less than 2 weeks. Comfort is great but significantly less durable than the Barricade 13.
