My new tennis shoe

I was thinking of getting the Barricade V; the shoes that Novak Djokovic wears but the tip of the shoe wasn’t too comfortable for me. In case you’re wondering, I have a custom-made Barricade tennis shoe that I wear. And yes, I love tennis and I’ll be taking that up more seriously once I’m done with my bowling this November. So instead, I got the Tirand III; a tennis shoe as well that I really love for its fit and comfort. Luckily, they have my shoe at size 11. I haven’t made up my mind though if this is going to supplant the Mali as my favorite adidas shoe.

Offering the look of the Barricade V, the Tirand III comes in at a more affordable price. Though the Tirand III may not offer the stability or durability guarantee of the Barricade V, it provides excellent comfort focusing on midfoot support and requires no break-in.

Fit: True to size for length fit. Width fit is medium with a medium height arch support.

Upper: adiTUFF for superior abrasion resistance in the toe area. adiTUFF for abrasion resistance in the toe area. Synthetic leather upper for light weight and durability.

Lining: Textile.

Inlay: EVA insole for anatomical support and comfort.

Midsole: 3-D TORSION SYSTEM for midfoot integrity. adiPRENE for high shock absorbency to cushion and protect the heel upon impact. adiPRENE+ insert for forefoot propulsion and efficiency.

Outsole: adiWEAR outsole for increased durability in high wear areas. Herringbone pattern with pivot point for non-marking traction on all court surfaces.

Weight: 14.0 ounces (size 10.5)

Color: Black / White / Silver
