Living up to the Barricade legacy, the Barricade IV is chosen by players who start to look like they are wearing sandals out only after a month of play. The fourth addition to the Barricade line has been fitted with a horde of Adidas technologies. The adiWear technology features a non-marking rubber that adds high durability while allowing to pivot and slide. The adiPrene technology has been redefining comfort for over ten years. The impact-absorbing insert provides long-lasting comfort and cushion. For protection on stop-and-starts, the Torsion System from Adidas stabilizes the foot while providing a lightweight arch support while still permitting the forefoot and rearfoot to move freely.

When I first put the shoe on, the arch within the shoe felt different to me. The soft, glove-like feel I received was unlike any other shoe and I liked it. The Barricades are a highly durable and had a substantial amount of grip. These shoes perform at their highest level until your toes appear and above all, Adidas has added a six-month warranty on any pair that has been deemed the grade of unusable. The stiffness of the shoe provides excellent durability and a high comfort rating.

The Barricade IV has become a legend in its own time that comes in many color schemes. The limited edition U.S. open barricade IVs features red and white stripes and stars to represent the United States flag. If your patriotic and want to express your love of U.S. or just want to collect the limited editions, this is the shoes for you. This shoe has become the choice of top ATP and WTA players and it is not a wonder why. If you find yourself spending a fortune on shoes this is the pair for you.
