THE BARRICADE

a real legend in the making

The first Barricade was introduced in 1999, designed to be the perfect hard-court tennis shoe, combining extraordinary comfort with maximum stability. The Barricade has since then been worn by some of the best tennis professionals over the past decade including Marat Safin, Justine Henin, Novak Djokovic, Alicia Molik and Ana Ivanovic.

The continued improvement of the legend results in the perfect blend of durability, cushioning and support. The 5th generation of the barricade is lighter than ever, with a snug, supportive fit.
