Adidas Barricades vs. Prince T22?

Question

I'm on my 2nd pair of Prince T22s in the past 6 months, and my mom wants me to get another pair of tennis shoes to have as 'back ups' so i can rotate them and hopefully they'll last longer. So i'm debating between getting the same Prince T22s (http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Prince_T22_Black/descpageWSPRINCE-PWT22B.html) OR, getting Adidas barricades (http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/adidas_Barricade_adilibria_WhPurple/descpageWSADIDAS-AWBAWP.html) A few of my friends have the barricades and love them, and i like that they'll go with my school tennis uniform next year. Opinions?

Answer 1

i just answerd another ? similar to this, and heres basically what i said:



Well...i use the Barricades. For out-of-the box comfort, they are not the shoes for you...the barricades are also on the heavy side.. and def. take some getting use to...the barricades take about 2 weeks to break them in and after you break them in you will love them..also, the barricades are pretty much impossible to wear down..they are very thick/durable (plus there should be a 6-month warranty..if u wear the outside down, adidas will replace at no cost)...

in all, i PERSONALLY like the adidas barricades ..but like i said...u will really have to break them in..



i love the adidas, but i find it very hard to change from one shoe to the barricades in a short time.

great shoe once you get use to them!

Answer 2

I've played in both the prince shoes and adidas barricades and may i just say that barricades are the best all time shoe for life! They fit comfortably and they are extemely durable on clay or hard court. Highly recommend them. Plus they're better looking than anything prince could ever hope to make. Tehe

Answer 3

Barricades

get the 6.1 cause if you wear them out within 6 months, you can get a new pair from adidas

and they are nice too takes a bit getting used to cause its a bit harder in the sole than other tennis shoes

Answer 4

It really would depend on your playing style and what you feel comfortable hitting with. If you have a chance to demo both racquets, go ahead and try to play with both to see how YOUR game adjusts to the way you want the racquet to perform. In terms of feel, the Prince EXO will have more of a "players" feel to the racquet as it is based on the Prince Original Graphite which many say is a classic stick. Edit: If you have already demoed both and have foudn which one better suits your game, I think you have an idea of what racquet you should bet getting. Good luck!
