Verdict
The current Barricade stability shoe—lighter and quicker than the 13, still built to plant and recover, with real Lightstrike Pro push-off and a claw chassis that still owns the lateral lane.
A wide, stable hard-court shoe that lasts a rec season if you are hard on laterals.
The classic black octagon that made shaped poly famous—heavy spin and firm control if you already swing big; stiff, not free power, and not Rafa’s exact 15L bed.
