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.
The Blade that finally keeps up with modern club pace without ditching the feel that made the line famous.
A comfortable modern 98 that gives rec regulars easy depth without a boardy, tour-stiff feel.
