Ranked by Court Score
Lateral support first. Looks second.
adidas Barricade 14
Court Score 4 out of 5
$160
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.
Nike Vapor Pro 3
Court Score 4 out of 5
$135
The current Vapor speed shoe—lighter feel than a stability tank, better lockdown than older Pros, and still the Nike answer when you want to cut first and plant second.
