Although Adidas’ tennis lineup might be a quiet standout, their newest collaboration with Brain Dead is set to revive it just in time for the fall season. Taking on the brand’s Barricade 13 silhouette, Brain Dead’s statement streetwear touch brings two new variations of the sneaker. Still apt for the tennis courts, the new Barricade 13 merges Adidas’ performance details with Brain Dead’s disruptive design for a new kind of tennis sneaker. Offering a more lifestyle look, the Barricade 13 aims to bring a bolder sense of style to the sport, which is often associated with a subdued, neutral aesthetic. Once again bringing together sport and lifestyle, the Barricade 13 is a fascinating choice for those who don’t want to settle for tennis whites.
Brain Dead and Adidas merge tennis with streetwear in Barricade 13
Offering two distinct colorways for the Barricade 13, Brain Dead and Adidas have added plenty of flair to their tennis lineup. Featuring a translucent outsole with speckled underlays, the design fuses materials for a more dynamic look. Metallic silver stripes, co-branded sockliners, and custom tongue branding offer more distinct details upon further inspection. Traditional to the Barricade series, the sneaker features a supportive torsion system, an Adiwear outsole, and an engineered fit. Fans will have the option to choose from two colorways: one featuring purple hairy suede and the other featuring reflective silver mesh. Available in a limited amount, the Brain Dead x Adidas Barricade 13 can be purchased via Adidas’ CONFIRMED app, select Adidas stores, select retailers, and Brain Dead’s webstore for a retail price of $160.
