adidas Men's Solecourt Boost Tennis Shoe

Product Information

Up toward the front on the inside or medial edge, you’ll notice the tread is a bit thicker for added durability in that high impact area. Other than that, you’ll find a few versions of the shoe that integrate Ocean Plastic from a cool organization named Parley, which upcycles marine plastic debris to create material for a variety of products. Erik - "This SoleCourt Boost is similar to the Nike Zoom Cage and the Barricade, but it's a bit heavier than a Barricade.

Although the SoleCourt Boosts are not backed by a durability guarantee, our testers noted very little wear on their shoes even after putting them to the metaphorical grindstone during the month-long playtest. Although Troy's outsoles held up just as well, the absence of a durability guarantee seemed to irk him.

Overall, the grip is solid with the outsole feeling a little softer than most, and although there is a clay court model available, this tread pattern will work great on hard courts and transition well to clay courts.

I'm not sure if this is really a knock on the SoleCourt Boosts, but they're not replacing the Stella Barricade Boosts as my favorite shoes. Plimsoles remained the footwear of choice for most players of the time, but that soon changed when adi recruited French pro Robert Haillet to wear their new creation, emblazoning his face on the tongue and sending him out to show the shoe’s potential to the world. I also experienced a bit of toe jam due to the extra room in the toe box, which began hindering my movement. But for people with wider feet who fill out the shoes a bit more, I think they'll find the SoleCourt Boosts to feel faster than their weight would suggest. They’re not large enough to warrant dropping down a size, but you’ll have a bit of extra room up front.

He explained how these SoleCourt Boosts fit his narrow feet, saying, "The fit of these shoes was very similar to the adidas Barricade 2018 when it came to the length. The upper looks great, particularly up around the heel, where the material is smooth, has a light sheen, and feels ultra-premium. With an air of expectation surrounding the SoleCourt Boost, you'd better believe our team was eager to put these shoes to the test, but our playtesters were surprised by what they discovered when it finally came time to hit the court.

The toes have held up exceptionally well, too; there is not much wear on this part of the shoe at all.Tiffani praised the stability of the SoleCourt Boosts, saying, "The SoleCourt Boost delivers big time when it comes to stability. Flex points were natural and strategic placement of RPU dots allowed the shoe to bend and stretch naturally right from the start. The men's adidas SoleCourt Boost tennis shoes in black, yellow and red's TPU chassis adds game-changing stability, locking you in for every baseline-banging shot.
