After last year's successful collaboration, adidas Tennis and Y-3 have come together again with a magnificent collection. Not only visually striking, with its black and white focus and bright red accents, it is super performance driven.
According to adidas, "the stripes in motion motif was designed not to conceal, but to disrupt. The 2016 adidas Roland Garros collection by Y-3 evokes a sense of movement, even when standing still between points."
The on-court ensemble worn by Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Ana Ivanovic, and Simona Halep was designed to provide freedom of movement all while being visually magnificent.
As always, it is the shoes that are the standout items. This year features the adidas adiZero Y-3 2016 tennis shoes and the adidas Y-3 Barricade Boost X tennis shoes.
The adizero Y-3 has full-length adiPRENE+ for better shock absorption, higher resilience and a more cushioned and responsive feel. The adiTuff 180 features breathable mesh and a supportive TPU upper material for longer-lasting durability. The fit is improved thanks to the seamless booties construction, and the interior forefoot straps secure the shoe around the foot for total stability and more precise moves.
The beloved BOOST material offers superb comfort and responsiveness. The BOOST capsules store and unleash energy with every step. The adiwear 6 outsole offers the ultimate in durability while the Zonal Adituff offers excellent drag protection. The Barricade chassis supports the midfoot and heel for maximum stability and flexibility for better movements and more confidence on the court. The adidas Y-3 Barricade Boost X is quite possibly the best of adidas. BOOST meets Barricade is a better pairing than Batman and Superman.
