This fall, adidas and Brain Dead are teaming up once again—this time with two collaborative takes on one of adidas’s most technically advanced tennis silhouettes: the Barricade 13.
Building on their shared vision of reimagining classic tennis aesthetics, the collaboration blends elements of adidas’s DNA with Brain Dead’s unmistakably progressive design approach.
With its unconventional lifestyle appeal for the court, the Brain Dead Barricade 13 brings a fresh perspective to performance tennis.
Through Brain Dead’s signature rebellious design, the Barricade 13 is reimagined in two extraordinary versions that combine the label’s disruptive design language with the core functional features of the adidas Barricade: the stabilizing Torsion System, the durable Adiwear outsole, and the precisely engineered fit.
Standout details include a translucent outsole with speckled accents, metallic silver Three Stripes, co-branding on the insole, and a custom-designed tongue label.
Both versions have a personality all their own: one in purple Hairy Suede, the other in reflective silver mesh.
Together, the two silhouettes pay homage to the Barricade DNA while simultaneously taking it into new territory—blurring the lines between performance and lifestyle, sports and subculture.
The adidas Barricade 13 Brain Dead releases on October 9 and will be available in limited quantities through select retailers such as 43einhalb, AFEW-Store, Asphaltgold, HHV, and SUPPA.
