Adidas Adizero Ubersonic 5 Tennis Shoes Pink / Black

Adidas's Adizero Ubersonic 5 in pink and black, built for speed

Adidas presents the Adizero Ubersonic 5 as a shoe optimised for instinctive play. This Solar Turbo / Core Black colourway pairs a bright pink with black accents.

Who is it for?

Attacking players who want quickness above all: fast first steps, net approaches, changes of pace. Our X-Compare measurements rank it among the most responsive shoes, with good comfort and decent stability. In return, cushioning is minimal and durability is on the lower side of average: it is less suited to heavy baseline defenders who wear out their outsoles quickly.

Technologies explained

• Lightweight mesh upper: reinforced where lateral movements put the most stress.
• Lightstrike midsole: a light, dynamic foam that stabilises your footwork while keeping a direct feel for the court.
• Speedframe outsole: locks the heel in for more stability, with grip designed for hard courts.

Specifications

• Standard width, but runs small: Adidas recommends going a size up.
• Weight: approx. 369 g in EU 42.5.
• Minimal, responsive cushioning.
• Surface: all-court, grip optimised for hard courts.

The Extreme Tennis team's verdict

A pure speed shoe: very responsive and comfortable on foot, it rewards a forward-moving game. If you want maximum lateral support and an outsole that lasts, the Barricade 14 is the better choice. Remember to go half a size up.
