Adidas Adizero Ubersonic 5 Tennis Shoes Black / White

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

Adidas designed the Adizero Ubersonic 5 for players who bet everything on speed and precision, especially on hard courts. This Core Black / Cloud White / Solar Turbo colourway pairs a black base with white and a touch of bright pink.

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

• Minimalist mesh upper: lightweight, with a textile lining.
• Adituff: abrasion-resistant materials on the high-friction areas of the upper.
• Lightstrike foam: a light, dynamic midsole for a direct feel for the court.
• Speedframe: a structure that aids acceleration, adds grip and locks the heel in.

Specifications

• Standard fit, true to size: choose your usual size.
• Weight: approx. 369 g in EU 42.5.
• Minimal, responsive cushioning.
• Surface: all-court, designed first 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.
