Adidas Adizero Ubersonic 5 Tennis Shoes White

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

Adidas built the Adizero Ubersonic 5 for players who thrive on quick reactions: speed, rapid footwork and sharp changes of direction, even in long rallies. This all-white colourway keeps it clean.

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: light and unobtrusive.
• Adituff: abrasion-resistant materials in the upper's dragging zones.
• Lightstrike foam: a light, dynamic midsole for a responsive feel.
• Speedframe: a structure that aids acceleration, adds traction and supports the heel.

Specifications

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

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; for more comfort and durability at a lower price, the Defiant Speed 2.
