After around a month wearing my custom Adidas Barricade IV, I quickly came to the realization that custom shoes were really ideal for me. Sure, they cost a lot more compared to off the shelf Adidas Barricade IV’s which could be easily purchased in Queensway for around SGD$125 to SGD$135, but if you’re severely flat footed like me, these custom tennis shoes were a dream come true. Coupled with the additional Adidas Geo Fit technology, that came with MI Adidas Customization process for my Adidas Barricade IV, it was indeed a worthwhile investment for me. As mentioned in my previous article below, I also managed to extend the lifespan of my tennis shoes by using Shoo Goo a highly strong, adhesive, glue like substance to repair and prolong the soles of your tennis shoes due to the constant daily wear and tear that frequent use in the tennis court causes. Article on how to repair and prolong the life you’re your tennis shoes here.


In conclusion, the MI Adidas Customization for my first Adidas Barricade IV was indeed something I never regretted. From the very beginning I knew that the MI Custom process for my tennis shoes will be a great benefit for me. I have never encountered any severe pains felt on my heel or foot ever since. My tennis toe problem has since got better after the switch. I was so impressed and happy with my first pair of custom Adidas Barricades (article on how I customized my Adidas Barricade IV here) I ordered my 2nd pair of Custom Adidas Barricade IVs as my first one was already rather worn but still relatively in good use having prolonged its sole lifespan with Shoe Goo.


This time I didn’t have to go through the entire MI Adidas custom process but only have to choose the colors which I wanted. After 3 weeks I got my 2nd pair of custom Adidas Barricade IVs. I choose relatively the same color schemes keeping the black and orange, but choose to use Navy Blue instead of Grey this time. To me I wanted something dark this time. The end result wasn’t what I was truly looking for but, It still look relatively OK with me. I am just looking forward to customizing my next Adidas Barricade V’s the next time round.
