Brain Dead and adidas join forces on two takes of the Barricade 13 - one of the Three Stripes’ most advanced tennis silhouettes. Known for its stability, torsion system, and lockdown fit, the Barricade has been a mainstay on the court for decades, quietly marking its 25th year in 2025. Since 1999, the Barricade has stood as adidas’ pinnacle of control, stability, and endurance, reshaping the way athletes move across the court. The two pairs we designed in Silver and Magenta are built to perform on the court and also live off-court.
Key details include a translucent outsole exposing speckled underlays, metallic silver 3-Stripes, co-branded sockliners, and custom tongue branding. Each pair takes on a distinct personality: one built in magenta and purple hairy suede, the other in reflective silver mesh. Together, the two silhouettes pay tribute to the Barricade’s legacy while pushing it into new territory by bridging performance and lifestyle.
Dropping alongside the Brain Dead x adidas Barricade 13 is our Brain Dead Equipment: Tennis collection. We styled the Barricade 13 with our latest apparel in the campaign to show how the pieces move together in action as the gear blurs lines between sport and casual wear. Utility made for play, exploration, and whatever space you bring it into: on-court or off-court.
The Brain Dead Equipment Tennis Collection lineup includes our Brain Dead Equipment Tennis Totes in both Navy Multi + Green Multi, Two-Toned Bandana Hat in Brown, Dyed Short Sleeve Boxed Pique Polo in Green Smoke, Folk Technology Mesh T-shirts in both Cement + Black, Nylon Ripstop Equipment Short in Green, and our Logohead Dampener in Ice Blue.
