Play at light speed wearing the adidas Adizero Ubersonic 4 Grass tennis shoe in White/Black/Team Green, featuring Lightstrike cushioning for next-level responsiveness and a pimpled outsole designed specifically for grass courts.
Equipped with a seamless Primeknit upper, the adidas Adizero Ubersonic 4 combines lightweight comfort and a locked-down feel to put you in full control as you speed around the court. Internal reinforcement provides stability for lateral movements, while a streamlined collar and lacing system minimise distractions and ensure a snug, secure fit. Underfoot, the integration of Lightstrike cushioning makes this the most responsive Ubersonic ever. The new technology’s super-fast energy-returning properties propel you into action, and it makes a huge difference when changing direction at pace. An ever-reliable Adiwear outsole, meanwhile, provides durable traction to keep you on a secure footing.
adidas
The history of modern adidas tennis footwear goes all the way back to 1963, when the 3-Stripes introduced the first ever leather shoe to be seen on-court.
Championed by company founder Adi Dassler’s son, Horst, the shoe’s sturdy construction was a significant departure from the traditional canvas plimsoles that the brand had produced in the past.
Plimsoles remained the footwear of choice for most players of the time, but that soon changed when adi recruited French pro Robert Haillet to wear their new creation, emblazoning his face on the tongue and sending him out to show the shoe’s potential to the world.
Sound familiar? That’s right, the Haillet became the legendary Stan Smith, with the American replacing the recently retired Frenchman in 1971.
Since then, it’s been a constant flow of innovation from adidas, and a never-ending stream of star endorsement. From signature shoes for Rod Laver and Billie Jean King to design partnerships with Stella McCartney and Pharrell Williams, adidas have always set the standard in both performance and style.
Their latest range includes the legendary Barricade with its unrivalled stability, along with the light and fast Ubersonic. Or, if you prefer more of an all-rounder, check out the CourtJam and CourtFlash ranges. Options are available for a variety of surfaces, of course, and you can take your pick from adi’s superb midsole cushioning, whether that’s Bounce, Boost, or Lightstrike.
Grass Court
Grass court tennis shoes are specifically engineered for use on grass courts, where the game is fast and the footing can be slippery. These shoes typically feature a nubbed or pimples outsole rather than a deep tread pattern to ensure the right balance of grip and give, and to avoid damaging the court surface. This helps players maintain their footing and allows for quick, agile movements. Additionally, they often provide extra reinforcement in high-wear areas for increased durability. Grass court shoes may also include features like lightweight construction for speed and responsive cushioning for comfort during fast-paced play.
