adidas Adizero Ubersonic 4 Clay Court Tennis Shoes

Playing on clay requires patience, determination and speed. These adidas tennis shoes are designed to make you swift and agile on clay courts. A seamless stretch-woven upper provides a locked-in fit on every stride whilst a featherlight Lightstrike midsole cushioning ensures you're always ready to react.

Lightweight Mesh Upper

The upper is made from a lightweight woven mesh that will keep you feeling both comfortable and secured to the court. By making the upper lightweight, adidas have allowed you to make explosive movements when sprinting without any excess weight to slow you down. The mesh itself will also allow air to flow in and out of for constant ventilation. This will mean that warm air inside is regularly removed, replaced by cooler air from outside. This constant process will remove irritations and keep you focused. Moisture from sweat is also able to escape out, maintaining a comfortable environment within the shoes. Within the shoes, there is also a knitted inner sock as well as an external heel counter that will provide stability from extreme lateral movements and changes of direction. This will mean that your feet are held in a comfortable and secured position despite forces placed against them. This will result in a healthy and protected foot and ankle position, whilst also allowing you to stretch for wider shots. The shoes have an AdiTuff Toe Guard. This will absorb any bumps or knocks that you might pick up, removing the risk of discomfort and injuries to the forefoot. The whole of the upper is seamless, which will feel extremely comfortable within, with no risk of irritation from rubbing. The fit is sock-like, which will feel personalised, and will also allow you to stretch the foot without restriction. An easily secured lacing system will find the perfect fit all the way up the foot. A soft and flat-lying tongue will rest on the ankle, with no risk of irritation or restriction.

Lightweight EVA Midsole

Keeping the overall weight of the shoe low, without compromising any performance, the midsole will provide a comfortable and protective layer between you and the court. By making it extremely lightweight, the midsole will still allow you to feel light on your feet. Towards the top of it, the EVA is soft and spongey. This will result in a cushioned feel on every step, taking weight off your knees and ankles. This will reduce the risk of fatigue and injury, allowing you to push yourself harder in comfort and confidence. The EVA towards the bottom of the midsole is a lot firmer, designed to absorb shocks. This will prevent heavy forces from reaching the sole of your foot, for complete protection. As well as this, the midsole is able to stretch which will match your movements when reaching for the ball. The stretchy nature of the midsole will also act as a spring, giving you an extra advantage.

Adiwear Clay Court Outsole

An Adiwear clay court outsole offers an optimal balance of amazing abrasion resistance, traction and flexibility to create ultimate high-wear durability. The rubber will form a solid grip with the court to ensure that you have a strong and secured position when striking a ball. It will also provide grip when running and pivoting, giving you complete control. Designed to last a long time, the rubber is abrasion-resistant, standing up against heavy contacts to maintain its shape and definition over a long period of time.
