I am starting to play tennis, and would these sneakers be acceptable to play tennis in?

those shoes are fine, but it is not necessary to purchase such expensive tennis shoes

They seem to be alright, however, if you want to spend so much money, just get the Adidas Barricade V is for about $110

They're expensive and they're okay. Not the best. Like the Federer guy said go for Adidas. They have really good shoes. And it all depends on what surface you play on as well. l do not have Adidas shoes but they're really good. If you play on clay then you souls go for Babolat. They're okay because l play on clay and l have babolats.

Those are fine. The most important thing about shoes though is if it is comfortable. You do not have to buy OP shoes like Adidas or Babo's. They're not always right for certain people.

most people who wear barricade V is and other expensive tennis shoes usually are not as good at tennis as they seem. wearing nice shoes and clothes does not make you any better, they just make you look stupid when you lose. go to tenniswarehouse.com and get some cheap tennis shoes

unless you are rich you might want to start off with some $30-50 shoes. you can always find some decent shoes on sale. if you dont really have the money to waste on $130 shoes you will always be worried about damaging them and wearing them down rather than concentrate on your tennis
