I'm not sold that the quality is better...Goddddd no. Adidas apparel is barely better than what Russel was putting out. I'm over it.

Post a non-marketing photoI don't have the problem with Adidas that so many of you do - I actually like every single Tech thing I've bought made by Adidas.
Scratch that - almost every single thing.
Given the 50% off, last week I pulled the trigger on a pair of Alphaboosts. And having now seen them and tried them on, I have to say - kudos to their marketing team. On the website, they somehow made the photos of this god-awful shoe look like something moderately decent.
In person? My god. WTF are these things?
Unboxed today, returning them tomorrow. Hopefully someone can pick them up when they're 90% off. At least you can wear them around the house for that amount - although the cat or dog or goldfish may laugh at you.
I warned folks in my review of them earlier in the thread that they look whiter than the pictures show, have an odd looking and unpractical lacing system, and are heavier and clunkier than any shoe I would run in. I kept mine, but am not surprised that others would not.I don't have the problem with Adidas that so many of you do - I actually like every single Tech thing I've bought made by Adidas.

OK goodGeorgia Tech, Adidas to continue partnership

I got mine the other day and I think they are comfortable and don’t look that bad. They are more white than I thought tho. Gonna be hard to keep clean.I warned folks in my review of them earlier in the thread that they look whiter than the pictures show, have an odd looking and unpractical lacing system, and are heavier and clunkier than any shoe I would run in.

Correct.I got mine the other day and I think they are comfortable and don’t look that bad. They are more white than I thought tho. Gonna be hard to keep clean.
Here you go. IMO, it’s just an all-around odd-looking shoe.Reminds me of the ugly-*** Skechers that had the giant platform rounded sole.Post a non-marketing photo
It looks to me like they somewhat thought about the design on the outer-facing side, then got to the inside and just said screw it. I do really hate the trend of the mega cushioned soles, they almost all look horrible.Here you go.

Props to Adidas for the nice packaging, though. And I like the color scheme - wish I had gotten a pair of Ultraboosts, but a $200 pair of shoes just isn’t in my budget.

They've made plenty of those. I actually have 3 in my closet right now.Sucks big time. They don’t even know our colors are white and gold. So frustrating. The fact that we can’t get a Gold shirt with a white GT logo is ridiculous
Not what i am referring to. Just Gold Apparel with a Clean white GT logo (no border). Thats it. Insane we dont have thatThey've made plenty of those. I actually have 3 in my closet right now.

I’ve been wearing Adidas off and on since the 70’s. My first Adidas purchase was the Stan smith tennis shoe as HS SR.I don't have the problem with Adidas that so many of you do - I actually like every single Tech thing I've bought made by Adidas.
