Designed with intensity, performance, and goal-getting in mind, adidas Alphabounce shoes debuted in 2016 to great fanfare. While ideal for runners, this shoe also appealed to any athletes who worked out. The shoe’s innovative and unusual construction helped set it apart from so many other running shoes.
That’s because “Alphabounce” isn’t just a cool name — it’s a tech design that launches your game to the next level. This shoe’s design was inspired by what motivates runners. Psychological elements such as drive and passion play a role in your performance, and adidas wanted to develop a shoe that tapped into those elements.
Enter Forgedmesh, a game-changing technology consisting of a single-piece upper designed to provide optimal stability and support while accounting for rapid movements in all directions. The addition of a flexible Bounce midsole injects a shot of energy into every step and jump, and maintains a comfortable cushion underfoot at all times. The Continental Rubber outsole acts as a protective bed, offering reliable traction and protection from the elements and abrupt movements that threaten to throw you off course.
Lost in Motion
The adidas team looked at the mechanics of foot movements during running when they developed the Alphabounce to better understand how the right piece of footwear can minimize pressure and strain.
Materials like flexible fabric uppers and rubber outsoles with thick dot patterns allow for a healthier and more supportive environment for the feet. Runners can rely on the fabric to nestle the foot instead of locking it down tightly, while the deep grooves in the outsole provide superior traction while in motion.
All About Style
Alphabounce doesn’t sacrifice a thing where fashion is concerned. These cool and modern shoes are available in a variety of colors that are perfect to pair with your favorite track jackets, track pants, and joggers. Also in the mix are relaxed men’s slides, the perfect shoe to slip into after an intense workout.
