Expert Review Sources

  • Runagora : 71.8 / 100 — « In Adidas's daily trainer lineup, the Alphabounce+ delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its Adidas proprietary foam midsole. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €100. »
  • Solereview : 72.0 / 100 — « Pairing Adidas's Adidas proprietary foam platform with a 11.5 mm drop, the Alphabounce+ shows strong torsional stability and consistent impact attenuation in lab testing (340 g, a 11.5 mm drop). A smart choice for runners looking for a 11.5 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • RunRepeat : 60.7 / 100 — « In my opinion, the Alphabounce+ is a daily trainer cunningly disguised as a stylish sneaker. Its ace-in-the-hole is the Bounce midsole foam found at the heel that delivers a premium feeling ride at a bargain-bin price. Despite being on the heavier side, this workhorse provides me with stability and comfort in my casual runs, days at the gym, or just moseying around town. »
