Damn, AlphaBounce already retail for $100, why does it need a takedown model?
NMDs makes sense because it's very popular and sells out in second along with UBs but AlphaBounce doesn't really move at retail.

Maybe that's the case for us but I'm starting the alpha bounce in more and more stores on more and more shelves. With sneaker heads they may not be all that popular but they must be doing decently at the store front level for the average joes that come in looking for sneakers. Explains why they doubled down on the colorways and the EM versions.
They're sitting though and not selling out, the only one that sold well were the Aramis colorway but after the first two weeks when people noticed it wasn't going to be selling out like yeezys, then it started sitting on the shelves too.
I also don't think they really doubled down on colorways, there was already a lot to begin with and most of it only disappeared when it went on sale. They also had a bunch of Spring17 colorways projected to release.
And I think the EM was already planned when the shoe first released because it took like a month for the EMs to leak.
To me, it just doesn't make sense to have a $75 takedown model for a $100 shoes that goes on sale, hell I got my grey EMs when Adidas had their 30% F&F sale which happens often enough. That takedown model better be $30 and be sold at Sears/JC Penney to make any sense
I mean I honestly think the AB is a somewhat of a response to the UBs popularity just like the Tubular Shadows are for the Yeezys.
And honestly, outside of the yeezys, I don't really think Adidas makes shoes to be "hype" shoes, they are just throwing things out there and see what people responds to or what Kanye wears.
UltraBoost was definitely not meant to be a hyped shoes, they were sitting for a good second there until it just took off.
And yes the shoes doens't have to sell out to sell well but usually those are what gets the takedown models, to get something similar because they can't get what they really wanted. What is the point of an AB takedown model when they can still get the ABs at close to the same price as the takedowns?
If the 3stripes really want shoe store presence, then they should improve their distribution and put some of the much acclaimed bball shoes they make on the stores. Even their main stores get very limited numbers and colors and it's not like Adidas' sizing is consistent all the time.
What size are you in let's say dunks?Switching over from Nikes to Adidas for first time. I know the sizing question has been asked a million times, but if anyone has any idea what size I should get when coming from a size 10 in most Nike shoes to one of the new Alphabounce em it would be greatly appreciated.
