How to Wear the adidas AlphaBOUNCE

The black and white print of the AlphaBOUNCE is one of the boldest sneaker patterns we’ve seen in a long time. The best way to play off a design like this is to go neutral. Some black denim with a little bit of distressing will highlight the pattern of the sneakers while keeping the look totally accessible.

The more colorful pair of AlphaBOUNCE feels more casual, so blue denim is the right move. Keep the tone light to match the sporty silhouette, but make sure you have some texture in the denim so it feels like the right match. Here we’ve made sure there’s good stacking while showing off the selvedge edging, and featuring a distressed knee.

When picking a pair of shorts to go with a shoe with this kind of visual impact, go for a midtone like grey or beige. These colors help balance the intensity of the sneakers, and keep the look fresh and light. Some raw edging will add to the textural variation.

Instead of downplaying the mix of colors, prints, and textures, you can accentuate what makes the shoe special by adding even more. These camo pants tied to mid-calf won’t be for everyone, but anyone willing to be a little adventurous with a mix of patterns like this is certain to grab attention.

Like any runner, the AlphaBOUNCE has a really low silhouette. That opens the shoe up for especially summery styling. Paired with a pair of khakis that are rolled up a few inches gives reference to the sporty look, while the print keeps it unique from the beach to a boat.

Don't forget the AlphaBOUNCE is a technical running shoe. Throw on a pair of form-fitting track pants or joggers to make your warm-up more efficient and to maximize your run. Stay neutral on the look and let the sleek design inspire you for that extra boost of speed.
