This heel drop is beneficial for beginner runners who generally have a tendency to heel strike as it promotes smooth heel-to-toe transitions. It is also good for runners who are prone to injuries in their ankles or Achilles as high drop shoes allows the knees and hips to bear the brunt of the load when running.

Created with FORGEDMESH technology for a snug, supportive fit, adidas ALPHABOUNCE offers a line of sleek, futuristic performance shoes inspired by athletes who use running to gain an edge in their game.

Not only do they provide long-lasting, bouncy cushioning underfoot, they have lightweight mesh uppers that stretch around your feet for a sock-like fit. The breathable material keeps air flowing, so your feet stay comfortable and ventilated, even when the temperatures start to rise.

The shoe debuted on June 15th, 2016 for an MSRP of $100.
