Avenue A by Adidas Subscription Box Review – Fall 2016

Any idea when the shoes will be available on Adidas.com the only ones I can find are the men’s and on various other websites. =(

I did not receive the fall box, been waiting for it to arrive in the mail never showed up and do I not see a tracking number. When I click on subscribe it states I’m already subscribed to the box. It does not have the Fall box as my next box it has the Winter box, but I still have not received the Fall box as of yet. Is anyone else having these same problems I’m having trouble updating my method of payment because PayPal is no longer listed as a payment option.

I’m so upset, I really was looking forward to the Fall box I fell in love with all the items and unfortunately I did not, and probably will not be able to receive it.

I’m hoping that they can fix this problem.

Well, I’ve tried the email address three times, the only phone number I could find and even the main Adidas number. No response, no box, no billing. I’m mystified as to why this is happening. So if anyone from Adidas A is still watching these messages, Carrie Plummer would love to hear from you.

I received my box right on time and submitted an exchange form one day afterwards. And immediately got a confirmation email and my items a few days later. They forgot to send my sports bra exchange so I sent them an email and they replied within 24 hours apologizing and saying they would send it right away. In my experience they’ve been very responsive and fast!

I wanted to follow up, since I not only got a response, but I also got a replacement item already! I emailed Adidas at the email address provided above, [email protected]. I emailed last Friday morning, and still hadn’t heard a peep by Monday afternoon, so I posted here (see my comment above) using my full name. Within 24 hours my email was answered, I was told my replacement item was on the way. I received my replacement bra *yesterday*, so that was lightning fast! I hope everyone else gets resolution to their issues just as fast!

I was so disappointed, this is my second box & I got an email saying they didn’t ship me the sneakers. But then I got an email with a digital gift card so I can try a different pair, yay! Still haven’t received the rest of the box though.

Is it just me or is Adidas ignoring anyone else? No fall box, no shipping notification, no billing notification (and I checked, my payment info is all good). Two emails and a call, and radio silence. The customer service has been so good up until now, but now it’s a total reversal. Is anyone else still waiting?

I got an email saying they didn’t ship my shoes 🙁 . I then got another email with a digital gift card attached so I’m sure I can find shoes I like

I really wish we could exchange items at the store- I would love the hoodie in a darker color. I wear them casually as well, especially for work since my office is always freezing. I wouldn’t wear it to workout either. It did fit weird, but as many others mentioned it’s probably from the dropped arm holes. it’s larger in that area.

I had an issue with the tank top not fitting over my head, everything fit okay. But I was hoping for long leggins, I live in Chicago, and falls can be too chilly to be out in cropped leggings. I know it’s gotta be hard to find a middle ground for everyone…. please consider being able to exchange items at the store!

Has anyone had success doing an exchange online? It asks for your order number online and it states that the order number should be either seven or eleven characters long, however my order number is TWENTY characters long so it won’t take it. I’ve tried multiple variations of this order number and it won’t take that either. Has anyone else had this problem? I’ve sent two emails to the customer service address and have gotten no reply. Frustrating!

I just got my first box yesterday and absolutely LOVE it! I received multiple compliments at school drop off so made it to the gym feeling pretty amazing!!
I was a little worried about sizing because I tend to be on the upper edge of the size i ordered, but everything fit perfectly. I was also worried about the razorback tank. Tanks are really not my groove, and I am uncomfortable when too much is showing (if you know what I mean!). My worries were unfounded. The tank/bra combo is very modest.
The shoes are so light weight and airy. I was able to remove the insole and replace it with orthodics and they still fit very comfortably (huge bonus points here!!).
All in all, I am sold! Can’t wait for the next box!

Wow,
This box was such a disappointment. I don’t like any of the clothes and the fit was off in the bra and jacket. Yes, I can exchange the sizes, but that isn’t going to fix the problem with the jacket or the fact that it is white!?! Why would anyone want a snow white jacket to go running in? Am I the only person who expects to get dirty during a workout? One more bad box and I will be forced to quit–which is too bad because I think this is a fantastic idea.

I just got my box and I am loving it. Everything fits great. The hoodie is a little large but I like a baggy hoodie. The shoes are the best. Avenue A I hope you keep up the great value!

Got my box today. I’m really happy w/ the shoes and hoodie, but don’t really care for the rest of the box (big boobs reeeally don’t mix w/ that tank or the bra). As someone who usually buys workout clothes on sale, rather than retail price, I’m not sure I got the value out of this box. I’ll wait for another winter spoiler, but right now I’m up in the air about keeping the subscription.

Did anyone else get charged 22% in taxes? Seems pretty steep since the sales tax rate in my state is 9% .

Has anyone tried to contact Ave A?

I have tried to contact them and NEVER get an answer back. It’s beyond frustrating.

My box finally arrived. I’m having a crappy day and this certainly cheered me Up!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the shoes. The Capris are wonderful I guess I’m not tall enough to have issues with them. Bra see,some loose but I can’t decide if it needs exchanged. Does anyone have experience exchanging with the fall items? Is it the same as it was with the summer box? I’d hate to send back and then get a size too small.

The tank is weird but I paired it with a different brand and it looked way better. The hoodie… God I love it! I wonder if it may also be too big but again I would hate to try and exchange and get one too small. Anyone tried to exchange theirs yet?

Can anyone chime on the response time contacting the Ave A team?

I have e-mail them a few times and have heard back nothing. Tried calling and was told to e-mail them.

Really frustrating!

Just got mine yesterday, but the sizing all seemed strange to me! Anyone else have this happen? I order “S” across the board for most athletic apparel. None of the “S” clothes fit — either too big or too small. Read on if you’d like.

JACKET (Sm): The jacket was too big, so going to exchange for an XS. I think that has more to do with the cut of this style and dropped arm holes, and also the material – with it being a bit stiff and heavy, the drape is very boxy as it doesn’t lay close to the body. The neck is too long and sort of gathers under my neck like it’s slowly strangling me. I love the jacket in concept, but the execution is a bit off for me. I wish there was a “petites” size for this so the neck might fit me better.

LEGGINGS (Sm): The leggings were also a bit large in the waist area but seemed fine in the thigh, so might also exchange that for an XS just so I don’t have as much bagginess in the crotch.

SPORTS BRA (Sm): Is it just me who had a terrible time trying to get this on? I saw and removed the plastic hanger clip on the back, so that’s not the problem. There was so little give throughout the bands that I could barely wriggle it over my head. Once it was on, the band and straps felt crazy uncomfortable tight, and stiff and constricting, like it would start to chafe over distances. I’m hardly “large” up top: I wear a 34B cup. The cups fit fine, but the band and armholes felt — again — like they were strangling me. I’m debating whether to size up to a medium — my worry is that the cups will be too big, even though the rest might fit better. Is anyone else having similar problems?

SHOES (8): I love them. LOVE. These are my new “running around town” errands kicks. I wore them to work today and they’re very smart and sharp. I never would’ve bought these myself at the store (I tend to go for loud, brightly-colored exercise shoes). But they’re such a great staple addition to my athleisure wardrobe. Being in SoCal, joggers and yoga pants and loose tees are like half of my wardrobe on weekends! 🙂

TANK (Sm): The fit on this is a bit snug? I was expecting the arm holes to be baggier on the sides, but the tank fit pretty close to my body. I think it’s fine for how I’m intending to use it as a layering piece for the beach or outdoor exercise, but am worried that if I wash it once, it’ll shrink and be less flattering. Because of that, I’m also considering sizing this up to a “M”.

I’m just surprised that of all the apparel items, NONE of them fit as expected. I’m not difficult to fit — straight up and down, basically.

Still love the box, and fingers crossed that the exchange is easy and painless.

I received my box today and I love all except for the tank. I sized up because I am large chested and the one from the summer box was a bit tight in the chest, but the neckline for this tank is not one I like at all. Is it possible to have high neck phobia? When I tried it on I felt like I kept trying to pull it down lower but it wouldn’t go low enough, made me feel claustrophobic.
Since it is the only thing I don’t love, I am still extremely happy about the box. My favorite item is the shoes they are so cute and really comfortable for the first couple hours wearing. Have not run in them yet, but for doing errands they are great.
I did mess up on sizing this time tho, I sized up on the hoodie (since I did it for the tank) which is too big and the pants are big so I sent a request to exchange.

I definitely wish they had a box for men also so that my husband wasn’t feeling left out. He actually went into my closet to count how many pairs of athletic shoes I had in there. Don’t think he would do that if he was getting this box also.

I love this box so much. Favorite box of the year for sure.

Got my box today. Love everything except the tank! Definitely not made with larger chested women in mind. It fits okay but whoa! Good thing I had the bra on or else you’d be seeing a lot more than just some side boob!

Received my box today and love everything. I have really enjoyed the curators chosen and how much thought is put into each box. Can hardly wait for Rita’s box. Hope that Adidas will put a bag in soon as I missed the first box. Thank you Adidas!!!

Mine just arrived and I am seriously in love with every item. This box is so perfect. Everything fits well and the whole box is amazing as one outfit. Keep up the good work Adidas!

I just got my box. I love everything in it. Even at clearance prices the items would still come out to about $150. I love that they added the ZNE Hoodie that just came out. Only concern I have is the sports Bra. I usually buy a large. The measurements say I should of chosen large. But the straps and sides are loose. Not good for running or plyo. I don’t know if I should exchange it for a medium or keep it and only wear it to lift or hope it shrinks in the wash smh. If i could cut 1.5″ off the straps or if the bra had a drawstring in the back that I could pull like the tights do, it’d be perfect.
