Avenue A by Adidas Summer 2017 Box Review – Version #2

Anyone get a refund or replacement item (for those who requested a different size in something)? I got a response 12 days ago that they ordered me a new pair of leggings in my size but I have yet to see them, let alone tracking info (even when I log into all my shipping service accounts…)

Has anyone who exchanged their items gotten their new sizes back yet? I sent mine back on May 31st and havent gotten anything back….

I can’t get anyone from customer service to reply to my emails I’m so disappointed in this company because I love adidas clothes and I was really happy with this box but I’ve been emailing for 3 weeks and no one is replying. I’m so annoyed!!

When will fall spoilers be released?

I’m bummed. I didn’t dislike the box (Yes I would’ve liked one more item) but I wanted was to exchange the top to a smaller size and despite submitting an exchange request I haven’t heard anything. I had one other exchange in fall of 2016 and it was prompt. I’m not disappointed in the box itself, just the cs this time. I hope this isn’t the end for Ave. A. It’s my all time favorite sub.

I filled out the return form a week ago and still no response. Hmmm

Has anyone received the return label?? They haven’t responded to me since last week. I wonder if I should have my credit card company call? I don’t what to do. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi girls! For those who are unhappy with what you got and would like to swap, just swap it here in the MSA group! I just had a successful swap – My top and bra (won’t be able to use it) and some beauty items in exchange for another pair of Adidas from a previous box. A lot of members are looking for Avenue A items and you can swap them really quick if you don’t want to deal with Adidas.

This is the box I received. Very happy with the products and color- love the coral/orange. I’m a little disappointed that there wasn’t one more item, especially since the last box had the Stella McCartney bag.

I got my box today. Orange sherbet tank, bra, and orange pants. The tank is not so sheer, but I’m broad shouldered and look redic in a muscle shirt. I was hoping for the black pants. 😕 Shoes seem to run a little snug too. The whole box is going back.
ADIDAS: please stop sending sports bras. Many women need more support for high intensity activities. Support your athletes (literally) and stop sending bras only good for yoga days.

Would love to change my medium orange pants for the black version!

Has anyone else had issues trying to exchange sizes? I was trying to go online to exchange the leggings for a different sizes and the form isn’t working for me (I’ve done exchanges with previous boxes and never had this issue). I have also emailed their customer service and have not gotten a reply (or even an automated reply like most CS send out to let you know they received the email.

Has anyone else had these issues? I’m hoping I hear back from CS soon.

I LOVE THIS BOX! Although at first glance, my heart didn’t skip a bit, after trying everything on, it’s fantastic! Every piece is super comfy especially the leggings. My husband thought they were really cool (I got the black and white version). Now, I’m going to order the online since someone mentioned they are on sale. The stretchy fabric on the leggings makes it easy to wear and it does hold in the tummy a bit more. 🙂
The shoes, bra and top are terrific too! I’m glad I withheld judgment until actually trying them on. I will keep my subscription for sure!

Despite the cost of $150 I still feel that this is great bang for your buck. I have a larger chest DD so o really want them to stop sending sports bras that just look cute or all together. I think that anyone with a c cup or above has to choose their sports bras personally for what works for them. I love the leggings I have gotten many compliments on them. I use my shoes just about daily and would say after 4 boxes I’m probably a pair ahead but I use them all for different reasons. It’s also great when running in rain to have a nice dry pair for next time. The tank is cute I was hoping for a higher priced item to put this box over the top. All I ask is instead of a bra send some accessories or sweatshirt. I subscribe to other boxes that are over $100 and I feel this is the most sensible and offers the biggest bang for your money.

I have to say, at first when i saw the reviews for this box, I was so disappointed and thought that it was a huge let down compared to past boxes. Then when I found out there was 2 color variations I prayed I did not get orange. My box came, and of course I got the orange box. I hesitated in sending a request return email and decided to try on all the items, and I have to say, other than the tank top which is too big, everything fits perfect. And the color actually isn’t so bad because the leggings are a good material and don’t show off imperfections (which is usually why I don’t wear any color other than black or gray leggings while working out).

I think I am going to keep the box, knowing that this is the first off month they’ve had and hope for the best for next month. But if the same happens for Fall, I will cancel. I saw some people saying they “pause” their account, but I don’t see an option for that online. How do you do that?

I hate these orange colored leggings! Anyine want to swap? Size is XL.

I love this box! It’s my second. Great value, fun pattern, good materials. Plus SO MUCH fun to open and try it all out. It’s a bummer to see the complaints. Part of getting a subription box is the surprise/risk.

I just noticed that the orange tights are already on sale on Adidas’s webpage… Kind of a shame that they sent out a “stingy” box (compared to their other offerings) and included a sale item!

I almost caved and bought the summer box because I love adidas and their past boxes have been mostly awesome. However, I decided not to and feel like a dodged a bullet. Maybe next time around they’ll make up for it… I might cave for Fall.

Liz: you are such a good writer and reviewer. Fyi….it should be “on to the items” not “onto the items” because you’re not actually getting on the items (except in this case the shoes sort of…lol).

I took my new outfit (well, the tights anyway) out for a run. I can see now why people are saying the bra doesn’t match – in some lighting the strip matches but if I put it against the lining of the leggings it’s a different color. I had been very excited by having a top that looked like a perfect match indoors but wasn’t when I got out in natural light.

It’s funny how everyone wants more color in the shoes but then so many don’t like the color in the leggings – unless they start letting us specify preferences there really won’t be a way to keep everyone happy (if you’re listening Adidas I’d love hot pink or neon yellow sneakers!).

A lot of people had said they wished there were slides. A hat would also have been a nice addition (and appropriate for summer). Or socks, or a water bottle… I’m guessing that Avenue A didn’t make the profit they had hoped for on the Winter box with all the returns due to shoe sizes. I do hope that they return to the value we’ve come to expect. It will be hard to keep justifying the $150 cost for workout ware and more shoes than I can possibly wear (if I could run in them it would be worth it but I need orthotics and the lightweight sneakers aren’t enough support).

I know this collection has gotten a lot of hate but I actually really like the leggings. I tend to be a little boring in my workout attire and wear mostly black but I am loving the pop of color from this collection. Hopefully I will be bold enough to wear them in public! I do agree with the other reviewers that we have been so spoiled in the other collections that this one felt that something was missing or like the quality may have been a little off. Very interested to see what the next box looks like and if this decrease in quantity and quality is the new trend.

Anyone else still waiting for their box? I got shipping Notification on May 24th and the tracking said that it would be delivered on 5/26. It is 5/27 now and now the tracking says it won’t be here until Wednesday. I’m annoyed by this delay in shipping

Adidas nailed the theme, but appear to have offered it to the wrong audience. No wonder they streamlined returns…the horse isn’t taking a drink anytime soon.

I got this variation and while I still think the value is lacking compared to the other boxes I do like everything. I am going to write to Adidas to ask where my insert is…

I think the coral of the bra matches the lines on the leggings, or at least close enough. I’m not totally sure I like seeing it show through the tank.
