My Summer 2017 adidas Avenue A box didn’t have the normal information card in it this month. According to MSA, it included a card about the curator and the included shoe along with some healthy recipes. As you know, I love the information cards in subscription boxes, so I am sad mine was missing! Luckily though, I knew what was coming and that it was curated by Wanderlust. The box included:
~adidas Edge Luxe 2 shoes ($85): These shoes have yet to be released, so I guessed on the price. They are lightweight, but still, have a good amount of support. While I prefer more brightly colored shoes, I like these more in person than I was anticipating. The pattern is fun, and the fact that they are so comfortable won me over.
~Wanderflow Seamless Bra ($35): I was under the impression that all subscribers would receive the same sports bras this season – in one of two colors. However, mine was a completely different style than the one MSA received. She received the Wanderflex Cross Back Bra ($35 value) while I received the Wanderflow Seamless Bra ($35 value). I think I like mine better? It’s not exactly supportive (but the other one looked even less supportive), but the other option looked even less supportive. This one has adjustable straps (and removable cups) so I may be able to play around with it and get better support from it.
~Wanderflex Iconic Three-Quarter Tights (Trace Grey) ($55): The adidas website calls these “Trace Grey,” but I cannot figure out why because they do not have any grey in them at all. They are maroon and coral. And if we are being honest I am not much of a fan of the colors together. The tights themselves are fantastic – the material is SO smooth, and I love the thick waistband, but I would have preferred the black and white.
~Wanderflow Tank Top (White) ($35): I like the Wanderflow logo on here, and I feel like on the right person this is probably fantastic, but that person isn’t me. It’s very sheer, and I felt like the armholes were very oversized. The fit is designed to be loose, and it has a mesh back insert for breathability.
On Me!
I wasn’t comfortable in just the t-shirt alone, so I tossed the adidas jacket we received in a previous box on over this. Photobomb by Buster :).
Love the fit of the leggings!
Hopefully you can see what I mean a little bit by the armholes in the t-shirt. That’s the sports bra under it.
See what I mean about it being sheer? I personally feel like I would need to wear a tank top under this to wear it out of the house, but I know some people would rock it with just a sports bra under it and look fabulous.
All totaled I came up with an (estimated) value of $210 for the Summer 2017 Avenue A by Adidas box. This box was a miss for me. I am happy with the shoes, but I don’t think I would have purchased any of these pieces on my own. I know adidas Avenue A only promises three to five items, but I was surprised to get only four pieces – just based on what they have sent in their previous boxes.
What do you think of the Summer 2017 Avenue A by Adidas box? It is now sold out, but the Fall 2017 box is on sale now!
I tried to skip this shipment because I was afraid they’d send shorts, which somehow resulted in my sub being canceled altogether. Oh, well. At first, I thought this box actually looked pretty good, but I don’t like wearing crazy tights, and with the sheerness of the tank and the lack of support with the bra, this box would not have been a win for me. Also, I feel like the value is lower than it has been in the past, but maybe I’m having selective memory?
I thought this box was horrible value wise, but now I think it’s horrible all together. The sports bra isn’t even a nice one and a plain orange bra with that top looks kinda ick to me!! If they’re going to do a low value and variety, at least let people pick which one they want. Seeing as how you picked up $20 adidas tights earlier this week, I hate this box even more. I can’t believe they’d deviate so far value wise from all the other boxes they’ve sent. I hate FedEx smartpost, but maybe they should try that if they’re trying to save money instead of giving out a subpar product. I can’t believe I spent so much money on this. It’s a ripoff, and I’d rather have spend it on twice as much off-season gear.
Let me know which variations you end up getting. And I agree, the orange bra with that sheer white is not for me! Seriously if you are a Costco member, get those $20 tights!!!!
This is my first box from them, and I am disappointed that the value is so low compared to previous boxes. The shoes make it worth it for me, but I could have gotten the clothing pieces for far less. It seems so different from the previous boxes I have seen in your reviews and it makes me sad 🙁
The only thing I really cared about was the shoes, and while it could have been better, I ‘m happy. Mine was the other iteration- black/white leggings/gray sports bra. I don’t like tanks, let alone sheer ones, but my daughter loves all my adidas rejects and she will rock this one with her tiny self. I gave her the jacket you are wearing and she says she gets tons of compliments, oddly from her guy friends.
disappointed with this subscription
