In 2016, we partnered with adidas to introduce AlphaBOUNCE to the market as the first adidas running shoe to exist at the intersection of sport and culture.

Through a series of dynamic campaigns, we collaboratively expanded the consumer’s interest in running past its traditional demographic. Our team established the AlphaBOUNCE as a shoe not just for runners, but for athletes who need to run to train, employing a more training-lifestyle-driven approach to its imaging, strategy, and promotion.

American Football wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins fronted the inaugural AlphaBOUNCE campaign introducing this new member to the adidas Running family. Communication touchpoints attracted consumers with the concept of “flow state”, positioning AlphaBOUNCE as the footwear that enables the athlete to reach a zone where confidence, determination and clarity flow as one — creating a sense of limitless performance.

With the opportunity to work directly with adidas’ product design team to create the identity for a brand-new shoe franchise we jumped at the opportunity to develop the sharpest product positioning for a shoe franchise that adidas Running had ever seen.

Gil Scott Heron's legendary track “Running" became the anthem for AlphaBOUNCE’s second act, bringing the story of limitless performance to a wider reach of athletes who run to dominate their sport. This curation of cross-category adidas athletes included: Carlos Correa, Justise Winslow, Moriah Jefferson, and Marcus Peters.

The mantra “Don’t Call Me a Runner” lead us into the world of imagining athletes running in and around their zones of sport, where lines of sport provided a graphic thread throughout our films and corresponding photography.
