Adidas Grand Court Alpha 00 Review : More Comfy than Sambas!

I really wanted to love Adidas Samba sneakers because they’re so chic, sleek, street-smart. But they were too low, flat and narrow on my pickety feet. If you’re young, go for a pair. If you’re older with a pair of great feet–again, go for the Sambas. But if you’ve accepted the fact that the dogs aren’t getting any younger but still love a trendy sneaker, then the Grand Court Alpha might be for you.

The Adidas Grand Court Alpha is the puffier, fluffier, roomier version of the Samba. In my video I describe the lovable features such as the Cloudfoam cushioned midsole, roomy toe box and sturdy rubber outsole. I love the densely cushioned tongue, ankle and heel. Best of all, I can fit my custom orthotics in with no problem at all.

The Grand Court Alpha runs true to size lengthwise and fits a little on the wide side. The color of mine is called wonder taupe (slightly mauve).
