500 Miles Test: Adidas ALPHABOUNCE is better than ULTRABOOST 1.0? The Best shoe for travelling
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 08. 2024
- I never thought I would mention this in a video, but I guess experience with them both after walking with the alphabounce and the ultraboost for 500 + miles hours really did change my perspective on what is comfortable. Remember this review is for the ultraboost 1.0 not the 2.0 or 3.0.
So have you travelled far with the Ultraboost or Alphabounce? Which one in your opinion is the best shoe for long distance travelling?

BillyVisuals where did u get ur glasses. They look great.
You do know the cushion is called Bounce not Alpha Bounce right?
Alpha Bounce is the name of the shoe model not the cushion.
Good video otherwise I just get annoying when people use the wrong name. It's my one weird pet peeve.
Heyy bro.. actually i m suffering from planter fascittis so can u plz tell me abt it, i mean is it good for planter fascittis
Plz reply
I have both shoes and I completely agree with your analysis. I've noticed when I wore each at work during an 8 hour shift I felt that the Alphabounce was good for constant walking while the Ultraboost was more comfortable for staying in the same location. I have the 3.0 Ultraboost and the Alphabounce EM. Cleaning the Alphabounce crevasses is very time consuming but I think with the crevasses look really nice.
Great video and review!
I really love your videos very much it covers all my concerns for example the walking/just standing still part comparison. Subbed and please keep these videos coming 👍👍
Yo thanks for the doing a comparison! I feel that same mushiness in the ultraboost too! It made me go back to my Nike Free for a sturdier base and better all-day walking comfort. Might give three stripes another try with those alpha bounce!
Great breakdown of the sneaks. Best review I’ve seen knowing in detail which is best for occasions ty!
I really like your reviews billy. One of the most informative. Keep it up.
Good video i use my 1.0 whitout insole and overtime i do feel that feeling in the heel its gets anoying. And i agree with you 100% if you wear ub everyday your feet will get use to that feeling its always good to have some other shoes in your rotation.
Just bought a pair of Alphabounce today as I have been doing a ton of walking at work. Thanks for the review it def helped my buying decision.
I wanted to cop a pair of airmax 270's but stumbled upon this video...bought two pairs, loved the comfort and reactivity; and got another pair of alphabounce beyonds. Best shoe purchase I've made in a long time
Thank you so much ✌️
i'm about to buy ultraboost last week but it's sold out, so I decided to buy alphabounce at that time since both of them are great for running and some exercises, never knew that I've made a great choice after watch this video, and I also feel it really comfort for daily use
sometimes i think he the alphabounce look better thzn the ultra boost . nice video .
saad gamrani I agree. The ultraboost looks like the cheaper cloud foam model
Alphabounce is better than the NMD's and ultra boosts. I have all three, my alphabounce shoes feel and look better.
NMD's/ultra boosts = just hype
Slow Turdle Alphabounces are all right, but nmd's look really good no cap. Alphabounces are a 6/10 at best
Ultra boosts aren’t hype but the nmds are, cuz ultra boost is 10x comfier, and yes I do own a pair of bounce
IMO, id choose the Pureboost 2017. Alphabounce has no impact protection and other types of Boost has no response. It's also the least hot and probably more durable (I've had both btw).
I also went with the pureboost 2017. It's my favorite adidas shoe in terms of looks, combined with boost comfort, it just makes it perfect.
Michael Chan I definitely agree the pureboost 2017 has the best of both worlds. Thanks for sharing!
Wuuu Nice. I went with the blues.
When I went to Japan recently I rotated a pair of 3.0 UBs and 2017 Pureboosts (climas btw are awesome in the hot Japanese summer). And I found this to be a good combo. The Ultras are so soft that my feet would hurt if I stood for too long but "for me" were really comfy on 10-12 mile days. The pures were definitely more comfortable to stand in because they are less soft and I found the inner cage on the pures to have better lock down as well. Also the outsole durability is way better on the pures in my experience. Thanks for the review though always enjoy your content
The most underrated adidas shoe thus far is the Pureboost DPR. Such a dope lightweight shoe with a more durable outsole than a ub and a nice stretchy woven upper. Sleeper
Hey bro. I don't see enough people saying it, but great job on the cinematography! You have a good eye for composition and aesthetic. Very well spoken and good points. Representative of how I feel about my ultraboost tbh
Very detailed and consistent work! Thank you for the review.
Thank you for watching!
i don't think this review did any shoes justice he said he was comparing two top tier shoes but he never mentioned the sketchers air bost 5.8 smh
Nicolas Morrobel I highly recommend the sketchers memory foam 5.0 over any adidas
Jon Serrato ok
Jon Serrato its spelled skechers.
Yes thank you someone out there knows what I've been thinking the skechers memory foam is amazing its like walking on a cloud and I notice nurses and doctors wear them too.
Nicolas Morrobel bruh
Billy, mate, please keep doing what you're doing. I love the blend of sneaker and travel youtube, its a concept that i personally think you've perfected.
Sapling Thank you!!
Very nice review. As I hike quite a bit, it was helpful to know exactly the things you explained! 👍👍👍
Thanks for this vid billy. So accurate. Just got my alphabounce. I'm interested in the eqt 93/17. Would it give that same tingling feeling in the heel/ball of the foot?
Love you videos man. Keep up the good work! :)
dude i love ur vids definetely underated
Found this to be really accurate and helpful, as I just discovered the joy of wearing alphabounce (the beyond ones) but could't figure out why compared to my love of boost. Y I also feel like the bounce sole is more versatile like if I want to hoop in them, more impact protection and response.
I agree! Im glad I can relate my experience to you!
Take it with a grain of salt... is a better term to use. Sand taste like sh-t, salt adds a taste. Kind of the point of the phrase; the outcome might not be to your satisfaction but add some salt. Nice review, you got my sub!
vincealinceable LOL
My foot collapses since there is no support in the 3.0s
Hi dude
Today I got my brand new pair of alphabounce em.I ran 6 km with them.
After the run I noticed that there was a thin layer of rexine kinda thing on the outsole which was coming out.
The outsole rubber under it is good.
Is there anything to worry?
Did you experience the same thing bro?
This is why I like your channel !!! Unlike other Hypebeast / youtuber, you actually talk about your own opinion !!! Ultraboost makes you uncomfortable because although it is plush, it is not supportive enough. In fact, Boost puts pressure on your joints and ankles after walking long-distance.
very helpful & deep insight! thanks Billy, I gotta choose Alphabounce for maximum comfort in gym & travelling.
thanks for sharing, i actually experienced exactly the same thing. Though UB just looks so much better, i have a few colourways now and only have 1 alphabounce, but walking for the whole day, alphabounce is def feel better for some reasons.
That tingling numbness you're talking about with the ultra boost is true af, happens with my 2.0
Where are your joggers from?
Awesome review!
Great video, great explanation. I reckon part of your foot pain with the ultra boost is the torsion bar. It sucks.
Honest and a very good review on these shoes, could you do a review on the nike air max 2017 ?
I love the way the alphabounce looks, I used to have a pair of them in the cream colorway and they look so similar to Yeezy 350 V2's. Especially from a distance. I love their aesthetics, even more than the UB.
I agree! It's a fantastic beater and a great value
I've worn boost shoes every day for 2 years and do a lot of walking, your the only person that has said the 'numb' effect I've never had that.
Hey billy , I wear my nmds casually everyday and I get that numbing feeling all the time at the end of the day really warm numb feeling, question , I have 2 pairs should I leave a pair in my athletic locker or hold on to both of them ?
underrated review..this deserve more views
I will walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more
😂😂
I'm gonna leave it at 69 likes
Which one did you buy 🤔 👀 😏
Is the clear gray version good? Or I should look for another colorway?
Totally agree with you. I can’t stand walking for hours on my ultraboost 19. Meanwhile, on my alphabounce, I feel no stress walking for a whole day. Only drawback is the aesthetic. The alphabounce is a good everyday shoe but not much if you value aesthetic
100% agreed
I really like your videos, it influenced me and good job for the HQ filming ~
IMO, i would pick up UB 4.0 in 2018 x)
Kryan Tan I'm definitely interested in what they have in store for them. I heard they would be available in December!
I have both shoes and I totally agree with you on how the AB is better for prolong wear/travel and the UB is good for short travel/around town.
I know I'm late but what pants are you wearing in the shots where you show the shoes on foot?
what laces r those mine shoes are same color but white laces
Great vid and review 💪🏼 if def recommend to add a little bit of music in the reviews
Can't wait for my Alphabounces to arrive. I was able to cop a pair with a chalk white colorway for $42 :)
BRBallin1 there's also a store here who sells 42 dollars for a pair of alphabounce but they don't have my size😢
Damn I just bought the Chalk White ones for 70 bucks thinking it's a great deal..
Which camera did you use for your trip? They are really good quality. I would like to get one too.
where did you get your glasses frames?
Hello, what do you recommend for indoor running on treadmills? I am confused to choose between alphabounce and Boston 11. Thanks
would you try to switch insoles. In each shoe to see what the insole feels like on the flip side.
love the honesty
I really loved ur review it was on point,I recently got a new pair of ulteraboost uncaged, and I feel as though the sole of the left one is a few milimeters higher than the right one, and wearing it gives me an spasm of calves and knee pain to my left foot, had to switch back to my old worn out ulteraboost and am good again, do u have any idea how I should correct this?
I used alphabounce 2.0 for my 3 week trip to Asia. So much support, durability and easy to clean.
thank god i saw this video. debating over which to get for work where i will be moving alot.
Should I get the alpha bounce? I already have Flyknit racers.. what do you guys think?
Awesome video!
thanks for the review, im gonna get alphabounce
Great reviews man! I just got myself a pair of alphabounce rc 2 and just wondering how people would compare it to cloudfoam and boost technology.
I agree that when i'm wearing my pureboost for a full day walk, they became more like fatiguing rather than comfy. I don't know why.
Hey I'm glad my review helped you, congrats on your shoes!
Suppose it depends on your foot type but I have tried nearly every available brand over many years...but for a good few years now I can't move past the New Balance brand...love the available widths & a great range for every purpose?
This video is amazing 👊🔥💯
Are these alphabounce beyonds or alphabounce em ?
one word for the most comfortable shoe: EQT
only if you get the fit right. the sizing is super small on the eqt. every shoe in my closet is a 10.5 and my udftd x eqt are by far the tightest, like omg they are tight.
Bruh I copped a pair of eqt support adv and they were comfortable but its too tight like my toes need more space the shoe is too slanted but when I went a half size up the fit was perfect and the shoe also looks sexy
I definitely agree 😍
crazymonkeydude HD 93/17 not the adv
Lovable Fat Kid right
This is realy comfort or cloudfoam better?
Very informative!
I Spent last summer walking Japan just as you have in your vlogs. My UB 1.0 OG were on my feet just about everyday (with the insole). I gotta admit that even after a full day's worth of walking my feet were ready to keep going in the UB. Maybe the difference between ours is I had mine laced the entire time to lock my foot in place. I noticed in your Harajuku vid your UB were unlaced if I remember correctly.
Or, it could just be the shape of your feet that works with the Alphabounce better?
I personally haven't tried Alphabounce yet but now I'm curious.
katsu That's a pretty interesting perspective. You might be totally right. I felt like because it's a bootie fit. It wouldn't have changed too much for me though
BillyVisuals true that especially since the 1.0 UB are much sturdier than the recent ones. But damn, I was walking in my NMDs today and got that numb tingly heel thing you felt lol.
BillyVisuals I wear EQT boost and I always have that feeling too after walking for a long period of time.
BillyVisuals Flat feet problems.
katsu NMD's aren't THAT comfortable but they are so many of them and a number of them are very good looking.
What Joggers or black pants are you wearing in this video? Please respond
i know this is an old video, but i totally agree with you. i walked in tokyo last fall in boost and my feet were great when i started walking each day (and seemed like i could walk forever at first), but became sore after half a day and got worse as the day went. i know everybody's feet and legs are different so not everyone will agree. my feet are flat and my legs/knees make me walk over pronated. i think of boost as walking barefoot on sand like at a beach, its comfy and squishy but your feet and legs are constantly working to stabilize as you walk and you probably don't want to walk in sand all day. bounce is more stable and as if walking barefoot on carpet. i assume a person walking on carpet can probably walk longer than a person on a beach. then there's other shoes where its like walking barefoot on cement. im also going to tokyo again in a few months, and i actually bought bounce and i cant wait to see if our theory is correct that bounce is better long term in walking.
I didn't realize other people had that tingling. I just thought my feet were weird. I took my insoles out for a couple months and rotated with some other sneakers and now I really appreciate the comfort
What’s the microphone model ？
Are those creams or triple whites? Great vid by the way.
Alphabounce is on sale on my local Al Ikhsan so now i know what to buy for all my sports.
Nice!
BillyVisuals Yo,May u know what's the difference between the cheaper alphabounce and the more expensive alphabounce?
I thought I was crazy, I noticed that feeling and I’m feeling it right now, I actually just took off my nmd r2 pks
I took my ultraboost for 10 day japan trip. Lots of walking. I started my day from 8am-10pm the whole trip! Feet were very sore and had to change out my ultraboost insoles. It helped so much..
HI I really like your video and cam you tell me the color way of the adidas alpha bounce? Thank you!
It depends on the shape of the persons foot but seriously your such an underrated CZcamsr you deserve way more subs
M 7 Thank you 🙏
Is the alpha ounce beyond breathable?
i agree with boost.. i called it bottoming out but can see how its a temporary thing.. or reoccuring if wear alot..
Dope vid bruh keep it up i subbed :D
Feral 🙏 Thank you
Hi Billy! I wanna let you know that I bought the alphabounce according to your opinion, and it is amazing! the second best shoes I bought! Please I need your opinion on the adidas aerobounce pr shoes plz?
Is it good for road running (alpha bounce) ??!
i couldn't have agreed more. i have both alpha bounce and ultra boost and I share the exact same experience.
Hey is that the grey alpha bounce?!
Is that the alpha bounce beyond?
I personally prefer energy boost over both alphabounce and ultraboost. but just curious, for walking all day, and travelling, other than adidas, is there other shoes you would recommend? ie nike flyknit max (i watched the video where you mentioned vipormax is an advance from alphabounce)? lunarepic flyknit? or even new balance?
reignman I just tried on the new New balance 574 sport. Really freaking good. Like wow
ASICS Tiger GEL-Kayano Trainer Knit feel good too.
i liked how you talked about switching sneakers so as to prevent your feet from getting used to the comfort, i switch in between an airmax 270 and a yeezy beluga, is that okay??
Definitely! It's all about exercising different parts of your muscle memory. For example, sometimes it's nice to walk around barefoot but sometimes it's nice to walk around in shoes. Change it up alittle. Thanks for watching!
yep. definitely had that numb warming feel in my UB 2.0 before. after walking a while. thought it was just me
Can you do this with eqt 93/17?
Enough information for me to differ between boost or bounce. So basically boost is not okay for long period of walking or long running while bounce more stable n comfortable. Boost is esthetically nice while bounce was functional. Very good review.
Great review
Thanks Jon!
Interesting review! I haven't tried alphabounce but I feel that it might be like Nike's lunarlon - it's so comfortable when walking. For a more static usage (like the ultraboost that you mentioned) Nike's cloudfoam is very comfortable, as is Nike's Run 2017 model, which has a nice soft squishy outer sole feel.
You are right about that mistake - thanks for pointing that out.
Wait what if your job is walking and standing (I say mostly standing but I still walk) ????
Great great review.
I dig the alphabounce a lot. I have the grey EMs and the CNY pair is sooo fire, its next on my cop list.
Spicy The cny is so dope. I should have gotten it
Damn good content keep it up
How's the arch support? Thinking about getting alpha bounces for my job (hospital).
JChavo666 Arch support is medium to neutral on the alphabounce. I think because it's a runner, the alphabounce doesn't offer too much arch. But it's better than the ultra
what size are you
U can use "take it by the grain of sand"?
Thank you very much!
Here's the thing, ultra boost is a more known shoe to most people but the alpha bounce is more if you are a deeper sneaker head.What most people see of the surface of sneaker heads is ultra boost,yeezy,Air force 1,most known jordans,air max, and nmds which means if you have kicks like that you are more than likely called a sneaker head by people that aren't sneaker heads. Not saying that sneaker heads have to buy a well known shoe.Hypebeast are more known to people because hype is created mostly by social media of a celebrity that has a collaboration with a sneaker compampany, example Kanye west, most people follow the hype of his yeezy collection and mainly with Adidas where he sold most shoes with the 350. Sometimes Hypebeast try to flex but really don't know the subculture of sneakers, but knowing only that the pair of shoes are famous for the person and not what they did. If you understand the reason why the sneaker is popular this is not directed to you.
Why don’t you wear the ultra boost with the laces tied tf that takes all the stability out of the shoe
Can someone please tell me which alphabonuce model this is? I really want this exact model and colorway. thanks!!!
