The only brand I wear. My shirts, my hats, my shorts, my boxers, my shoes(all black), my socks, my keychain. Anything that is not ADIDAS has to be label free.

Had good customer service. I came in for a return and it was easy.
Their fitting room area was really messy and I think only three people were working the store. -

Stopped into this store on the promenade since I'm in the market for new running shoes. In fact, I just recycled my old Adidas tennies last weekend. So even though I never spend full price on tennishoes, I went in thinking the right style, an OK price and a good salesperson might persuade me.
Wrong. Yes, this hip store has lots of great gear and apparel and a full wall of shoes for all types of athletes, but it lacks in customer service. I didn't have one employee acknowledge me when I went in. And in the 15-20 mins I was perusing, not one person asked me how I was doing or if I wanted to try any of the shoes on that I was looking at.
Where's the closest Nike store? -

If you are a masochist, shop at this Adidas location.
First, they really need to turn down the bass-thumping music. We entered the store and the greeter had to practically shout at us. Hello, Welcome, Would We Like A Shopping Bag?- No, thanks.
I'll be blunt. I don't understand how they can get away with calling their clothing lines (for women) anything other than Flamenco Dancer turned Hookerwear. Satiny shorty-shorts with rhumba ruffles on the front panel? Come on! Neon colors everywhere. Perhaps that's why the store is kept so dark?
Anyway. This was our second trip into this place to buy a specific pair of tennis shoes for Sweetheart. He prefers the Nastase style of shoe but will wear complementary styles if available. The first time we encountered this store we phoned ahead and asked them to set the style + size aside so we could pick them up. They did it, but some idiot in the store sold the shoes (which we assumed to be clearly marked as a Hold Item but apparently were not) before we arrived.
This time we encountered a highly-strung, rapid-spoken young man (M***) in the shoe department. Please. Remove him from working with customers. We were told that not only did that particular location not stock what we wanted, but they also did not carry a comperable shoe. Wrong. He points out the higher-end shoes for tennis and suggests those. Strike one. The salesguy further suggests we go on the Internet to purchase the shoes we do want. Strike two. You're a sales guy. How about a little creative mojo to explain what might work for us that you actually have in stock? We might have opted to make a purchase right then and there. Unfortunately, he went too far in his humor and managed to insult my fiance, which was the last straw for both of us. Strike Three!
Sorry, Adidas. We went to Sport Chalet and found kick-ass shoes, along with a super helpful salesman (ask for John).
Won't return to your shops, ever. I'd go further and not purchase online from you, either, but that's me. It may be the shoes we bought from another shoe company seals the deal on that, too. -

Great selection, often times has sales. A bit far from north on the promenade though.

I LUV Adidas. Great selection and service.
(I'm behind on my reviews and trying to catch up!)
A few weeks ago, my date decided a trip to 3rd street promenade would be a good destination. It's a bit cliche, but actually turned out to be a really wonderful night. Pfft! What do I know? Haha!
Anyway, I have nicknamed him sporty spice because he plays like 20 sports (hee hee) but also because he started our date by a quick stop in at Adidas. Apparently, he heard his uncle say he wanted some Adidas and he just thought he'd buy them for him withOUT an occasion! How generous! Apparently, you can custom order Adidas shoes. Who knew? After picking out some shoes for his uncle, and playfully roaming around the store with me, we saw all the World Cup attire and equipment. Our eyes landed on these great backpacks that hold a soccer ball. He is part German and partial to the German team. The sales lady looked up their storage to find one for him and they were on sale. Yippeee! I love a bargain, even if it's not mine. :)
The sales people were sweet and very helpful. The store was clean and had tons of gear. A great first stop! -

Now this is a true adidas superstore. If you are looking for anything, everything about adidas sports equpment and clothes this is it. There are just two many shoes available, so I'd still check online for that right shoe ...
Reviewer's disclosure: I only buy adidas clothing!!!!!!! Never Nike, never aasics! So really this review can't get any more biased -

Had great customer service from a young woman. Forgot her name. She had cornrows and is studying design. She knows her shoes and has a passion for smart design. She consoled me in my lamentation that every woman's shoe seems to be either neon yellow or pink.
My uterus prefers dark, muted tones, Adidas. Please listen. -

My name is ken.
---hi ken---
and I'm an Adidas addict.
I don't know how it happened, heck I used to wear Nike all the time.
---It happens ken---
I know, but I feel weak. Especially when I'm standing on the 3rd St. Promenade and the Adidas store has a 50% off sale. I'm just not strong enough...
---yes you are---
...no, I'm not.
---We're here for you---
I know, but I can't resist the uniquely colored shell tops and old school shirts they just don 't have in NYC. Please help me be strong... and I'll take the black shell tops with the cool freakin' turquoise trim in size 12 please... here's my AMEX card.
---We understand ken---
I know you do.

I love Adidas! If you're like me, then you should definitely hit the Adidas Store in Santa Monica. It's a super huge store with all the Adidas sports gear that you could ever want. I play tennis and only use Adidas now. I find their products to be of the best quality, comfortable and allow me to dominate on the court! haha.
The only thing about buying your gear at the Adidas store is you'll have to pay full retail, which is something I don't like doing. Parking is easy in the nearby Santa Monica parking lots.

I LOVE Adidas. They are my brand of choice when it comes to sportswear. And this store is an Adidas fan's dream come true.
The main reason for my love affair with this particular location: they break up the sections by sport. No more getting lost in running apparel when I'm trying to find tennis skirts. They have outfits, but you can also mix and match most pieces together.
Even though tennis is my sport of choice, with the way I play, I actually prefer their running shoes to the tennis shoes. (I'm weird, I know) The sales staff is knowledgeable and helpful without being overbearing. And the best part: I received no odd glares from either staff or customers when I was trying on a pair of shoes and literally playing a mock match in them to make sure they could support my ankles properly as I faux served or came to quick stops.
Can be a tad expensive, but when it comes to my shoes, they have to go the mile. A definite stop during sales.Listed in: Shop.

We brought our 18 month old there as his current shoes weren't holding up to the rugged use he can inflict on them. They had about half a dozen types of shoes for toddlers (who needs more than that for a little fella?). The sales dude brought out the two pairs of shoes we asked for in the two sizes we asked for pronto. The check out clerks worked speedily, and we were in and out in 15 minutes or so.
And now, baby has a sporty new pair of shoes to wear to his first day at his new daycare! Ain't life grand? -

I wrote out this whole long story about trying to buy shoes here... I deleted it as it was getting way too long and really who else but me would care about the details.
Here's the short version: The staff are rude and would rather you didn't waste their time.
In case you are thinking I wasted a bunch of someones time in here, I only managed to try on one of a pair of shoes. -

They have an Up to 50% sale. My friend went in, got some sweat pants that had a sign that said 50% off, but when we came to the register it wasn't marked with the 50% off. The girl at the register had to go to the back to take a look at the price. She saw that it was actually 50% off and came back to knock the price down. She said "yeah it's not suppose to be 50% off but i'll give it to you this time." We said cool, thanks.
I like picking up random advertisements at the counters sometimes to read them, so I came across this 10% off coupon and asked the cashier if we could use it too.. She said "you're killing me here" but was nice enough to let us use that too! Just for that awesomeness this store deserves all 5 stars for customer service. I will definitely come back to shop here. -

So I broke down and had to buy my first major purchase that is Made in China. Boycotts are hard, especially with shoes.
I picked Adidas over Nike and other athletic shoe store because of my previous browsing experience in this 3rd St. Promenade location. Due to hipster fashion, shoe stores like Puma have been changed into vintage and douche accessory stores. There are too many sweatshop stories about Nike that even if it sold items "Made in Italy", it probably meant from the sweatshops of "Little Italy" of New York's Chinatown. This Adidas location remained true to its heritage by being an athlete's store. Adidas's store is stylish, the anti-Big 5.
I shop like a woman so I don't bat an eye when I demand customer service. The employees were very helpful and patient with my demands to get shoes my size. Since I don't remember my own shoe size, I underestimated it by 4 sizes so the clerks had to go back 4 times to find the right size. Not once did I feel I imposed because they welcomed my divoness with understanding.
The checkout guy almost killed my buzz by suggesting somehow that my shoes are outdated. He was talking in athletic-shoe jargon, and I really don't want to hear that my shoe isn't the bestest latest shit around. -

If you are looking for a running shoe and don't know where to start, definitely hit up Adidas. This Adidas store has this cool thing called the Footscan System that scans your foot and tells you what kind of running shoe to get. Do you overpronate or underpronate? What part of your foot strikes the hardest when you run? It will tell you all that neat and useful stuff.
I was recommended the Microbounce Etana, which I bought on Endless. Hey, anything for a discount! My feet love them even though I've never tried them on. I've been running in Adidas shoes for a couple of years now, but these in particular are great. So comfy and yes, bouncy, and the way the laces are designed make them so easy to take on and off. (Wow, I sound like an ad.) -

If you enjoy Adidas then this store is a must visit. They have everything top to bottom with a no pressure sales staff that is eager to help you because a lot of them work there for the discount on Adidas gear any way.

I dig Adidas...mostly their footwear. They have been one of my sneakers of choice since sometime in the mid-80's. I have owned maybe 1 pair Nike's in my life. It's to great to have this store close by for all their other gear as well.

I always stop by here whenever I'm at 3rd Street Promenade which for the past 3 months have been every week. Last month, I bought some soccer gear. The month before that, some golf shirts. There's never a line at the check out, and I love the quality. The employees always say hello and they're eager to help. I love that sort of customer service. Too bad I prefer Nike soccer shoes.
