    Adidas is basically the only mainstream brandname that I adore, been rockin it since 86' lol. This store specifically always has the newest and oldest adidas looks and if your a fan, you need to get inside there asap. The staff are youngish and seemed nice enough, not overly helpful but I like being left alone to a certain extent when im shopping so I didnt mind. The window display is always awesome! And the prices...well they are adidas prices.

    Man oh man, I'm not much of a shoe Junkie but this Adidas store is enough to make a convert out of me.

    Now , it does have all the usual clothes and accessories you'd expect from an Adidas store, but what really shines here is the shoe selection. They've got all the styles you could want, laid out accordingly and I've notably never had a problem getting a size here in something that interests me.

    What stands out about this store, beyond it's neat design, is the fact that they feature a handful of limited edition shoes. These shoes are always cooler, better and more enticing than their normal counterparts and man, is it great to just see them up close. They're also not really too far out of the reasonable price zone and I've been tempted a few times to buy a pair.

    At the very least, I love going in this store regularly to see what the new limited editions are and drool through the Plexiglas on some of the coolest shoes in the world.

    What I like most about Adidas is that it's recognizable with out putting their name on your ass and everywhere else.  You can recognize it by their telltale stripes.  Their stuff is athletic but streetwise too.

    This store will make some people drool.  Lots of shoes to try on.  Though I've never bean a fan of really white shoes- for those who are, this might be your mecca.  The workout wear is nice, and they have a good selection of lightweight jackets and hoodies.

    If you are a fan of the retro-Adidas look of the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's, this particular Adidas store on Granville and Robson in downtown Vancouver will have you salivating for the fashion of the golden oldies.

    Most of the unisex shoes and fashion lines have been reworked from authentic vintage Adidas designs but all designs are original, making for one-of-a-kind finds. The nearly 3,000 square foot store is as cool as the label itself, with low tables and rack displaying all the goodies, all lit in fluorescent blue, adding to its retro style.

    The staff is uber-knowledgable so if you don't see something that you want, just give them a nudge and ask them if it will be in stock anytime soon or where you can find it.

    Long time fan.  Adidas and I have had a complex relation spanning over a decade.  I can never decide whose kicks I prefer, Adidas or Nike.  

    Despite my indiscretions, I've always remained a devout fan.  As far as I can recollect there has always been a pair of red and white Adidas sneakers in my closet.  Perhaps this is a testament to my unoriginality, but I find them timeless.

    The Adidas Store on Granville is the surest bet for their latest styles.  I find the clothes bland and attempting to be far too quasi-athletic, pass.  

    Given my large and strange shoe size, it is prudent for me to shop at well stocked stores.  Naturally Adidas Store carries all sizes in all styles.  I prefer to do my shoe shopping at places with a selection spanning more than one brand. I will however always pop my head in here when rocking the downtown shop, I recommend emulating this behaviour.

    The store has excellent merchandise. From comfy tracksuits to cool shoes the products are great. The store is laid out nicely. All products are easy to see from various locations throughout the store.

    My review tends to the negative because of the staff. Perhaps it's typical of staff from the demographic (16-22?) to be sullen, bored and unhelpful but the store's manager should ensure the staff leave this at home and simply act like good salespeople.

    Visited this store, 10 days prior to the Winter Olympics. We were a little too early to pick up our limited edition Star Wars shoes. This is a small store compared to the Las Vegas store (across from New York New York Hotel) and some of the California stores that I have been to, BUT, they have several speciality items that are not available at the outlets and some of the sports stores.

    We are also huge Adidas fans, so I was a little surprised at the amount of high end Adidas items that were in the store (mainly for the men). They had a bunch of Go Canada Olympic fare, but also tons of World Cup stuff (South Africa, June 2010). Woot woot!

    Well worth seeking out this location if you are looking for some things that are not in the generic outlet/sports store genre.

    For runners, I go to New Balance or Nike, for wearing cool workout gear I go to Adidas.  The large, bright space (3000 square feet) is perfect for shopping.  The low, made to grab-and-feel shelves that the shoes are stored on are great. I picked up a navy and gold Adidas zip-up hoodie and almost got a pair of white tennis like runners.  The retro-looking fashion has been re-stylized and re-released so everyone can experience the good ol' days of Adidas.

    I have walked into this store 3 times within the past 12 months.  Today marks my 4th and last.  I entered into the store this afternoonis afternoon with the intent of buying 2 pairs of high-top sneakers.  Nobody greeted me, and from what I can tell, there were probably 4 employees in that store, none of whom acknowledged my existence.  The girl in the back was talking to a friend of hers, a man was ringing up items at the till, the guy standing to the right of the till was chatting away with someone, and the man standing to the left of the till was just standing there.  When I held up a shoe waiting my turn to ask a question, NONE of them made eye contact with me.  The customer service has been consistently nonchalant and I for one will not be returning until someone is capable of training the staff properly.
