Eventually it got to the point where they squeeked with every step which was distracting when in the office. 

I initiated a return a few days before 30 days from purchase. My return reason was to have them investigated as faulty by Adidas. 

It's not a fault.

Lots of stuff if you google it. If you don't like the squeaky 'feature', dust the squeaking bits with baby powder to silence them. There are even YouTube videos showing how to do it.

That kind of sounds like a fault to me.  If it's a regular thing it sounds like a design flaw.

Trainers can make various noises from time to time.  The OP may find this thread relevant:

However, I think it is important to understand the nature / source of the squeak that the OP's trainers are making after only a couple of weeks.
It is a squeak because the air bubble has popped?  Or some other cause that may indicate a premature failure?
Is it a squeak because of the way the rubber sole contacts the floor?  Or some other cause that is simply normal?

It's certainly not normal for trainers to squeak as you walk.  I have had literally dozens of pairs over they years, but this is the first pair to squeak.  It doesn't seem to be surface dependent as I'll walk the same route totally squeak free and then the next time it will be like standing on a squeaky toy with each step.

Is it damp that causes the trainers to squeak?

Not damp.  The squeak happens in all weather conditions on all surfaces with the exception of carpet, although it may be a case that carpet muffles the sound.  As mentioned previously,  it doesn't happen all the time.  It seems to be totally random.

 I had trainers that squeaked although not new. Examination i found a tiny hole in the sole. Must have been the air squeezing out making the noise
