Lightweight is the key feature of the latest member of the adidas golf shoe family: the Adizero ZG. The shoe was designed with every kind of golfer’s game and wellbeing in mind. Since core players average nearly 200 hours on their feet and in their golf shoes annually on the course, the golf shoe, as the foundation of the stance, is important for traction and stability as well as for a golfer’s health and longevity. With this understanding, the adidas team wanted to design a shoe that limited all players’ fatigue, created a fit that moved with the body, encouraged performance and eliminated drag so that every level of golfer can extend their playing time and feel great doing it.
Boasting a dynamic waterproof upper, the new Adizero ZG is available for both men and women, as well as for juniors, in both laced and BOA options, making it a versatile addition to the adidas golf shoe franchises: TOUR360, CODECHAOS 25, MC, S2G, and RETROCROSS 25. With this upgrade, the Adizero ZG takes inspiration from the brand’s line of running shoes with a cushioned, supported insole, particularly around the heel area. Layered technology on the outsole provides long-term, lightweight traction and stability in a spikeless design that still allows golfers to feel sturdy and anchored during the swing. Finally, an asymmetrical, specialized approach to the medial and lateral outsoles allows for a softer, secure stance and feel that frees the feet to move with power and security through the swing and beyond. Just as the technology meets the needs of each unique golfer’s game, so do the colorways, which come in four winning combinations including a crisp white-silver duo, as well as a classic navy, upscale gray and the hero with bold black and red accents.
“A golfer’s feet and footwear are critical to not only the swing but also to their overall enjoyment of the round,” said Masun Denison, global footwear director of adidas Golf. “Adizero ZG represents the next step on our journey to provide golfers with a lightweight option that has technology specifically focused on tackling those important areas like traction, stability and comfort, all in a spikeless silhouette.”
Building on the brand’s focus on performance, the latest line of adidas apparel continues its reputation as an athlete-first brand offering sleek, comfortable pieces to upgrade every player’s game. Using fabric technology that’s breathable, supporting and performance-enhancing, the offerings include polos, bottoms and layering pieces for men, women and juniors that blend sport, science and style.
