New adizero golf shoe is 10% lighter

07/01/2014
Sports brand adidas has launched a new version of its adizero golf shoe, the adizero one.

Golf designers at the German brand set out to develop lighter golf footwear than previous versions, and the new shoe achieves that, with a 10% weight saving compared to earlier adizero golf shoes; each shoe weighs less than 300 grammes.

It has a one-piece fused upper that bonds together five layers of material to give what the company calls “a consistent glove-like fit on the foot”. It also has a lighter and thinner outsole with seven cleats in place of the ten that previous adizero golf shoes had.

The new shoe will become available on general release on January 23.
