adidas launches next gen CodeChaos shoe – Golf News

adidas Golf is introducing the next generation of its spikeless CODECHAOS shoe range with the launch of  CODECHAOS 25.

The new model boasts a redesigned outsole and upper to provide enhanced traction and stability in an eye-catching design that is sure to stand out on the golf course.

Led by a laceless BOA model, CODECHAOS 25 shoes will also come in a laced version for men and women and will be available from August 1.

The redesigned outsole features a new 3D Torsion plate which improves stability both during the swing and as golfers walk the course. The Torsion plate not only provides a better fit but also minimizes midfoot bend, which ultimately can cause internal heel slip.

The TWISTGRIP outsole features a new lug shape placed over a greater surface area, adding up to a 40% increase in traction-providing elements compared to previous CodeChaos designs.

“Nearly five years ago we made the bold move to introduce CODECHAOS when traditional spikeless models were saturating the market,” said Masun Denison, global footwear director, adidas Golf. “The impact this footwear had then and continues to have now is another proof point for us that golfers are continuing to look for spikeless performance in athletic and non-traditional silhouettes.

“CODECHAOS 25 represents a milestone for us on how we’ve made this shoe better over the past five years, especially during a time where golf has seen such tremendous growth and participation.”

To further enhance performance, the adidas team worked with engineers at BOA to incorporate PerformFit Wrap powered by the BOA Fit System as part of the BOA model of CODECHAOS 25. Covered by a zipper shroud, the PerformFit Wrap offers golfers another component aimed to provide a locked-in feel with additional stability.

Knowing comfort is important for all golfers, adidas created a new hybrid midsole featuring both BOOST and LIGHTSTRIKE technologies. While BOOST focuses on energy return and cradling the foot, LIGHTSTRIKE is featured around the rim of the midsole to add both stability and comfort when golfers swing.

The upper for CODECHAOS 25 is comprised of a durable, multi-layer knit with the goal of providing golfers with additional flexibility.

The bottom layer closest to the foot features a soft, moisture-wicking material, which helps to increase comfort over the course of the round.

The middle layer, a dynamic jacquard, is an open structure aimed to provide flexibility and help golfers adapt to the lie, while the outer layer is a sporty mesh to enhance the layers beneath.

A transparent PU film also provides a ‘window’ into what makes this upper unique while still giving golfers waterproof protection.

CODECHAOS 25 will be available on adidas.com, the adidas app and at select retailers in both BOA and laced models for men and women, along with a junior model, beginning August 1. RRP: £159.99
