Adidas unveils ultra-lightweight golf shoes
03/01/2013
Available from the end of January, the adizero Tour is 38% lighter than the previous range, weighing 10.6 ounces, and has a sole measuring only 1.2mm.
It is designed with ultra-light materials and a ‘sprintframe’ outsole that reduces weight while maintaining comfort, according to the company. The thermoplastic polyurethane layer provides upper support during lateral movements, and a new microfibre leather ‘sprintskin’ (single-layer upper) ensures there is no water uptake, and adds durability.
"adidas has set a company-wide mission to be radically light in every athletic category, and we are excited to announce we have delivered on that mission to the sport of golf, " said Bill Price, vice-president of adidas Golf Footwear. "By using only what was absolutely essential in adiZero, we are able to give golfers superior fit, super-lightweight comfort, and natural stability that results in less fatigue and more energy savings at the end of each round."
