adidas Golf Unveils Special Edition Black BOOST

[hckymeyer]

Usually at this time of year all special edition releases are green.  I have zero doubt we will be seeing plenty of that again this year, but to kick things off Adidas is going in a different direct.

 

For the first time in golf we get a colored BOOST.  Previously all BOOST material was white in golf shoes, so while it seems simple to just change the outer sole color, the result is a completely different look.

 

If you ask me these are some good looking shoes.  Check out the pictures and press release below and let us know what you think!

 

 

CARLSBAD, Calif. – (March 19, 2018) – adidas is changing the way that BOOST™ technology appears on the golf course. Today, adidas Golf announced the availability of a special edition colorway for select models – TOUR360, TOUR360 Knit and Crossknit 2.0 – that all feature black BOOST, the first time colored BOOST has appeared in golf. To celebrate, adidas athletes competing at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play this week will be unveiling select footwear models during tournament play on Thursday with an all-black head-to-toe look.

 

The traditionally white BOOST midsole that players are used to seeing in adidas Golf footwear will be coated with color, in this case black, giving the shoes an even more aesthetically clean and uniform appearance. To go along with the special BOOST colorway, the uppers in these select models will also be black, which paired with the black BOOST midsole and black outsole produces a triple-black monotone look.

 

“BOOST changed the game for players when we brought it into our golf category,” said Masun Denison, global footwear director, adidas Golf. “Now with the introduction of this special edition colored BOOST, golfers can add another style option to their lineup while still enjoying the benefits that only BOOST can deliver.”

 

The BOOST technology, proprietary to adidas in partnership with BASF, provides cushioning in the form of highly elastic thermoplastic urethane (TPU) pellets that are then fused together with heat and molded into the midsole shape for each specific model. There are numerous benefits that BOOST offers, but incredible energy return, unmatched cushioning and comfort along with long-lasting durability are the key highlights that players everywhere enjoy. Playing the game and walking the course is now more comfortable than ever before.

 

The special edition black BOOST colorway is available now and will only be featured in adidas' popular TOUR360 family - the TOUR360 ($210) and TOUR360 Knit ($190) – along with the Crossknit 2.0 ($160) as part of the adicross line. All shoes will be available while supplies last at adidas.com and at select retailers worldwide.

Very cool! Personally love Boost and find it more comfortable than anything else. Even more so than my pair of Sketchers GoGolf Pro shoes

All black tour 360 are sharp anddddd have to get my wallet I'm getting them

[TSauer]

Usually not a fan of all black shoes, but somehow Adidas pulled it off. These look great! I bought a pair of Boosts last year, and they're super comfy.

That tour 360 is the best looking shoe I've seen in 2018!

The boost material is great, I'll have to jump on these!

Tour 360 has been my favorite golf shoe for the past 6+ years. Just consistently good

Im not a big fan of black shoes but those spiked ones could make the closet

[Miboy62]

Love the ones with the laces in them.

Black out all the way.

I love me an all black golf shoe. Can wear anything I want with it.

I tried the Crossknit Boost 2.0 (the one with the big ol strap going across the shoe) at a golf shop the other day and it's pretty soft on the feet. I would wear them off the course more than on the course because they didn't seem as stable as a leather shoe with real spikes. I tried the black and white version and thought they looked goofy at first but they grew on me. If I had to play in wet conditions or had a strong swing with lots of torque moving through my lower body, I don't know if the shoes would offer good grip.

I like the tour 360's, but neither of the other two.

Love the cross-knit, but the regular tour is tragic.

The tour 360 Boost is my favorite shoe!  Nice to see another color option.

I'd get a pair for hitting at the range and short game but I'm with you on wanting real spikes when it comes to grass
