New Adizero ZG shoe from Adidas

January 22, 2025

The Adizero franchise has seen unprecedented success across a multitude of sports for Adidas. Winning World Championship titles, broken records and major marathon wins in running, as well as championships in soccer, it has been at the forefront in athletics for years.

Now, the brand is bringing its winning Adizero formula back to the golf course with the all-new Adizero ZG. A new spikeless performance model with a fast, sleek and lightweight silhouette designed to rejuvenate your feet and play light all round.

Through their research, Adidas found that core golfers average 162 hours per year on their feet, which could lead to fatigue. So, the company set out to create a shoe that could help correct that fatigue and offer golfers a lightweight, but stable option on the golf course.

“A golfer’s feet and footwear are extremely critical to not only the swing, but also their overall enjoyment of the round,” Adidas Global Footwear Director, Masun Denison said. “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.”

Adidas used a Spikemore outsole with lightweight undercut lugs along the perimeter to give golfers increased lateral stability and adaptive traction. The lugs react to what the golfer needs based on the lie and terrain and a secondary cone-shaped traction system helps golfers feel flat on uneven terrain.

Adidas also combined lightstrike and lightstrike pro cushioning in the midsole for comfort and a molded heel cushion with an insite 2.0 sockliner for added padding. The upper is waterproof and features a premium sprintskin material. It’s a multi-layer upper made of high-performance materials to give an athletic look while still being lightweight.

“For me, footwear is another critical piece of my equipment when I play and compete, but beyond the performance it also needs to be comfortable and look good,” PGA Tour player and Adidas athlete, Ludvig Aberg said. “The new Adizero ZG is one that checks all these boxes for me, but I was especially impressed with how well it helps with traction and stability while still being so comfortable and lightweight. It’s fun to play a small role in helping bring these products to life and it’s another example of how the adidas team continues to lead in footwear design for all golfers.”

The shoe also features a newly designed dynamic torsion plater in the outsole to help with rebound and avoid rollover and power leak in the follow through of the swing.

The new offering will be available in laced and BOA models and in a variety of colorways to fit men, women and juniors in the golf space.
