Adidas Code Chaos 25 golf shoes

You can expect to start seeing Adidas Code Chaos 25 on store shelves beginning August 1.

For golfers who want high-performance, traditional-looking golf shoes, Adidas has offered the Tour360 for years. It has been updated numerous times to add more cushioning, stability, traction and comfort, but it still looks like a traditional golf shoe.

In 2020, Adidas debuted something different for golfers who want a sportier, fresh look without sacrificing performance: the original Code Chaos. Made using multi-layer mesh, the shoe was breathable, light and waterproof.

Code Chaos has been updated, and special versions have dropped, but Adidas is now set to release Code Chaos 25.

Who is the Adidas Code Chaos 25 golf shoe for?

Like previous generations, the new Code Chaos is designed for people who want a golf shoe that offers higher performance than casual spikeless golf shoes but is more youthful and versatile than a traditional spiked shoe.

What should I know about the Adidas Code Chaos 25 golf shoes?

The biggest goal for Adidas with the Code Chaos 25 was to increase traction and stability without sacrificing comfort.

While Code Chaos remains a spikeless shoe, Adidas achieved that by adding a piece to the outsole (the shoe’s bottom) that it refers to as a 3D Torsion Plate. This rigid area between the forefoot and heel areas reduces bending in the midfoot area and heel slipping as you swing.

In addition to the 3D Torsion Plate, Adidas updated the positioning and side of the TwistGrip lugs on the outsole so more of their surface area comes into contact with the ground. According to Adidas, they increase traction by up to 40 percent over the previous Code Chaos.

Adidas created a hybrid midsole piece by combining its Boost and Lightstrike materials so the Code Chaos can provide more cushioning and comfort as you walk the course. The top of the upper (top portion) of Code Chaos is made using a flexible, multi-layer knit material. It has a transparent polyurethane film that makes the shoes waterproof while also creating a see-through look at the mesh and upper. 

There is a traditional lace-up version of Code Chaos 25 for both men and women, but Adidas is very excited about a BOA version. After putting your foot in the shoe, a zip-up piece covers the tongue to encase your foot fully. Then, by turning a small dial on the side of the shoe, golfers can gently tighten a wire system to achieve a personalized fit. The system is called BOA PerformFit Wrap, and it is meant to give players a ‘locked-in’ feel on the course.

When you are done playing, pulling the dial out instantly releases the wires and relaxes the shoes.

Adidas Tour360 ’24 golf shoes

Adidas has updated its flagship spiked shoe for 2024 by adding more cushioning and stability.

Gear: Adidas Tour360 ’24 golf shoes
Price: $200
Specs: Waterproof leather shoes with seven replaceable spikes
Available: Feb. 29

Who It’s For: Serious golfers who want more cushioning and comfort from a shoe designed to provide elite levels of stability and traction.

The Skinny: Adidas has updated its flagship spiked shoe for 2024 by adding more cushioning and stability to a shoe that already had tour-level stability.

The Deep Dive: As golfers’ attitudes about footwear have evolved and changed over the last decade, Adidas has been making more and more shoes based on popular sneakers that also have golf-specific features. For example, the classic Stan Smith, the Samba and the iconic Superstars have all been released as golf shoes recently, including special-edition offerings. However, for serious golfers who demand tour-level stability and traction, Adidas has been offering the Tour360 for 19 years. For 2024, the Tour360 has been upgraded to deliver more cushioning and comfort without sacrificing the features that make it the shoe of choice for Collin Morikawa and several other elite players.

To help the Tour360 24 fit better, Adidas changed the insole and the sock liner and added a sleeve that is attached to the tongue so your foot stays wrapped in soft material as you walk over uneven ground, sand and dirt. The shoe’s last, which is a footwear term that relates to its overall shape and fit, has also been designed in both medium and wide width for men. (The women’s Tour 360 24 comes in medium only.)

Adidas has added a foam material it calls Jet Boost to the heel to provide cushioning. It is firmer than some other materials used in golf shoes, so it enhances stability. In the forefoot, Lightstrike, a softer cushioning material, helps to make walking more comfortable.

To enhance stability further, the three stripes designed into the side of the Tour360 24 wrap under your arch and have been integrated into the lacing system, so tying your shoes brings extra support. That area of the midsole floats above the outsole and a rigid plate that Adidas calls a Torsion Bridge. It is made from a thermoplastic polyurethane and helps to keep the seven replaceable spikes and the other traction elements locked to the ground as you swing.

The Tour360 24 is waterproof and is available with traditional laces and a ratcheting BOA system that allows golfers to turn a small dial on the side of the shoe to gently tighten the shoe before zipping up the top of the shoe and hiding the BOA wires.
