Every adidas Golf Shoe Explained: Which model is right for you?

While FootJoy may just pip it as Golf's most iconic footwear manufacturer, adidas probably has a strong claim as doing more bring the golf shoe into the modern age than any other brand.

It was, after all, the German brand that two decades ago introduced the world to the Tour360: a golf shoe that incorporated modern cushioning and wrap-around support into an athletic, runner-inspired silhouette. Still the standard bearer for sporty golf shoes to this day, it remains an enduring icon and a popular choice among tour pros and amateurs alike.

As adidas has grown into one of golf's most powerful apparel and footwear manufacturers, its shoe offering has expanded to match. In 2026, players can choose from a host of different options ranging from the formal to the casual, from ultra-techy to more minimalist, and from the top-end performance models to a healthy range of more affordable options.

adidas's shoe offering famously extends far beyond its list of core models, and limited-edition golf versions of its most popular sneakers are a common sight in its release calendar. As such, we're focusing on the core offerings adidas has available year-round so you can find a reliable pair that's perfect for your preferred style and profile.

adidas Tour360

RRP: £160 (Spiked), £150 (Spikeless)

Best for: The ultimate in tour-proven stability and comfort

Now entering its third decade of production, the Tour360 has been updated countless times in the last 20 years to keep up with the times, but still stands strong as the benchmark by which all other performance shoes are measured, and the chosen shoe of Tour pros like Xander Schauffele.

The Tour360's DNA hasn't changed all that much over the years, centred as ever in the wrap-around frame that hugs the midfoot and provides incredible lateral stability. The upper is made from full-grain leather for endurance and classic durability, while the cushioning underneath has been more recently updated to a comfortable, dynamic Boost foam.

adidas Adizero ZG

RRP: £150

Best for: Lightweight cushioning and spikeless traction

Adizero is adidas' byword for all things lightweight and speedy, and thus the adizero ZG was born to give golfers tour-grade traction and comfort in a much more streamlined package. To do so, the Adizero ZG uses running-derived Lightstrike Pro foam in the midsole, coupled with an aggressive spikeless outsole that's the grippiest adidas offer in a non-spiked shoe. It's a formula that's resonated with players of all levels, including Tour pros like Collin Morikawa and Ludvig Åberg.

adidas CodeChaos

RRP: £120

Best for: Spikeless comfort and stability in an eye-catching profile

As worn by adidas staff players like Tyrrell Hatton, the CodeChaos is a slightly more affordable spikeless model that delivers tons of comfort and a slightly zany look. instantly recognisable for its slightly trippy PrimeKnit upper and full-length Boost cushioning, the Codechaos is all about reliable stability and comfort with a unique edge to its looks.

The CodeChaos as we know it is approaching the end of its production run, meaning you can get the last remaining pairs seriously cheap – however we've heard on the grapevine that an update may be forthcoming, so watch this space.

adidas MC70

RRP: £120 (Spiked), £110 (Spikeless)

Best for: Cushioning and stability in an affordable traditionally-styled package

Styled after classic golf shoes while cleverly working in some of Adidas's most advanced technology, the MC80 became a bit of a cult classic when it dropped back in 2024. Now its more affordable sibling is here in the form of the MC70, which despite being slightly cheaper still effectively harnesses the 'classic look, modern performance' mentality that made the MC80 so popular.

The MC70 retains the MC80's full-grain leather upper, offering a choice of spiked (£120) or spikeless (£110) traction platforms, the latter of which is made from cast polyurethane for added traction, stability and durability, and comes with the option of a BOA lacing system.

The full-length Boost midsole found on the MC80 makes way for a more responsive LightStrike foam, capped off with a Boost insert in the heel for a pop of added comfort. Both are equipped with adidas's much-used Torsion bar in the mid foot, which reduces lateral twisting to enhance stability while walking and swinging.

adidas Adipower

RRP: £120 (Spiked), £110 (Spikeless)

Best for: Affordable stability and durability

adidas's flagship release to start the 2026 season, the Adipower revives a name that's been dormant for almost a decade while re-affirming adidas's commitment to providing shoes that deliver true top-end performance without an elevated price tag.

Designed to help provide high-end stability for less, the Adipower has an athletic silhouette, a full-grain leather upper and, sees the debut of adidas's Repetitor foam in its midsole, which is more stable and structured than Lightstrike or Boost while still providing a decent level of energy return under foot. An added Power Plane TPU plate connected to the traction platform helps stabilise the golfer and enhance ground force throughout the swing.

adidas R2C

RRP: £100

Best for: Affordable spiked traction with lightweight cushioning and versatile looks

Sitting somewhere between adidas's more performance-driven shoes and their more casual range, the R2C (we're told stands for 'Ready to Course') is the brand's go-to for players who want the grip of a spiked shoe without sacrificing looks or lightweight versatility.

The R2C is grounded in a lightweight, poppy Lightstrike midsole, with a durable synthetic upper and a sneaker-inspired silhouette that pairs well with any kind of outfit. The waterproof design, capped off with water-resistant laces, also makes them super practical for the price.

adidas S2G

RRP: £100

Best for: Spikeless grip and modern cushioning with off-course wearability

Debuted back in 2024 as a sneaker-style shoe that packed in a ton of performance yet drifted well under the £100 price point, the S2G instantly became one of adidas's most popular golf models. Two years on, the S2G 26 refines this package even further while adding more nods to the brand's unrivalled sneaker heritage.

Underfoot, the S2G delivers the steady traction and comfort that the 2024 edition was so well-received for, while lightening the entire package and adding even more comfort. A Cloudfoam+ midsole replaces the S2G 24's Lightstrike foam in the 2026 version, providing a softer sensation for the wearer for longer-lasting comfort.

adidas Retrocross

RRP: £85

Best for: Classic tennis shoe styling with hidden cushioning and spikeless grip

The Retrocross was adidas' answer to sneaker-inspired golf shoes before the category blew up, channelling the brand's heritage of making timeless tennis shoes into a golf-ready package. The latest Retrocross has more modern technology than ever under its casual-inspired outer, with a comfortable Lightstrike midsole to carry you through casual rounds and a clubhouse-friendly spikeless Traxion outsole.

adidas Originals Golf

RRP: £100

Best for: Classic sneaker styling with golf-ready engineering

adidas took its penchant for making limited-edition golf sneakers mainstream back in 2025, unveiling the Originals golf line and, with it, a suite of new golf shoes built on the DNA of the brand's most iconic trainers. The Gazelle, Samba, ZX9000 and Campus skate shoes have all had golf-inspired makeovers as a result, with more on the way in a range of colourful motifs inspired by the flamboyant golf fashion of decades past.
