adidas' CODECHAOS 27 might be the most serious spikeless shoe of the year
Armed with even more comfort, traction and stability, the new CODECHAOS 27 is all about instilling confidence in the very best players around.
Spikeless golf shoes are rarely seen on tour, but adidas' CODECHAOS has been a rare exception over the last couple of years.
Combining some of the Three Stripes leading technologies with an athletic silhouette, the CODECHAOS has most regularly been seen on the feet of Tyrrell Hatton, who wore the CodeChaos 25 at last year's Ryder Cup, among countless other tournaments.
As such, many were wondering whether or not the model would get an update for 2026. Now, we have an answer – albeit one that was spoiled just a touch by the Lionel Messi-inspired shoes adidas released a few weeks ago to mark the start of the football World Cup.
The CODECHAOS 27 makes its official debut today, dropping in a range of colour schemes and introducing a host of new tech as well as a more modern, yet still definitively sporty, silhouette for the model. The last model's wavy midsole and textured upper has made way for a more angular design, complemented by a clean synthetic leather upper.
The headline additions to the new CODECHAOS come in the form of AXISLOCK: a dual-injected stability system that cups the the heel to provide better balance throughout the swing, and TWISTSKIN, a flexible new dual-layer upper material that has the look and feel of leather with less weight and hardier waterproofing.
Making a return to the model are the full-length Boost midsole that CODECHAOS players have come to love over the years. The TWISTGRIP spikeless traction pattern on the outsole has also been expanded significantly, with 120% more coverage for enhanced grip in tough conditions.
As with the prior model, the CODECHAOS 27 will come in both laced and laceless versions, and is available now for £120 at adidas' website and via the links below.
