Every year, new footwear for golf are released.
Apart from giving more grip and foot stability, today's shoes feature advanced technology that helps golfers swing better.
Recently, adidas Golf introduced
the Forgefiber BOA® which utilizes adidas’ FORGEFIBER technology for the first
time in golf footwear; providing extra stability in strategically targeted
areas of the upper through an advanced stitching construction. The new footwear
comes in both men’s (three colorways) and women’s (two colorways) styles.
FORGEFIBER is a technology utilizing
TPU-coated yarn that when stitched at various angles and layers, it helps
improve overall stability. Beyond just the distinctive stitching process, the
TPU yarns are also compressed and heated, which melt the yarns into the textile
upper of the shoe creating more natural support.
adidas Golf tested the
locations of the shoe where golfers would need the most stability and infused
the FORGEFIBER stitching in those areas specifically with the new Forgefiber
BOA. The outcome of that process created a stronger textile material that gives
increased support. Not only that, since there’s no need to add any additional
materials, it helps keep the shoe lightweight, something golfers can appreciate
during and after every round. This stitching patterns also produce a unique
aesthetic; as the FORGEFIBER stylized lockstitch closure adds an advanced
texture, disruptive stance and ability to bring in distinct color pops.
“We’ve had our eye on the FORGEFIBER
technology ever since it appeared in other categories,” said Masun Denison,
global footwear director, adidas Golf. “We knew it would be a game-changer for
golfers because the stability it provides is exactly what players need while also
keeping the shoe lightweight and comfortable throughout the entire round.”
The Forgefiber BOA has a spikeless outsole
made up of the X-Traxion system, the same that was recently announced in the
TOUR360 XT-SL. The X-shaped lugs provide multi-directional stability for
whatever lie one may encounter. It features full-length BOOST, the best
cushioning in the game, along with an INSITE® sockliner that offers ultimate
comfort and added stability. The heel and forefoot are connected through the
Torsion X stability bar so that players can have that locked-in feel for every
shot.
The new footwear also incorporates the TX4
Boa Fit System that features a soft, textile lace, which goes perfectly with
the textile upper. Then there’s the FormTX lace guides which are engineered to
be softer, more comfortable and adaptive, further advancing customized comfort
for every golfer. Players can now have a customizable fit for every round.
Both men’s (RM999) and women’s (RM899) footwear
include a one-year waterproof warranty and will be available beginning April at
adidas.com.my and all authorized retailers.
