Equipped with all technologies, try out the amazing grip and cushioning properties.
Personally, in the past, my only choice was Footjoy, but lately I can feel a great sense of friendly competition, as if Adidas has come so far in pursuit. That’s why I try my hand at both brands every time a new product comes out, but this time’s Adidas caught my attention from its appearance. It seems to incorporate the best features of the and series, and its tour-level functionality has been proven as it is also used by the likes of Collin Morikawa and Nasa Hataoka.
So, we asked professional coach Takumi Yoshimoto, who has never worn Adidas golf shoes, to play in the Tour 360 24 Boa. He said, “I was surprised by how wonderful the fit was, which made me realize how much I hate wearing them, and how much I hate wearing them.The shoes are soft and feel like they wrap around your feet, but they don’t have much torque (twisting).They keep your feet stable, so they’re perfect for shots. You’ll definitely feel the improvement in accuracy. It will satisfy any golfer, regardless of their level,” Yoshimoto praised. The combination of the “BOA® Fit System” and the “Zipper” provides a high level of hold that is indescribable.
“It gives the impression that all kinds of technology is included, including amazing grip and cushioning properties.I also like the green accents.” (Yoshimoto)
The Tour 360 24 Boa combines an unparalleled modern design with a new dimension of functionality, making it a reliable product.
Tips-01: Even power hitters can hit stable shots without shaking
It is also used by tour professionals, and its stability is guaranteed. “Even when you swing with all your might, your footing stays firmly in place, so you don’t slip and can transmit power.”
Tips-02: Respond to various lies like suspension
A special part that connects two types of cushioning: a hard material for the upper part and a soft material for the lower part, and simultaneously improves outstanding grip, walking performance, and stability.
Adopting ultra-lightweight, high-resilience material, it is approximately 10 grams lighter than the previous model.The shoes are soft and lightweight, allowing you to move comfortably when walking or swinging.
The midfoot is equipped with a bridge-like “Torsion Bridge” and the heel is equipped with “JETBOOST.” “It has excellent stability against lies and cushioning that prevents fatigue.”
Tips-03: Waterproof zippers improve the comfort of your feet
Straight foot BOA®︎ wrap, which is also used in the “Code Chaos” series.The wire inside the shoe works to provide an overwhelming fit.
Leave the zipper open when walking for more comfort.By closing the zipper when swinging, in combination with the straight foot wrap, it controls expansion and lateral vibration on the instep.
In addition to the wrap structure with the BOA® Fit System, it can also be adjusted by opening and closing the zipper. “When you close the zipper, it becomes more integrated with your foot and provides a better fit.”
Tips-04: High grip provided by well-thought cleat (spike) placement
Hard material is used around the midfoot bridge to suppress torque (torsion).
The cleat position is designed to bite into the grass up to the tip of the toe. “Although it has a solid grip, it doesn’t feel like it’s pushing up, so you can play comfortably.”
