Germany's Adidas launches high-performance laceless golf shoe

New for the fall/winter 2023 range, Codechaos Laceless boldly tackles spikeless performance through a clean and functional filmed textile upper. As part of the design, adidas incorporated Primeknit materials in key zones around the instep and ankle to make it easier to take on and off, while still providing support. The laceless filmed textile upper is specifically designed to provide an adaptable, glove-like, high performance fit with a customised feel, Adidas said in a press release.

As part of the laceless upper design, Adidas engineered two pull tabs on the front and back opening. This collar area in the instep features Primeknit material that enables easy-on, easy-off wear without compromising on performance. The upper is also stain resistant and fully waterproof.

A number of features earlier found in Codechaos footwear will continue to be incorporated as part of this new Codechaos Laceless model. The Twistgrip outsole with lug configurations built based on data from heat-map studies helps in distributing weight throughout the swing. The 3D external heel counter provides additional support around the heel. The INSITE insole offers added support in the heel, lateral, and medial sections of the foot to provide golfers with both comfort and performance. Full-length Boost cushioning gives energy return and additional comfort.

“Codechaos is our spikeless footwear franchise where we can push the limits on innovation and design while still being very technical,” said Masun Denison, global footwear director, Adidas Golf. “Having seen what other categories in our brand were able to achieve with laceless technology, we knew we wanted to bring this to golf, and our Codechaos model was a perfect place to do it. I have no doubt that golfers will be pleasantly surprised with the performance they get out of this shoe.”
