Adidas Looks For the Gold

This week we noted that Adidas had introduced a pair of lightweight golf shoes that seem based on its line of running shoes. But the company also apparently is looking for gold of sorts with shoes that will be worn by athletes competing at the Olympics – however it won’t be until the summer games in 2016.

Golf hasn’t been an official Olympic sport since the 1904 games in St. Louis. In the meantime Adidas has introduced the new Tour360 ATV golf shoes, which will be worn by athletes competing at this year’s Open Championship at Royal Lytham & St Anne.

And this didn’t stop Adidas Golf from celebrating the return to the Olympics in the video below. Video after the jump

Adidas Ready to Tee Off With Golf Shoes

Adidas looks to go down the same path as Nike and it ends on the golf course. The shoe maker, known for lightweight and comfortable running shoes, has introduced a line of lightweight and comfortable golf shoes.

The Adidas Golf Crossflex take ultra light running shoes, added some waterproofing – while still allowing the shoes to breathe – and outfitted it with 96 “strategically-placed triangular traction lugs.” The result is a shoe that will be good on the course, offering plenty of traction along with comfort – and at a very good price.
