Adidas Code Chaos 25 golf shoes

For golfers who want high-performance, traditional-looking golf shoes, Adidas has offered the Tour360 for years. It has been updated numerous times to add more cushioning, stability, traction and comfort, but it still looks like a traditional golf shoe.

In 2020, Adidas debuted something different for golfers who want a sportier, fresh look without sacrificing performance: the original Code Chaos. Made using multi-layer mesh, the shoe was breathable, light and waterproof.

Code Chaos has been updated, and special versions have dropped, but Adidas is now set to release Code Chaos 25.

Who is the Adidas Code Chaos 25 golf shoe for?

Like previous generations, the new Code Chaos is designed for people who want a golf shoe that offers higher performance than casual spikeless golf shoes but is more youthful and versatile than a traditional spiked shoe.

What should I know about the Adidas Code Chaos 25 golf shoes?

The biggest goal for Adidas with the Code Chaos 25 was to increase traction and stability without sacrificing comfort.

While Code Chaos remains a spikeless shoe, Adidas achieved that by adding a piece to the outsole (the shoe’s bottom) that it refers to as a 3D Torsion Plate. This rigid area between the forefoot and heel areas reduces bending in the midfoot area and heel slipping as you swing.

In addition to the 3D Torsion Plate, Adidas updated the positioning and side of the TwistGrip lugs on the outsole so more of their surface area comes into contact with the ground. According to Adidas, they increase traction by up to 40 percent over the previous Code Chaos.

Adidas created a hybrid midsole piece by combining its Boost and Lightstrike materials so the Code Chaos can provide more cushioning and comfort as you walk the course. The top of the upper (top portion) of Code Chaos is made using a flexible, multi-layer knit material. It has a transparent polyurethane film that makes the shoes waterproof while also creating a see-through look at the mesh and upper. 

There is a traditional lace-up version of Code Chaos 25 for both men and women, but Adidas is very excited about a BOA version. After putting your foot in the shoe, a zip-up piece covers the tongue to encase your foot fully. Then, by turning a small dial on the side of the shoe, golfers can gently tighten a wire system to achieve a personalized fit. The system is called BOA PerformFit Wrap, and it is meant to give players a ‘locked-in’ feel on the course.

When you are done playing, pulling the dial out instantly releases the wires and relaxes the shoes.

How much do Adidas Code Chaos 25 golf shoes cost?

The men’s laced version of Adidas Code Chaos 25 will cost $160, and the BOA version will cost $180. The laced women’s Code Chaos 25 will be $160 and the women’s BOA edition will cost $180.

When will the Adidas Code Chaos 25 golf shoes be available?

You can expect to start seeing Adidas Code Chaos 25 on store shelves beginning August 1.
