adidas ZG23 Golf Shoe Overview
Technology
The adidas ZG23 golf shoes are incredibly lightweight. They weigh in at just 13 oz. per shoe. That does not mean adidas sacrificed technology in this design. They just had to get innovative. adidas used their new Lightstrike cushioning which is 40% lighter than traditional EVA materials. Lightstrike is lightweight and responsive, absorbing shock and recovering quickly to cushion every step.
Four layers of polyurethane material combine to create the Sprintskin uppers of the ZG21 golf shoes. The polyurethane in the upper is created using recycled material. Seeking to end plastic waste, 20% of the pieces used in the upper are made with a minimum of 50% recycled content. This material is lightweight and waterproof. They are suitable for wear in any weather and come with a one-year waterproof warranty.
Finally, adidas paired all this lightweight comfort and cushioning with the performance of a spiked golf shoe. The Thintech TPU outsole is sturdy and durable. It features 6 replaceable PINS spikes that provide traction on all types of terrain. Inside the shoe is an INSITE sock liner that provides greater fit and balance. It is also removable.
Now adidas offers a new cool and comfortable option with the ZG23 Vent golf shoes. These shoes are designed with a featherweight construction and breathable mesh uppers, ensuring your feet stay cool and comfortable even on the hottest days. The vented design not only allows air to flow freely, keeping your feet cool, but it’s also crafted, in part, with recycled materials, making them an eco-friendly choice. With an engineered stability wing that cradles your foot, you’ll experience increased lateral stability, perfect for powerful swings. The lightweight midsole features Lightstrike cushioning, providing responsive energy with every stride, so you can maintain your momentum throughout the game. Thanks to the INSITE® sockliner, you’ll enjoy extra support and comfort, while keeping your feet dry and feeling fresh. The synthetic outsole with a data-informed traction pattern and 6-cleat design delivers outstanding traction on any terrain. Plus, the traditional lace-up design ensures a secure fit every time.
Appearance
adidas ZG23 golf shoes combine the signature athletic style of adidas with classic golf shoe features. The 3-Stripes branding makes an appearance on the side of the sleek uppers. You also notice the foam running through the midsole that provides the energy return and lightweight cushioning you need. The outside of the shoe also has a Stability Fin in the midsole that is visible. This feature increases lateral stability while helping keep the shoe lighter in weight.
Fit & Feel
The fit and feel of the adidas ZG23 golf shoes are best described as lightweight and responsive. They don’t weigh your feet down and you can feel the foam cushioning your feet with each step. adidas has perfected the use of the foams in the midsole with spiked outsoles to give you the lightweight comfort of a spikeless shoe and the traction of a spiked model. These shoes run true to size, but for golfers who want an even more exact fit, the ZG23 shoes are available with the Boa Closure System so you can dial in your preferred fit and never have to adjust it.
