New TOUR360 BOOST footwear from adidas golf

Adidas Golf has announced the release of the new TOUR360 BOOST, the next generation in the popular TOUR360 franchise. Building on 10 years of innovation, TOUR360 BOOST incorporates the latest footwear technologies, including full-length BOOST cushioning, an improved 360WRAP, and a dual-density 10-cleat puremotion TPU outsole.

First introduced in 2005, the original TOUR360 revolutionised golf footwear with never before seen performance and style. Named after its iconic 360WRAP, a midfoot support system that entirely surrounds the foot for exceptional stability, TOUR360 footwear has recorded 38 PGA TOUR victories and since its inception has sold more than 2 million pairs of various models from the franchise around the world.

“TOUR360 broke ground when it hit the market in 2005,” said Masun Denison, director of footwear at adidas Golf. “Our challenge in creating the next generation was living up to the TOUR360 name. We took everything we’ve learned in the last 10 years including visual cues from prior models while utilising materials and construction innovation to take the TOUR360 BOOST to the next level. It’s a culmination of years of technology, testing, insights and athlete feedback.”

TOUR360 BOOST features full-length BOOST cushioning in the forefoot and heel for maximum comfort and a re-engineered, lighter and more flexible 360WRAP saddle to allow for greater adjustability and adaptability. For the first time, the 360WRAP combines with a full-length outsole, made possible by a new TORSION TUNNEL technology that provides independent flexibility and control between the heel and the forefoot.

An advanced dual-density 10-cleat outsole features a harder perimeter TPU to house strategically-placed CenTraXion and thintech cleats and enhance lateral stability; while a softer thinner interior TPU allows for BOOST expansion and comfort. The new heel shape inspired by adidas training and running categories, features an s-curve which follows and adapts to the natural contour of the foot for improved fit, while ETC lining material reduces friction, moisture and heat – delivering the optimal shoe climate. The upper is made of premium leather and features climaproof technology for a rich look, a soft and comfortable feel, and lasting protection and durability.

“I’ve always been a fan of the TOUR360 footwear,” said Dustin Johnson, PGA TOUR professional, adidas Golf brand ambassador and #8 in the current Official World Golf Ranking. “I have great memories wearing them during key wins throughout my career, and I can’t wait to get them back on my feet and wear the TOUR360 BOOST next season.”

In February, the TOUR360 Boa BOOST will become available and will feature our most advanced use of a BOA Closure System, an incremental pull and push structure located on the top centre tongue. The BOA–integrated 360LOOP connected to the 360WRAP enables fast and easy micro-adjustability for a customisable and comfortable fit.

Available 8th January, 2016, the TOUR360 BOOST will be offered in six colourways at an RRP of £129.99. TOUR360 Boa BOOST, will be available 1st February, 2016 in two colourways at an RRP of £159.99.
