Adidas launches adipure 360 footwear
In the past three years, adidas Golf has introduced a lineup of golf shoes with something for just about everyone. Sport-style shoes, spikeless shoes and some of the lightest shoes in the industry, the adizero one, have been the company’s focus.
This Spring, though, adidas Golf has released a shoe that it hopes every golf purist will love: the pure 360, its next generation of adipure footwear.
The new shoes, currently available in four different colors and carrying a $250 price tag, feature clean, classic designs combined with the company’s best technologies and materials. All that means the golfer’s foot will move the way it needs to for peak performance on the course.
While the shoes are just now hitting the consumer market, the pure 360 has been in the hands — or on the feet — of adidas Golf Tour staffers since January. Dustin Johnson wore the new pure 360’s at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions and had great things to say about them.
“Walking as much as we do out on tour definitely takes its toll,” Johnson said. “Once I started wearing the pure 360, I immediately felt the incredible comfort and felt more refreshed at the end of my round. They’re the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn.”
Designers at adidas Golf didn’t just have professional players in mind when they designed the pure 360’s. With research showing that golfers take an average of 12,000 steps during an 18-hole round, designers knew that shoes played an important role in overall performance.
The pure 360 is designed with a new tour performance last, giving additional support in the midfoot and heel, and new outsole featuring thintech technology with poured polyurethane (PU), which helps the company promote it as its most comfortable and stable shoe ever. The upper portions of the shoe are made with premium leather.
Pay attention during this weekend’s WGC-Cadillac Championship and you’ll certainly see adidas Golf Tour professionals like Johnson and Sergio Garcia sporting the adipure 360 as they work their way around the Blue Monster.

Tommy Fleetwood has been attached to his Odyssey White Hot Pro #3 putter for years now. However, this week at the Wells Fargo Championship, we did spot him testing a new putter that is very different, yet somewhat similar, to his current gamer.
This new putter is a TaylorMade Spider Tour X head but with a brand new neck we haven’t seen on a Spider before. A flow neck is attached to the Spider head and gives the putter about a 1/2 shaft offset. This style neck will usually increase the toe hang of the putter and we can guess it gets the putter close to his White Hot Pro #3.
Another interesting design is that lack of TaylorMade’s True Path alignment on the top of the putter. Instead of the large white center stripe, Tommy’s Spider just has a very short white site line milled into it. As with his Odyssey, Tommy seems to be a fan of soft inserts and this Spider prototype looks to have the TPU Pure Roll insert with 45° grooves for immediate topspin and less hopping and skidding.
The sole is interesting as well in that the rear weights don’t look to be interchangeable and are recessed deep into the ports. This setup could be used to push the CG forward in the putter for a more blade-like feel during the stroke, like TaylorMade did with the Spider X Proto Scottie Scheffler tested out.
Tommy’s putter is finished off with an older Super Stroke Mid Slim 2.0 grip in blue and white. The Mid Slim was designed to fit in between the Ultra Slim 1.0 and the Slim 3.0 that was a popular grip on tour.

With so many options at far better price points, tough sell to be over the $200 mark anymore. Don’t bother trying to tell me about it being a premium product, TMAG has economies of scale down, these likely cost under 10% to make of the asking retail price…

I’d sure like to try these this year, they sure do look like they will have some great cushion to them. Before Truelinkswear came along I wore mainly Adidas everything but the comfort of the TRUES were much better, but now looking at these I can’t wait to try these out and compare the two! Lots of great choices this year between FJ/Adidas/True/ Ecco finally there making both comfort and function that was lacking until TRUE changed the golf shoe industry.

I got 2 pairs of these shoes last month and could not be happier with them. Took them to AZ and right out of the box walked the Upper course at Whisper Rock and they felt as though I had them for a year. Walked 72 holes in 3 days and have no complaints at all. Great fit, and every bit as good, if not better, than the original AdiPure.
I do not understand the comments about the price. They are the premium shoe in the line, and I feel they are worth every penny. I have the brown color coming at the end of the month.

The comments about the price have to do with the fact that there are some really good, comfortable, shoes on the market for much less. Isn’t the DNA under $200?

I got my adipure for 350$ in 2012 so its good to see them going down in price. They are all leather so they look as new as the day i bought them. Just have to put leather conditioner on every 6 months and they will be as good as new for years. You cant beat how good they feel. I have played 2 rounds of golf and my feet still feel great. You get what you pay for when it comes to shoes!

Way too expensive!! Are they kidding with the price of shoes? And the bottoms of the shoes look like their less expensive shoes for some reason too (their other shoes look much more durable and grippy). As a big fan of the 360 ATV’s they’re probably comfortable but just too expensive.

Way too expensive… I like the design though. Comfort is important to me and the adizero line was just too thin all the way around and squished my feet too much. Love my FJ Sport BOAs. I’d rather have 2 pairs of those than 1 pair of these

this is just one of their options. It just so happens to be a premium product of theirs. They offer more affordable options as well.
