Adidas launches limited-edition Stan Smith golf shoe to celebrate Zozo Championship

Published

on

Adidas has partnered with Zozo for its latest limited-edition Stan Smith golf shoe.

The limited-edition footwear was designed in celebration of the tournament’s return to Japan following a one-year absence where the tournament was played in the United States in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Inscribed on the heel of the limited-edition footwear is this philosophy – “Be unique. Be equal.” and the shoes feature an all-black upper (the result when all colors are mixed) and eye-catching multi-colored outsole (representative of the uniqueness of all individuals).

“We are honored to celebrate the return of the Zozo Championship to Japan with this truly special collaboration with the tournament host. In the process of our collaboration with ZOZO, their company philosophy of “Be unique. Be equal.” really spoke to our team and resonated with us as brand. We wanted to somehow capture this bold declaration within a special design, so we’re extremely proud with how the finished product came together, especially since it’s on one of our most iconic silhouettes.” – Masun Denison, global director of footwear, Adidas Golf

This edition is the fourth Stan Smith golf shoe model Adidas has introduced this year and features an upper made in part with recycled materials, all part of the brand’s mission to help End Plastic Waste.

In addition, the shoe contains an adiwear rubber spikeless outsole with traction inspired by the shoe’s original sole design and includes a die-cut PU sockliner and additional PU cushioning in the midsole to provide golf-specific support in every step.

This Stan Smith Zozo golf shoe is also waterproof (one-year warranty) and comes with a limited-edition commemorative shoe bag inspired by the shoe’s design.

The shoe will be available in limited quantities on adidas.com, the Adidas app, and at select retail partners worldwide beginning Friday, October 15, with availability in Japan beginning October 18.

    Just needs some velcro straps to complete the old man look these shoes have.

Spotted: Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Ti 340 mini driver, DUW fairway wood

Published

on

We have seen a few new mini drivers from the likes of Titleist and TaylorMade being tested out on tour recently. Now, Callaway looks to be jumping into the mix at the RBC Heritage. We spotted Christian Bezuidenhout testing out a new Paradym Ai Smoke Ti 340 mini driver on the range. We don’t have any details yet but the club clearly states “mini driver” on it, and the “340” could easily refer to how many CCs the head is.

What we do know is that this mini driver has a very similar design to the current Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond 3-wood. The sole looks to be made from steel or titanium, not forged carbon like the Paradym Ai Smoke drivers. It has weights up near the face and at the back of the club. Callaway’s OptiFit hosel is also present on this driver to allow loft and lie adjustments, and if you look closely on the face, you can make out the “Ai Smart Face” text at bottom center. The crown looks to have the familiar carbon fiber weave and Ai Smoke logos we have seen on the current clubs.

Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke DUW

The other Callaway prototype that was spotted looked to be a little more of a traditional fairway wood — but with non-traditional weight placements on it. Callaway’s Paradym Ai Smoke DUW looks to have four adjustable weights on it — two on the sole, one on the hosel, and one on the toe. This hosel isn’t adjustable, and I would assume that is to save some weight from creating spots for the movable weights.

It is hard to tell from the photos, but the face looks to be a touch deeper than the traditional Triple Diamond fairways. This deeper face could be where the “DUW” name comes from. With three weights all pushed forward near the face this DUW has to be a very low spinning and launching head. The sole is made from metal and similar in design to the current Paradym Ai Smoke Triple Diamond fairway woods as is the carbon crown.
