WRX Spotlight: Adidas Crossknit 3.0
Product: Adidas Crossknit 3.0
Pitch: From Adidas “Get outstanding energy return on every swing with these men’s golf shoes. The spikeless outsole flexes with your foot and is durable enough for everyday play, while a lightweight and water-repellent textile upper keeps your feet dry for all 18 holes. A TPU heel counter and polyurethane welds in the forefoot give you the stability you need to go long off the tee.”
Our take on the Adidas Crossknit 3.0 shoe
The Adidas Crossknit 3.0 is for golfers that love a modern looking golf shoe. These may not be for classicists, and not targeted towards an older clientele, but they are currently very popular with the younger generation, and it’s hardly surprising considering the sleek, trainer-like style.
Not only in the looks department, but the feel of these golf shoes is also unlike the majority of other options on the market. The Crossknit 3.0 is extremely lightweight, which adds to the trainer feel, and the comfort level of the shoes is fabulous. Much of that comfort has to do with the enhanced cushioning that Adidas has provided through their boost midsole. Billed as the companies “most responsive cushioning ever,” the Crossknit 3.0 will offer you as comfortable an 18-hole walk as is possible.
Performance wise, the puremotion outsole of the shoe offers excellent flexibility which adds to the comfort of the shoe, while also delivering superb traction. Adiwear lugs, forefoot stability welds, TPU stability heel counter and a Torsion system stability bar are the technologies which Adidas has merged to create a spikeless golf shoe which rivals any other shoes turf interaction performance.
The Adiwear outsole adds to the durability of the shoe, and the breathablility, as well as the waterproof element, creates a beautiful blend of resistance and comfort.
The shoes come in five colors: Dark Blue, Core Black, Night Met and Core Black, Grey Five, and Active Green.
At $150, Adidas has created an extremely flexible and unique looking golf shoe. The Crossknit 3.0 will be popular on the course as well as off it, thanks to the spikeless nature as well as the sneaker look and feel. Fashionable, current, excellent performance-wise (turf interaction in particular), and unrivaled in the comfort department, the Crossknit 3.0 is a shoe which won’t disappoint its target market in any way.

If these are “not targeted towards an older clientele” than Adidas is missing an oppty. I’m 57 and have two pairs of the crossknit 1.0’s and I regularly play with at least a dozen others in the 55-65 age range that have at least one pair. Comfort and light-weight are attributes we older guys can appreciate even more than the young guns. It’s also been my experience the older guys are a demographic that can afford to drop $150 on multiple pairs of shoes they like without batting an eyelash.

$150 for cushioned slippers?
