Adidas unveils Gripmore technology in two new golf shoes

Golf cleat technology has been anything but revolutionary over the years. However, Adidas is setting out to revolutionize the market with the release of two all-new footwear models featuring its proprietary Gripmore technology. Adidas says this cleat design combines the performance benefits of both spiked and spikeless footwear.

One of the new models debuted in March when 2013 U.S. Open Champion Justin Rose was spotted wearing a pair of adicross gripmore at the WGC-Cadillac Championship. Rose had high praise for the shoe’s crossover performance.

“I’m always looking for footwear that provides traction without compromising comfort, style or on-course performance,” he said. “With gripmore, I have the versatility of a spikeless shoe combined with the performance of a cleated shoe. It’s the best of both styles.”

The Adicross Gripmore has a crossover appeal combining sport-styling with modern features and has a full-grain leather upper. The line consists of 43 Gripmore cleats and a total of 243 points of contact for versatility and performance.

The Pure 360 Gripmore sport (above) has a more athletic design combining comfort, protection and performance. The shoe features a waterproof mesh upper with Climaproof, 360WRAP technology and a PowerbandTM chassis for increased stability. With 23 gripmore cleats and a total of 161 contact points, the Pure 360 Gripmore provides better traction.

What makes both of these shoes innovative is the Gripmore design. Traditional spiked golf shoes need receptacles to house cleats on the sole, but Gripmore cleats are directly injected onto a lightweight mesh matting inclusive of hundreds of microspikes for even more traction and stability. Though both models have their grip as their calling card, they are the most green-friendly golf shoes adidas Golf has ever created.

Both the Adicross Gripmore and Pure 360 Gripmore Sport will be available June 1 and will retail for $150 and $130, respectively.

Hi Kevin,

I am currently working with a company that is building a new product that helps golfers improve and analyze their golf swing, taking a multi-sensor approach to the swing analyzers products on the market. We are launching this product on Kickstarter later this month. Would you like us to get in touch with you to test the product? If so, please send me your email to [email protected].

Many Thanks,

Anna Simon

Just picked up a pair of the Pure 360 Gripmore Sports today and I must say they are very comfortable, stylish and superb feel/stability. Best Sport, spikeless shoe I’ve ever owned.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
