Adidas has mixed today’s technology with the classic design of golf footwear and developed the MC87 4D.
This shoe is sure to turn heads with a futuristic 4D midsole and a classic upper. It is a gender-neutral, spikeless shoe that was inspired by the 1987 shoe, the Tiverton.
The Tiverton had similar wing tip styling, brogue stitch detail and croc texturing all in a classic leather. Today, the MC87 4D has combined those traditional designs with a more modern water-resistant upper.
The 4D midsole is printed with light and oxygen using Digital Light Synthesis and is the first of its kind. With the Ryder Cup quickly approaching, they have included a special cobblestone sock liner as an ode to the streets of Rome.
“Over the last 18 months we’ve noticed golfers wanting more vintage designs, and we’re in a unique position where our archives provide some amazing product inspiration as we continue our mission to be the most progressive golf brand in the world,” said Masun Denison, global footwear director, Adidas Golf. “We challenged ourselves to combine the timeless aesthetics from the past with the technology of today, and MC87 4D was the perfect result. It’s a very special silhouette, a first for us in golf using the 4D technology, and it will be one that golfers everywhere will be excited about.”
Adidas has engineered this shoe with energy return in mind with its intricate lattice structure. To round out the 4D midsole, the shoe features a rubber spikeless outsole with lugs to provide additional traction and grip for when golfers head to the course. The MC87 4D will also come with a removable kiltie.
