Adidas to release Ryder Cup-inspired golf shoes
To celebrate the 41st Ryder Cup, Adidas will launch two new versions of its Tour 360 Boost golf shoes: a Team USA model and a Team Europe model.
Official known as the “Chaska” edition Tour 360 Boost (the Ryder Cup takes place at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnestota), the Team USA model ($220 MSRP) will be available in the U.S. on September 26. The Team Europe shoe is currently available in Europe.

Equipment
Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

I have to say, the boost shoes are worth every penny. The comfort is incredible! When I take mine off, my regular shoes feel hard and stiff compared to my Tour360s. I have a bad knee, but after swapping into these upon recommendation of my physio, the pain is far less.
I was a die hard FootJoy wearer all my life, but the comfort and cushioning in these will have me never wearing golf shoe without boost cushion.

Allow me to expand on what Boobsey said:
The number of golfers is NOT growing, Golfsmith is going bankrupt because they are not making enough sales, can only mean one thing, people are not buying golf equipment, specially $220 golf shoes!

Good call, but I doubt any shoe Ryder cup guys have ever worn have been made in America. Although at that ridiculous price, people might thing they were made in America. Would love to know which exec at Adidas approves this kind of stupid stuff. No American colors. Stupid pricing. Lol.

Boring shoes for Adidas. And if they are based on the Adi Zero’s at all, they will be the most uncomfortable golf shoe you’ve ever worn. The usual ridiculous price tag is just amazing. Companies still don’t get it.
