Adidas launches adipure 360 footwear
In the past three years, adidas Golf has introduced a lineup of golf shoes with something for just about everyone. Sport-style shoes, spikeless shoes and some of the lightest shoes in the industry, the adizero one, have been the company’s focus.
This Spring, though, adidas Golf has released a shoe that it hopes every golf purist will love: the pure 360, its next generation of adipure footwear.
The new shoes, currently available in four different colors and carrying a $250 price tag, feature clean, classic designs combined with the company’s best technologies and materials. All that means the golfer’s foot will move the way it needs to for peak performance on the course.
While the shoes are just now hitting the consumer market, the pure 360 has been in the hands — or on the feet — of adidas Golf Tour staffers since January. Dustin Johnson wore the new pure 360’s at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions and had great things to say about them.
“Walking as much as we do out on tour definitely takes its toll,” Johnson said. “Once I started wearing the pure 360, I immediately felt the incredible comfort and felt more refreshed at the end of my round. They’re the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn.”
Designers at adidas Golf didn’t just have professional players in mind when they designed the pure 360’s. With research showing that golfers take an average of 12,000 steps during an 18-hole round, designers knew that shoes played an important role in overall performance.
The pure 360 is designed with a new tour performance last, giving additional support in the midfoot and heel, and new outsole featuring thintech technology with poured polyurethane (PU), which helps the company promote it as its most comfortable and stable shoe ever. The upper portions of the shoe are made with premium leather.
Pay attention during this weekend’s WGC-Cadillac Championship and you’ll certainly see adidas Golf Tour professionals like Johnson and Sergio Garcia sporting the adipure 360 as they work their way around the Blue Monster.

What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.
Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

With so many options at far better price points, tough sell to be over the $200 mark anymore. Don’t bother trying to tell me about it being a premium product, TMAG has economies of scale down, these likely cost under 10% to make of the asking retail price…

I’d sure like to try these this year, they sure do look like they will have some great cushion to them. Before Truelinkswear came along I wore mainly Adidas everything but the comfort of the TRUES were much better, but now looking at these I can’t wait to try these out and compare the two! Lots of great choices this year between FJ/Adidas/True/ Ecco finally there making both comfort and function that was lacking until TRUE changed the golf shoe industry.

I got 2 pairs of these shoes last month and could not be happier with them. Took them to AZ and right out of the box walked the Upper course at Whisper Rock and they felt as though I had them for a year. Walked 72 holes in 3 days and have no complaints at all. Great fit, and every bit as good, if not better, than the original AdiPure.
I do not understand the comments about the price. They are the premium shoe in the line, and I feel they are worth every penny. I have the brown color coming at the end of the month.

The comments about the price have to do with the fact that there are some really good, comfortable, shoes on the market for much less. Isn’t the DNA under $200?

I got my adipure for 350$ in 2012 so its good to see them going down in price. They are all leather so they look as new as the day i bought them. Just have to put leather conditioner on every 6 months and they will be as good as new for years. You cant beat how good they feel. I have played 2 rounds of golf and my feet still feel great. You get what you pay for when it comes to shoes!

$250?!! Are you friggen kidding me?

Way too expensive!! Are they kidding with the price of shoes? And the bottoms of the shoes look like their less expensive shoes for some reason too (their other shoes look much more durable and grippy). As a big fan of the 360 ATV’s they’re probably comfortable but just too expensive.

Way too expensive… I like the design though. Comfort is important to me and the adizero line was just too thin all the way around and squished my feet too much. Love my FJ Sport BOAs. I’d rather have 2 pairs of those than 1 pair of these
