NEW GEAR TO LEVEL UP YOUR GOLF THIS FALL
UPGRADES:
ADIDAS // CODECHAOS 27
If you love walking the course but dread tired feet, adidas Golf’ s CodeChaos 27 shoes come to the rescue with redefined spikeless performance. Built for comfort and stability, the outsole was completely overhauled with topnotch traction. Meanwhile, the brand-new AXISLOCK technology cradles your heel, giving you tour-level balance during your swing. Wrap that all up in a waterproof, dual-layer upper and a full-length Boost midsole, and you’ ll have all-day energy from the first tee to the 18th green. $ 200 / BOA, $ 150 / laced; adidas. com / us / golf
VESSEL // PLAYER V
VESSEL’ s Player V includes the brand’ s patented technologies— such as an equilibrium double strap and a rotator base— for balance and stability, while a high strap attachment eliminates club fallout. From the hidden valuables pocket to the beverage compartments, each pocket was designed to improve organization, accessibility, and on-course convenience. With a 6-way or 14-way top with full-length dividers, it weighs under 7 pounds and features highgrade synthetic leather, antimicrobial lining, and water-resistant zippers. $ 439; vesselgolf. com
ALMA MATER // BETA LONGWING
Alma Mater’ s new Beta Longwing is built with three-piece engineering inspired by the world of running. A proprietary nitrogen-infused foam midsole offers comfort and energy return. On the spikeless sole, unique traction patterns grab and release the turf to optimize rotational traction. Meanwhile, a structural sidewall and a three-layer heel cup maximize power transfer and lock down your foot.
Featuring full-grain waterproof leather and moisture-wicking calfskin, there’ s no need to pick between comfort and performance. $ 288; almamaterfootwear. com
