I've been trying to find any info on new codechaos colors and came across an image from Amazon that led me to this listing that shoes some new colors from the primeblue line that look like the one from a couple posts up. 

 

Doesn't look like you can order them quite yet, but maybe soon?

Good find! They come out in a few weeks.

 

CodeChaos are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn, I might need the black and blue colorways.

I purchased a pair of the ZG21 BOA.  As someone with a tall and wide forefoot but narrow heel, I felt like the ZG21 BOAs fit very well.  I will note that this is the first pair of Adidas (golf or no golf) I've ever worn in a size 11.  I am normally a size 11.5, so I recommend looking to size at least 1/2 down.  Otherwise, these are great shoes. 

Thanks for the tip, I will try a size down or so as I found my normal sizing to fit wide; I am a 10 but the shoe felt like a 10 wide.

Interesting. Side profile reminds me of a 2000s basketball shoe haha. Would be interested in the black and blue myself as well.

The first shoe I thought of was the Adidas KB8 (known know as the Crazy 8):

 

 

If it's Kobe inspired, I ain't mad.

 

I'm liking the blue/white CW more so as well, but I think I need to see more pics.

Walked 18 Sat in the 360 and played today in a cart for 9. They are almost broken in and feel great, very cushy. I do not want a shoe that is too light, as I weigh 210 and it has to hold up. Great shoe.

[th6252]

Curious now as to what the non-prime blue CC ‘21 will look like...if they do exist.

[Tree Levino]

Went through an absolute battle trying to find shoes this season. Bought a few pairs of jordans but they were extremely stiff, roomy, and the heel cup did not keep my foot in place - blisters and discomfort. FJ Fury were a non-starter - awful heel. Returned or sold all of those. Gamed the Tour 360 XT last season and loved it with the exception of the leather heel as it blistered me to hell while breaking them in and then the backs of the shoes ripped out. 

 

I swing it pretty fast. I'm just over 100mph with 7i and pretty quick in transition so need good grip, I have flat weird feet that are prone to heel blisters, I walk 99% of my rounds so shoes must be durable, light, and comfortable plus not be ugly on my rather skinny legs (odd cross between meso and ectomorph). 

 

Enter - ZG21 shoes. Wow. The second I put them on I knew they were the winners. Went down half a size to accommodate for the generous toe box. These things are the real deal. Hopefully they are durable as I was surprised to see they only have a 1 year waterproof guarantee given the price tag. Bought all black, white/neon, and all white. These will be my gamers this season and once they go on sale I'll buy a boat load more of them. Just such a good shoe. Boost is the best feeling sole I've ever tried and these still have that yet have gotten rid of the annoying to clean outer, kept the comfort, but made them lighter as well. Grip is insane and the spikes are easy to clean because of how exposed they are. If you're on the fence - pull the trigger. 

[Shushwap]

Is Adidas ever planning to get more stock of the zg21 lol

I understand were in some odd times but this is crazy 

[platgof]

The 360 boost insole plays hot. I don't think it breathes very well at all. Walked nine today and my feet were burning up. They are very comfortable except for this. In a cart probably doesn't matter, but I like walking nine now and then.

+1.  Best combination of light weight with comfort and lateral stability in any shoe that I've ever owned.

Yeah I played the 360 XT and SL all of last season and as I said, I walk 99% of my rounds. I play around 100 rounds a year plus range time and the odd 3 or 4 hole after work quickies. My 360 were great shoes in terms of grip and comfort but I agree, they did play hot. I think it was the upper combined with the boost sole, but they did get quite warm and I think that contributed to the heel eventually ripping to pieces. I can't be mad I think I got 50+ rounds out of my main pair but they are not the same anymore let's just say that haha.

They need to change the name from Boost to Inferno.

So from an initial impression, do you think the zg21s will be more breathable than the 360s? I play in central Florida and breathability while also being somewhat waterproof is a must for the summer

If you don’t have wide feet, I’d say Nike ZIT might be better suited for that.  Although I prefer my CodeChaos overall, I got to play 3 rounds with the Nike’s in 90+ weather before ultimately deciding to return them(although 90+ in NJ isn’t the same as in FL), and I’d say the ZIT were more breathable.

[Poor Hacker]

My first ever post here, so firstly hello everyone.

 

The ZG21 seems to be at a sort of similar price point to last years Footjoy Tour X, which seemed to be a very well reviewed shoe in 2020. Different shoes and technology obviously - but has anyone tried both, and how would you say they compare?

[areksoo25]

FINALLY finished my first round yesterday.  I live in Ontario, Canada the only place on the planet where golf was banned until now.

 

Wore the ZG21 in rainy conditions.  Traction was great, but what I noticed the most was I didn't notice them at all.  Solid comfort and zero break in needed.  I was a little worried about the LightStrike in the forefoot not being as comfortable as the Boost + insole in the heal, but it was a non issue.

personally, i can't remember the exact differences in fit, but do remember the Tour X fitting a bit on the narrow side...not necessarily a narrow shoe though.  the zg21, in contrast, is a relatively wider fitting shoe.  From the little i remember of the tour x, it has a very stiff and stable feel underfoot which seems like it would lead to a solid transfer of power from the ground while the zg have a softer, more supple feel(particularly more so under the heal due to boost) but while still retaining a good amount of stability.  both solid shoes and comfy in their own ways.  just depends on the fit and feel you're going after.

Btw- here is the link to the full set of photos: https://www.amazon.com/adidas-Codechaos-Primeblue-Spikeless-Shoes/dp/B08NXBKMD8

 

I saw these IRL a month or two ago by accident when the adidas rep was bringing them by my local indy golf shop.  In my memory, they look better IRL than they do in the pictures, but I’m excited to see what a non-knit version looks like.   I also saw a more running shoe like boost shoe, and a knit spiked shoe but didn’t get names to look for early photos.  Anybody have any info of either of those?

They look sharp and I'm excited to get more Codechaos (since you can't even find last years anywhere anymore), I'm just worried about waterproof-ness. Last years Codechaos knits weren't waterproof and as much as I want to get some new Codechaos, not being waterproof is going to be a dealbreaker for me.

I've been waiting on a new code chaos, I definitely hope the non-knit version looks a bit different from these, but good to hear from you that they look better IRL. These images are....ok-ish. The current code chaos is the go to shoe for me, and that's with 2 pairs of Nike Max 1 G's in the trunk. 

[Minarets]

I do not like the look of these at all

Cheers. I'll go for comfort over very stiff as I much prefer to walk the course. Also, as I'm a sub-100mph speed, not sure I need all the Tour X added stability. The point about fit is interesting, as I have ultraboost running/walking shoes and they definitely fit quite snug around the toe. Not uncomfortable, just very very snug. Sounds like ZG21 does not need to go up a size if it's wider fitting.

No, if anything with the zg, maybe even go down a half size.  Good luck!

[eric61]

I got a pair of ZG21s. Personally think they're more comfortable than CodeChaos, but that's probably because they're a lighter material and a slightly roomier fit. I was pleasantly surprised how lightweight these are. Comfort-wise, for golf shoes, these are really good. The boost in the heel is nice, and as others have said, transitioning out of boost toward whatever the other midsole material is remains comfortable. 

 

I have wide feet. Normally wear an 11.5 in Adidas shoes, but an 11 wide would have worked just fine in these. Still glad I went with the 11.5 wide, though -- these run a little big but not quite half a size big, so it's sort of in-between on whether you size down vs. your normal Adidas size or not.

 

Only downside is, despite being relatively soft, the backs of these shoes rubbed a really nasty, bloody spot on the back of my right ankle. Unfortunately this happens with a lot of shoes for me, though (and always on my right ankle, specifically) -- it's not really the shoes' fault.

The new Dicks/Golf Galaxy catalog that came in the mail this week had the CodeChaos 2021's in it. Can't remember if it showed a price or not. But they aren't on the website
