Past Meets Future with Adidas Limited Edition MC87 4D Golf Shoes

Technology and the aesthetics of golf footwear have evolved considerably since 1987, but there are some things that will simply remain timeless. Today, adidas is introducing the MC87 4D, a limited-edition spikeless golf footwear model that combines an upper inspired by the clean and classic looks from the adidas archives with the brand’s futuristic 4D midsole. The footwear is built on a gender-neutral last and will be available in a wide range of men’s and women’s sizing beginning September 21 on adidas.com, the adidas app, and at select retailers.

Similar to the popular MC80 footwear that was recently announced, adidas’ MC87 4D is inspired by the classic styles from the 80s that are seeing a resurgence with golfers today. Specifically, the upper for MC87 4D draws inspiration from a model the brand first introduced in 1987 – the Tiverton – which featured wing tip styling, brogue stitch detail, and croc texturing all in a classic leather upper. MC87 4D builds off that original design to feature today’s premium, water-resistant leather upper, giving golfers the same classic look but with additional comfort. To push this design further, adidas included the adidas 4D midsole, the world’s first high-performance midsole crafted with light and oxygen. This is the first time the brand has featured the 4D midsole in a golf shoe. With one of golf’s signature team events happening in Rome next week, adidas included a special cobblestone sockliner as an ode to the streets of the city where sport has been played for thousands of years.
