Adidas has had itself a busy year. After launching the hero Tour360 24 shoe in February, we've seen new colorways drop for the Samba golf shoe and the classic MC80. This fall, it's readying itself to release the third generation of its impressive spikeless franchise, replacing the Codechaos 22 which launched two years ago. I've been a regular wearer of this particular shoe since launch, so was very excited to see what upgrades had been made for this latest iteration.
One of the most noticeable differences on the new Codechaos is the outsole. On the 2022 version, the outsole actually bled onto the sides of the shoe, providing a eye-catching look as well as the benefit of extra grip on the instep of the shoe. That's gone in the 2025 version, with the silhouette returning to what we might consider a more conventional looking shoe. I really liked the funky outsole design on the 2022 version and am sad to see it gone - it really stood out in amongst a mass of very similar looking golf shoes.
