adidas announce limited edition Ryder Cup footwear

adidas Golf, a leader in performance footwear, has announced a limited-edition footwear collection inspired by the 2014 Ryder Cup in Gleneagles.

By combining design elements with visual cues representative of each team’s distinct colours, adidas Golf has created limited-edition pieces that accurately represent each team as they participate in the world’s greatest match play competition. The full collection includes two unique designs (one representative of each team) for three of adidas Golf’s shoes in 2014: adizero one, pure 360 and adicross gripmore.

“The Ryder Cup is one of the greatest sporting events in the world and we are excited to have a great representation of five staff players playing and one serving as captain,” said Masun Denison, Director of Global Footwear Product Marketing at adidas Golf. “We realised this was a great opportunity for us to take our highest performing footwear models and offer unique and exciting colours that not only represent each team but truly embody what this electrifying event is all about.”
