Adipower 26: Power From The Ground Up

If the Ultimate365+ Short is about what’s around your waist, the new Adipower 26 is about what’s beneath your feet – and adidas is betting big on both.

Every ounce of clubhead speed, every extra yard off the tee, every committed strike on a wet Sunday morning – it all starts with the ground. Ask any coach worth their salt. Power in the golf swing isn’t generated in the arms or the shoulders. It comes from the feet up.

Which is exactly where adidas has turned its attention next.

The Adipower franchise is back for 2026, and this is no casual refresh. Bold, sporty and engineered from the outsole up, the new range introduces the brand-new REPETITOR midsole – borrowed from adidas’ running, training and tennis worlds – to deliver energy return and cushioning without losing stability. The spiked Adipower 26 features INFINITY TRAXION with a POWER PLANE plate that follows the golfer’s weight path through the swing, while the spikeless models – in lace and BOA fit – introduce SWING PLANE TRAXION for grip in every lie.

A waterproof leather upper, a TPU saddle, the three stripes in all the right places. The details are handled.

“Golfers continue to need a variety of footwear options that offer high performance,” said Masun Denison, Global Footwear Director at adidas Golf. “Adipower is that option that focuses on comfort, traction and stability – all within a budget-friendly silhouette.”

Available now across spiked, spikeless and BOA models for men and women at adidas.com, on the adidas app and at select retailers worldwide.
