Adidas has reinvented the classic MC80, which was one of golf’s most popular shoes in the 1980’s.
The new MC80 is a spikeless silhouette that combines Lightstrike and Boost technology for added comfort and stability. The shoe features a leather upper with brogue stitch detail and croc texturing throughout.
The outsole features a Torsion bar to provide golfers with additional torsion control. Adidas included a technical spikeless TPU outsole for added traction with a rubber welt in the midsole to help round out the look.
Adidas’ goal with this shoe was to maintain the retro silhouette without the heaviness and clunky weight of the past design. The new MC80 is lightweight and comes with a flexible upper and Insite Pu insole to help with fit, comfort and stability.

The MC80 was first introduced as part of the Adidas x Bogey Boys collection a few weeks back through a limited-edition model. The in-line colorways will feature a classic white and black, white with pops of yellow and a special white and light blue colorway that will be available in limited quantities.
“Golfers today are very much intrigued by the footwear styles from the past, but they also want a shoe that can offer modern-day performance benefits out on the course,” said Masun Denison, global director of footwear, Adidas Golf.
“The personality and style of MC80 is primarily designed to give golfers that modern classic silhouette but we were able to include so many benefits that golfers don’t see. The biggest surprise that they will discover is how comfortable these shoes are out of the box, but then they’ll notice the stability and traction to go along the rich finish in the upper. It’s a unique model that we’re excited for golfers to experience.”
The new MC80 shoes will be available at Adidas.com, the Adidas app and at select retailers worldwide beginning Tuesday, Aug. 1 in men’s and women’s sizes.
