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.
Not only has the presence of the outsole changed, but the lugs that make it up have been altered too. The lugs have been placed over a greater surface area than on the previous iteration of the shoe, and you can really feel it at work on the golf course. I’d only class a handful of spikeless shoes as ‘all year round’ shoes and the Codechaos 25 certainly fits that bracket. The outsole is superb in all ground conditions, and really gives you the sort of confidence you often only get wearing a spiked golf shoe. Only the Under Armour Drive Pro SL and FootJoy Pro/SLX can compete with the all year round wearability of the Codechaos 25 outsole. Adidas are certainly shouting about its redesigned outsole too. I really like the neon green and pink accents that cover the outsole – I think it adds a touch of flare and pizzazz that we’ve come to expect from a shoe with the word chaos literally in the name.

Adding to the versatility in all conditions, the upper – which is comprised of a multi layer knit material – is fully waterproof and cleans really easily. This is thanks to the transparent PU film that covers the upper, which also offers a window into the unique patterns that covers the top of the knit. Regardless of which of the current two colorways you choose – white/green or black/white – I expect these will be able to kept looking fresh regardless of which conditions you most regularly play in.
