adidas, a name synonymous with the intersection of style and sports, is once again proving its prowess with the introduction of the MC87 4D. This limited-edition golf shoe gracefully marries the brand’s heritage aesthetics with cutting-edge advancements, bringing forth a product that both respects its roots and leans into the future.
The MC87 4D is a testament to adidas’ ability to recognize the pulse of its consumers. Over recent times, there’s been a palpable shift towards vintage designs in the golfing community. This is clearly echoed in the MC87 4D’s design, which taps into the storied past of adidas, channeling vibes from the 80s, an era often referred to as a golden age for many cultural and fashion movements.
For those well-versed with adidas’ rich archive, the MC87 4D might evoke memories of the Tiverton – a groundbreaking model released in 1987. The Tiverton was renowned for its wingtip styling, brogue stitch detailing, and the distinct croc texture, all presented in a pristine leather upper. The MC87 4D revives this classic silhouette but enhances it with today’s water-resistant leather offerings. This not only ensures the preservation of the vintage charm but promises a level of comfort tailored for today’s golfer.
What makes the MC87 4D truly shine is the inclusion of adidas’ state-of-the-art 4D midsole. Until now, this revolutionary technology, which employs light and oxygen to create a high-performance midsole, hadn’t graced the greens of a golf course. The innovative design of the 4D midsole is the product of copious athlete data, culminating in a lattice structure that can absorb pressure from various angles and redirect it, energizing the foot. Its design may scream future, but its functionality is rooted in real-world benefits, offering unprecedented support to golfers.

A nod to Rome’s illustrious sporting history was also embedded in the MC87 4D. With the city hosting a significant golf event, adidas paid homage with a special cobblestone sockliner, reminiscent of Rome‘s age-old streets, reiterating the brand’s attention to detail and reverence for history.
Masun Denison, the global footwear director at adidas Golf, captured the essence of the MC87 4D when he remarked, “Our archives are a goldmine of inspiration, and as we strive to be pioneers in golf apparel, the MC87 4D stands as a testament to our commitment. Marrying vintage aesthetics with today’s technology was a challenge, but the result speaks for itself.”
For those wondering about its practical applications on the golf course, the MC87 4D doesn’t disappoint. Its rubber spikeless outsole, accompanied by strategically placed lugs, promises traction and grip, ensuring golfers can tread confidently. And for enthusiasts seeking that extra touch of class, the shoe also comes with an optional kiltie.
The limited-edition footwear is available on adidas.com, the adidas app and at select retailers.
