2) adiprene+ is a highly resilient material that manages energy for improved response in the footbed. This technology's fast reactive response provides immediate feedback to promote improved footwork for better weight transfer and balance. The harder the player pushes it, the harder it pushes back.

3) GRIPZONE – The GRIPZONE is an integrated footbed surface that locks the plantar surface of the foot firmly in place, creating a single, solid unit between the foot and shoe, promoting maximum control during the swing.

The POWERBAND's traction system is further enhanced by a proprietary cleat, specially designed by adidas Golf called Dynamic Traxion AC.

The cleats have polished surfaces that diminish clogging and improve grip throughout the round. The DTAC cleats are low profile and a turf friendly shape that eliminate spike marks. The legs of the cleats are flexible, improving grip, comfort, and durability.

These cleats will be installed in every golf shoe that adidas produces from 2007 and forward. "We worked closely with Jim Flick on the concept for this golf shoe in an effort to provide a performance advantage for the modern athlete in today's new powergame," says Dave Ortley, director of global footwear for adidas Golf.

Initially, the POWERBAND will be available in four color combinations starting in March 2007: running white/metallic silver/black; running white/titan metallic/black; running white/power red/metallic silver; black/lt. metallic silver/black. The W POWERBAND (for women) will also be introduced in March 2007 in three colorways: running white/metallic silver/running white; running white/metallic silver/posie; running white/black/key lime.
