It is engineered with a remarkable low and forward centre of gravity placement, which results in dramatically reduced spin rates.
The German golfer’s US Open success marks his second victory in the last five weeks as well as the second win for adidas Golf footwear.
The 2013 US Open Champion, Justin Rose, also wore adicross gripmore throughout the tournament.
Kaymer is the fourth player in the last two decades to win a second Major championship before turning 30.
Despite rarely making equipment changes, Kaymer also added the new Tour Preferred MC irons to his bag at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in February.
As well as his bag of TaylorMade clubs, Kaymer has also worn the adidas Golf adicross gripmore since the WGC-Cadillac Championship in March, where he praised the shoe’s comfort and performance attributes.
Kaymer was also seen wearing adicross gripmore during his dramatic victory at The Players Championship in May and throughout the US Open.
Gripmore technology combines the performance benefits of spiked and spikeless footwear into one revolutionary technology.
As well as enhanced grip, the adicross gripmore is among the most green-friendly shoe the company has ever created.
