Gretzky and DJ Come Together for Limited-Edition adidas TOUR360 22

adidas is very fortunate and unique in that it is brand that covers a wide range of sports—golf, soccer, basketball, baseball, etc. 

So only adidas Golf could bring two greats from their sports to create something special:

adidas Golf has brought Wayne Gretzky and Dustin Johnson together to develop a limited-edition TOUR360 22 that honors each athlete.

There’s no getting around it. Wayne Gretzky will always be cemented in hockey history as “The Great One.” His nine Hart Memorial Trophies, awarded to the most valuable player in the National Hockey League, is a record that may never be broken. His 2,857 points in his NHL career put him in a different category entirely. But Gretzky is also a tenacious athlete off the ice, and adidas wanted to honor the avid golfer by capturing some of the things that defined him throughout his time on the ice as a professional.

These subtle details include his legendary number “99”—the only number retired by every team in the NHL—appearing on the lateral side of the right shoe and on the sockliner. adidas also made sure to include a colorway inspired by his first NHL team where he won four Stanley Cups.

Wayne Gretzky said:

“Dustin and I have played a lot of golf together over the years, so this is definitely something special… The adidas team did a great job to capture a piece of both of us with the design and made the new TOUR360 22 look great.”

On the other foot is one of the greatest to pick up a golf club—Dustin Johnson, who’s accolades are still growing. His 24 wins on the PGA Tour, including 2 major championships, put him in unique company amongst his peers. He also ranks fifth all-time for most weeks (64) spent as the best golfer in the world.

The TOUR360 is special to DJ, having worn it in both his major championships and many years throughout his career. adidas included Dustin’s “DJ” logo on the left shoe and sockliner, and the familiar navy colorway in the 3-Stripes is a nod to one of his favorite colors to wear in competition.

adidas athlete Dustin Johnson said:

“I’ve been part of some amazing collaborations with the adidas team over the years, but this one definitely goes to the top of the list… Wayne is the greatest to ever play hockey and I know how much he loves golf, so to be there with him side by side on this limited edition TOUR360 22 is really cool.”

Unveiled last month, the adidas TOUR360 22 offers golfers an entirely new Feet You Wear last and new SPIKEMORE traction system.

Masun Denison, Global Footwear Director, Adidas Golf, said:

“Once Dustin and Wayne started playing together pretty frequently in pro-ams we always had it in our heads to create something unique that celebrated both of them… The TOUR360 22 provides the perfect canvas for something like this and knowing how much hockey players love to play golf, we know this will be exciting for fans of both sports.”

In addition to the limited edition Tour360 22’s, adidas is also selling a special hat to commemorate this model. The headwear matches the colorways of the shoe and features the “99” logo across the front.

Both the hat and limited-edition colorway of the TOUR360 22 will be available in limited quantities beginning Friday, February 25th on adidas.com, the adidas app, and at select retailers worldwide.
