Boost your swing with new Powerband BOA Boost golf shoe from Adidas

Ask any golfer about their equipment, and you will quickly find that you can’t wear just any pair of shoes. They need to provide traction, comfort, and stability — and the newly announced Powerband Boa Boost from Adidas do just that.

The main catalyst behind the shoe’s development was to provide the necessary components to maximize a golfer’s swing speed. The Powerband Boa Boost deliver the necessary traction, and also has added technology for better energy return and lateral stability, as well as improved comfort.

For the past decade, Adidas has been adapting the technology within its Power brand shoes. The Powerband Boa Boost is the culmination of these efforts and includes what Adidas calls the Powercage chassis system. Basically, the shoe uses supportive materials and straps in the center saddle to hold down the middle of the foot. A new L6 Boa closure system at the top of the tongue allows for fast and easy adjustability. Not only does this enhance lateral stability, it also allows for a more customizable fit.

Giving the shoe its traction are six, strategically placed cleats in the outsole construction. The cleats add grip and stability, but their low profile nature also improves their green friendliness. These shoes won’t be tearing up the golf courses anytime soon.

For added comfort, Adidas included the Boost midsole and a slightly rounded toe shape. The midsole provides some energy return while the shape provides more volume, improved comfort, and better stability. The Climaproof stretch microfiber also means your feet will stay dry in the morning dew. That’s important for a full day of golfing.

The new Powerband Boa Boost is available in two colors — black and white — for $180 a pair. More colors will be added in the coming months.

This trail-tested, road ready Aventon e-bike is $200 off — We gave it 4.5 stars
Aventon Ramblas eMTB e-bike for trail and off-road rides

At the risk of repeating myself, we are rather fond of Aventon e-bikes here at Digital Trends. They tend to review favorably because of how much value they offer. Take the Ramblas eMTB e-bike, for instance. We gave it four and a half stars in our review back in August. Resident reviewer and e-bike expert, Bruce Brown, praised it for its "strong hardtail" frame, excellent mid-drive torque, strong stopping power, smooth ride experience, and competitive pricing. The latter is a real highlight, but get this, it's also on sale right now for $200 off. So, that competitive pricing is even more enticing. Normally $2,899, it's down to $2,699 thanks to a big sale, saving you $200. Check out that sale for yourself, otherwise let's discuss why this is such a great e-bike, especially if you like trail riding.

 
Why do we love the Aventon Ramblas eMTB e-bike in this sale?

Mod Bikes launches a BMW-inspired, limited-edition sidecar e-bike
MOD Easy Sidecar Sahara limited edition e-bike.

Mod Bikes has introduced the Mod Easy Sidecar Sahara, a limited-edition sidecar-style cargo e-bike modeled on the 1940s BMW R75 Sahara motorcycle. On November 9, 2024, Mod will exhibit the Sidecar Sahara at the Electrify Expo at the Circuit of the Americas racetrack in Austin, Texas.
Mod does sidecars

The BMW R 75 Sahara, which inspired the limited-edition e-bike, is a highly collectible motorcycle. Mod Bikes is one of the few e-bike manufacturers that sells e-bikes with sidecars in the U.S., along with other styles. The versatile Easy Sidecar models transform in just a few minutes from a sidecar e-bike to a standard, two-wheel e-bike. However, the sidecar configuration is fun for carrying pets, children, small adults, and groceries or other cargo.

Some clothing designs stand the test of time, others transcend fashion categories or groups, just like Pins & Aces. Allow me to explain.
