Fairhaven, MA – FootJoy, the #1 Shoe in Golf and the #1 Shoe on every tour worldwide announces the launch of SYNR•G (‘Synergy’), a new shoe category engineered to deliver the most comprehensive stability package of any line of shoes in FootJoy’s storied history. Taking performance to new heights, SYNR•G shoes pack a one-two punch by incorporating stability and comfort features into the upper as well as the outsole.
After more than two years in development, SYNR•G unveils the high-performance G•Force outsole. Designed and developed for golfers seeking maximum support and a solid foundation, the exclusive Tri-lateral Stability Frame is combined with a perforated alloy mid-foot support bridge to cradle the foot and provide a phenomenal stable hitting platform.
The uppers have been developed specifically to enhance the overall stability characteristics of SYNR•G. Memory foam has been strategically placed around the entire collar and under the tongue providing the player with a comfortable mold-to-your-foot custom fit while simultaneously delivering dramatically improved support and motion control. Adding to the in-shoe support, the HeelLoc zone, located on the heel area of the PU Fit-bed reduces friction and keeps the foot securely positioned throughout the golf swing.
“The new SYNR•G shoes provide ultimate stability features from top to bottom”, said Jack Erickson, Vice President Golf Footwear Worldwide. “The memory foam and HeelLoc zone work in harmony to secure the foot inside the shoe, while the innovative Tri-Lateral Stability Frame and G-Force outsole deliver the most stable hitting platform of any shoe we’ve ever developed here at FootJoy.”
After extensive testing, SYNR•G shoes have proven to increase a player’s overall base stability- benefiting golfers at every level.
“Today’s players continue to generate higher swing speeds and therefore it was critical for FootJoy to develop a performance golf shoe that could maximize this force”, said Mike Foley, Director of Footwear Marketing for FootJoy. “By effectively securing a substantial foundation, SYNR•G shoes allow players of every level to really go after the ball.”
SYNR•G will be available in four styles: white lizard print/white, brown lizard print /white, black lizard print/white, and black lizard print/black and will carry a two-year limited waterproof warranty. The shoes will be available in January with a suggested retail price of $220.
