Los Angeles, Calif. – Golf’s most colourful glove maker, G/FORE has already taken stylish players’ hands by storm, including professionals on the PGA, LPGA, European and Champions Tours, and fashionable golfers on courses around the globe. Now G/FORE’s set to bring its signature style to players’ feet.
Launching at the 2013 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, Fla., G/FORE’s debut shoe has been dubbed The Gallivanter by designer-founder – and avid golfer – Mossimo Giannulli. Available in six colourways, The Gallivanter is crafted from water-resistant suede with tonal and contrast waxed colour laces, and boasts a lightweight, durable microcellular EVA foam sole with shock absorption.
Sure to make a stylish statement on any course, The Gallivanter shoe comes in Clover/Azure, Snow/Blossom, Onyx/Snow, Midnight/Crimson, Sand/Lemon and Charcoal/Lavender colurways. They’re the ideal complement to G/FORE’s collection of more than 20 colourful, finely tailored golf gloves. Set to ship to retailers in summer 2013, G/FORE shoes will also be available via www.gfore.com. Retail pricing is $225 per pair.
“In an industry filled with sameness, G/FORE’s DNA has always been to create newness,” Giannulli says. “With The Gallivanter shoe, I believe we’ve struck a great balance of fashion and comfort. It’s a relevant shoe silhouette in fashion today and one that plays equally well at your favourite pub, country club or fairway.”
Since debuting its colourful line at the 2011 PGA Merchandise Show, G/FORE has become the brand of choice for a wide range of stylish golfers – from professionals like Robert Rock, Ricky Barnes, Alex Cejka, Rick Smith and Tommy Armour III to celebrities including Wayne Gretzky, Bill Murray and Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill, weekend warriors and clubhouse regulars alike.
