(LONDONDERRY, NH) – ECCO – a leading global manufacturer of innovative footwear – introduces ECCO CAGE EVO, a cleated golf shoe that leverages the Danish company’s manufacturing expertise to promote superior walking comfort immediately out of the box and for every step thereafter.
Premiering at the 2016 PGA Merchandise Show and delivering June 2016 in the United States, ECCO CAGE EVO ($190 USD) is distinguished by a fully-integrated DiP wrap system and multi-material upper. The latter features performance textile bonded with webbing made from a customized PU. Created specifically for use on CAGE EVO, this promotes a remarkably comfortable fit while delivering outstanding protection from tears and abrasion.
Embodying the brand’s spirit of innovation, ECCO CAGE EVO also extends the limits of stability, flexibility and cushioning via its:
• Unique, one-piece, DiP stability cage that wraps from the heel through the midsole and across the toe box
• Anatomical outsole design that aligns and moves in unison with the foot’s essential ligaments and muscles
• ECCO Freedom Fit combining a snug heel setting with a roomier forefoot area that allows toes to move naturally
“With excitement kicking into high gear for the original ECCO CAGE, there’s going to be tremendous buzz around this lightweight and supportive extension of the category,” says Michael Waack, Head of Global Golf at ECCO. “Its development really showcases our technical superiority in using DiP, which remains the most advanced comfort technology in golf footwear.”
To further ensure a pleasant walk round after round, the ECCO CAGE EVO (MSRP: $190) is exceptionally water-repellant via the proprietary ECCO HYDROMAX™ treatment. The shoe also boasts a lightweight, low-to-the-ground construction and the CHAMP SLIM-Lok cleat system.
Like all shoes in the ECCO Golf Collection, ECCO CAGE EVO is crafted at company-owned factories using the Direct-injection Process. This bonds the upper and outsole unit, creating a one-piece shoe without the use of glue or stitching. Benefits include permanent memory and a firm, water-tight seal.
Endorsed by Tour stars worldwide, the ECCO Golf collection is worn in competition by Fred Couples, Ernie Els, Graeme McDowell, Thomas Bjørn, Thongchai Jaidee, Marcel Siem, Will Wilcox, Caroline Masson, Gerina Piller, Jennifer Johnson, Sadena Parks, Kendall Dye, Line Vedel Hansen, Pernilla Lindberg, Therese Koelbaek, Sophie Giquel-Bettan, Liz Young, Sally Watson and Linda Wessberg, among others.
