CARLSBAD, Calif. (June 1, 2016) – Today PUMA Golf introduced IGNITE Spikeless Sport, the latest addition to its premium, performance-ready IGNITE family of Footwear. The IGNITE Spikeless Sport provides the ultimate in function, versatility and fashion, coupled with Tour-proven performance and stability, making it a must-have shoe for golfers to wear on and off the course. Bryson DeChambeau, a COBRA PUMA GOLF athlete and 22-year-old phenom who became only the fifth golfer ever to win the NCAA Men’s Individual Championship and the U.S. Amateur in the same calendar year, will wear this shoe throughout his remaining tournaments this season.
“These are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn,” said DeChambeau. “The Spikeless Sport provides all the stability, comfort and support that I need on Tour, but they are also very stylish – combining a modern look with classic golf details that fits my style perfectly!”
To create a comfortable, high-performing golf shoe, the team at PUMA Golf focused specifically on the material, utilizing a unique four-way stretch waterproof mesh combined with a leather saddle. The premium leather juxtaposed against the mesh fabric provides a sophisticated, modern silhouette with a sharp style that can seamlessly transition from the golf course to dinner with friends or even an office meeting. The shoes also integrate premium detailing including a leather pull-tab, reflective laces and a U-shaped heel clip providing extra support for all types of players and swing types.
A new Hybrid Bootie construction along with the 360 tongue design locks in your foot for a glove-like fit coupled with ultimate flexibility. The addition of a full length IGNITE Foam midsole works to provide unparalleled comfort. IGNITE Foam is an ultra-responsive cushioning foam with incredible energy return properties providing the perfect combination of support and stability.
“These shoes are perfect for any golfers who are looking for the perfect blend of style and versatility in their golf footwear,” said Grant Knudson, Head of Footwear for PUMA Golf. “The bonus with these, is that along with a fashionable, stylish shoe, you also get extreme comfort, enhanced stability and Tour-proven performance. This shoe will to become your go-to shoe for wear on and off the course.”
Thirty-nine strategically placed hexagon spikes provide multi-directional, Grip Zone Traction while 24 chevron shaped lugs increase traction where it’s needed most during the swing. The placement of the lugs also work to provide traction on smooth surfaces, so this shoe can easily be transitioned from the golf course to the clubhouse and beyond.
IGNITE Spikeless Sport (MSRP $140) is available at retail starting today, in three colorways – Smoked Pearl/Silver/Green Gecko; Peacoat/Silver/White; PUMA Black/Silver.
