The Malbon logo will be showcased on the outside of the supple Yak leather upper, that sits atop the award-winning ECCO E-DTS® hybrid outsole featuring approximately 800 traction points. Available for men and women in-store at Malbon Golf and on MalbonGolf.com, the partnership is testament to the ECCO vision of incorporating mainstream fashion elements into premium golf footwear.
“We worked directly with Malbon in the design process to create a unique style that speaks to both their brand ethos and ours,” says Thomas Dixon, product manager of ECCO Sport. “Comfortable, durable and sharp, these shoes perform as well as they look.”
