DUCA DEL COSMA ADVANCES ITS ITALIAN GOLF EVOLUTION IN SS22 RANGE

-All-new styles, bright colors & leading tech headline latest collection from Italian brand-

Luxury golf shoe brand Duca del Cosma has today launched its SS22 collection for men and women with the addition of striking new designs and color options that incorporate the latest footwear innovations and eco-friendly technology.

Featuring 28 premium styles that are designed to be worn both on and off the course, new standout men’s models include the classic brogue-style CHURCHILL and REGENT shoes, the popular ELPASO in a fashionable Black color, plus the sporty TOMCAT in Light Grey.

For women, the white KING CHEETAH design is a welcome addition to the line-up, along with the WILDCAT in the striking glossy White and Red colorways, while the special-edition MELANIE style joins the collection due to its popularity with fashion conscious lady golfers.

“We have carefully selected new models and striking color combinations that we feel complement our extensive collection of top-quality golf shoes and offer something truly different to anything else on the market,” said Sjef van Gastel, CEO at Duca del Cosma. “We fully expect the comfortable new models and latest innovations to be a big hit with golfers able to appreciate premium hand-crafted shoes with exceptional stylish flair,” he added.

Innovations applied to the SS22 collection deliver top performance and demonstrate the brand’s commitment to sustainability through the use of recycled materials. The waterproof sock system applied to a number of shoes in the range incorporates OnSteam® recyclable microfibre technology, while the breathable ARNEFLEX® insert sole is also manufactured using recycled materials and delivers unrivalled all-day comfort. A recyclable heel and toe-cap are applied to all golf shoes in the collection.

The CHURCHILL offers a masterclass in golf shoe design and performance – making it the ultimate shoe for the serious golfer. It incorporates the Airplay XI outsole with sturdy 5mm square-shaped nubs to deliver progressive stability and grip during the swing. Offering a seamless combination of function and fit, plus super sophisticated looks, the recyclable heel and toe cap deliver incredible comfort and prevent foot fatigue during the round. The shoe is available in the dapper Cognac and Royal Blue color combinations.

As a trendy modern take on a timeless brogue-style design, the REGENT is a refreshing addition to the collection. The lightweight Airplay VIII outsole offers a contemporary look for fashion forward golfers and provides optimal stability and grip. With water resistant features and a comfortable insole, the shoe is available in White and Cognac.

The ELPASO – a 2021 Editor’s Choice Award winner – is now available in a fashionable Black colorway with beige trim piping for golfers seeking a supremely bold look. A 100% Nappa leather upper provides superior comfort, while recyclable microfibre in the sock system and insole gives the shoe an eco-friendly update. Both the OnSteam® lining and insert sole provide waterproofing and breathability, while the Airplay XI outsole adds a striking modern appearance. The shoe is also available in Navy and White.

Another model with a new colorway is the TOMCAT in a fresh Light Grey option for golfers seeking a sporty shoe that can be worn off the course as well as on it. Featuring the innovatively engineered Airplay XII outsole made from recyclable rubber, the shoe has 2-Way-Twist triangular nubs built into the pivot point for an extra smooth transition in the swing, while cone-shaped nubs ensure optimum grip and the B-Light rubber outsole delivers a lightweight feel. It also comes in a vibrant Navy color with contrasting red sole.

The athletic BELAIR has been carried over due to its popularity with discerning golfers. Available in the White/Cognac and Navy, there is a colorway to compliment a number of different golfing outfits.

Linked to the conservation of one of the world’s rarest animals, the highly distinctive KING CHEETAH shoe – recognised in the 2021 Global Footwear Awards – features the striking markings in an all-new White/Cheetah colorway. The style that will turn heads for all the right reasons features a waterproof sock system with OnSteam® recyclable microfibre, the highly breathable insert soles, plus super comfortable memory foam and heel support made from recycled cork. A percentage of purchases of the KING CHEETAH shoe will go to supporting the Hoedspruit endangered Species Centre (HESC) in South Africa.

Launched as a special edition shoe last year, the predominantly white MELANIE – designed by the partner of Tour star Joost Luiten – features a sporty black trim, along with five stars to reflect the high standards that should be followed in life and sport. Patented leather and other premium materials form the outer, while the waterproof sock system and innovative insole deliver exceptional cushioning. The lightweight Airplay VI outsole offers unrivalled comfort and optimal stability by placing strategically positioned 5mm cone-shaped nubs across the sole.

New color options of the sporty WILDCAT include a clean White model and a radiant Red style. The shoes come in a glossy finish and are sure to dazzle both on and off the course. The stylish BELLEZZA now comes in two more color choices – Navy and Pink – with a daring camo print on the outer for super fashionable looks for everyday use, as well as golf.

The global brand sells its premium shoes in 40 different countries and operates from four offices around the world – The Netherlands (HQ), United States, United Kingdom and South Africa. For more information on the SS22 range, please visit www.ducadelcosma.com.
