The performance-driven golf shoe launches August 14
GHOST GOLF and PAYNTR Golf have joined forces to introduce the GHOST GOLF Reaper SL by PAYNTR Golf, uniting performance-first innovation with a bold, design-led perspective for golfers who demand more on the course and beyond.
The partnership brings together two brands with a shared ambition to push golf forward. PAYNTR Golf contributes its performance-first approach to footwear, using purpose-driven technology to help golfers feel supported, stable and connected to the ground. GHOST GOLF brings a distinct design perspective rooted in functionality, modern golf culture and confident self-expression.
“PAYNTR Golf has built an incredible performance platform, and for us, this collaboration was about bringing the Ghost Golf identity to it,” said Andy Nala, CEO & Founder, GHOST GOLF. “We focused on the styling, the details, and four colorways that tie directly back to our core palette and golf bag collection. We wanted golfers to be able to build a complete look without sacrificing performance, and the Reaper SL delivers exactly that.”
Working closely throughout the design process, the two teams developed the Reaper SL to reflect the identities of both brands. Every element from the performance platform and material selection to the silhouette and final visual details was considered through the lens of the modern golfer. The result is a shoe engineered for the demands of the course and designed to make an impact beyond it.
“Every collaboration we’ve pursued has played an important role in shaping how we think about product and partnerships,” said Mike Forsey, Co-founder and President of PAYNTR Golf. “What makes this project especially meaningful is the way it brings our two communities together. GHOST GOLF has built a passionate following around bold design and modern golf culture, while PAYNTR golfers look to us for performance innovation. The Reaper SL gives fans of both brands something authentic to connect around. Together, we created a product that reflects the values they share.”
The Reaper SL pairs PAYNTR GOLF’s performance technology with GHOST GOLF’s unmistakable aesthetic. Its construction is designed to deliver comfort, propulsion, stability, energy return and reliable traction throughout the round, while its styling gives golfers the confidence to express their individuality through GHOST GOLF’s brand ethos.
Performance features include:
- CLARINO Trivela™ microfiber upper
- WATERPROOF+ breathable membrane with sealed bottom gasket
- ARIAPRENE® tongue and bootie for secure foot lockdown
- PMXNITROGEN+ midsole for energy return and support
- ORTHOLITE® footbed for lasting cushioning and comfort
- PMXSpeed PLT propulsion plate
- TPU outsole with three-dimensional traction
The Reaper SL represents a shared vision for the future of golf, one in which technical performance and personal style work together without compromise. This shoe is made for golfers who approach every round with purpose, care deeply about the equipment they use, and want their footwear to reflect how they play and who they are.
“We’ve been fortunate to work on collaborations that have each contributed something important to PAYNTR Golf’s evolution,” said Michael Glancy, Co-Founder and Creative Director of PAYNTR Golf. “What made this process with GHOST GOLF distinctive was how quickly an initial conversation became a hands-on creative partnership. Their perspective pushed us to consider every material, detail, and finish through an authentic lens, while our design teams translated that creative energy into a product that remained uncompromising in its performance and visual aethetic. Seeing that shared vision progress from sketch to launch has been incredibly rewarding.”

ABOUT GHOST GOLF
Ghost Golf was born in 2020 with a single product and a clear point of view. The magnetic towel didn’t just sell. It changed what golfers expected from their gear and put Ghost Golf on the map overnight. Ghost Golf is built by real golfers who understand the game from the inside out. Every product starts with a simple question: what’s missing on the course and how do we build it better than anyone else has? The first symmetrical golf bag. A brush engineered to clean both your shoes and your clubs. An apparel collection that looks like it belongs in an editorial and performs like it was built for 18 holes in the heat. At Ghost Golf, style and performance are never a tradeoff. They’re both non-negotiable. But Ghost Golf is more than product. It’s a standard. A mindset. Built for the golfer who plays fearlessly. The one who’s up before the sun, first to feel the morning dew on the fairway, and last to make an excuse. Full of pride, full of grit, and always ready for the next round. Ghost Golf offers a full line of premium golf bags, magnetic towels, apparel, gloves, headcovers, and accessories designed for the modern golfer. Products are available directly at ghostgolf.com and through select retail partners across North America, including Dick’s Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy. Company website: www.ghostgolf.com.
