[PORTLAND, OR] — Jones Sports Co. and PAYNTR Golf today announced the launch of an exclusive, limited-edition golf shoe collaboration that unites timeless design with modern performance engineering. The Jones Sports Co. RS by PAYNTR Golf delivers a refined, heritage-inspired aesthetic backed by PAYNTR Golf’s industry-leading performance technologies.
Positioned as a standout option for golfers who demand both style and substance, this collaboration reflects a shared philosophy between the two brands: honoring the traditions of the game while pushing innovation forward. The result is a versatile, tour-caliber golf shoe designed for performance in all conditions, while maintaining the clean, understated look synonymous with Jones Sports Co.
“At Jones, we’ve always believed that great design stands the test of time,” said Matt Lemman, Principal Owner of Jones Sports Co. “Partnering with PAYNTR allowed us to bring that philosophy to footwear in a way we’re truly proud of — a shoe that looks and feels like Jones, but performs at the highest level the game demands.”
At the core of the Jones Sports Co. RS by PAYNTR Golf is a performance-driven construction built to enhance comfort, stability, and power throughout the golf swing. The upper combines a CLARINO Trivela™️ microfiber base for lightweight flexibility with full-grain leather overlays for a premium look and feel. A WATERPROOF+ breathable membrane, fused to the lining and sealed with a waterproof bottom gasket, ensures all-weather protection without sacrificing breathability.
Underfoot, PAYNTR Golf’s proprietary technologies deliver measurable performance benefits. The PMXNITROGEN+ footbed provides responsive cushioning that maintains its integrity over time, while the PMXFOAM midsole with mock leather welt enhances comfort and visual appeal. The PMX SPEED PLT propulsion plate is engineered to help golfers harness ground reaction forces more efficiently, translating into greater stability and power through impact.
Additional features include an ARIAPRENE® tongue and bootie system for secure foot lockdown and breathable support, and a TPU outsole with Fast Twist insert system that delivers multi-directional traction across varying playing surfaces.
“This collaboration was an opportunity to thoughtfully merge Jones’ timeless, minimalist design language with our performance-first engineering philosophy,” said Michael Glancy, Co-founder and Creative Director of PAYNTR Golf. “Every material choice and construction detail was intentional, ensuring the shoe not only looks refined but actively works with the golfer to generate more stability, more energy transfer, and ultimately better performance through the swing.”
The Jones Sports Co. RS by PAYNTR Golf collaboration will be available in limited quantities with two styles, retailing for $200 at Jones Sports Co. and PAYNTR Golf.
