Golf’s fastest growing shoe company accelerates development plan by partnering with JD Plus, one of South Korea’s top brand distributors, and establishing PAYNTR GOLF Korea
Portland, Ore. – PAYNTR GOLF today announced their partnership with JD Plus, a leading product distribution company based in South Korea, as PAYNTR GOLF plans to launch their innovative performance golf shoe line into Asia in March 2023.
“South Korea and Asia overall are enormously important markets for PAYNTR GOLF’s future,” says Mike Forsey, Co-founder and President of PAYNTR GOLF. “This has been part of our strategic plan from the beginning. The environment and opportunity within the golf space to expand our brand’s offerings aligned perfectly for us to partner with such a reputable distributor in JD Plus.”
Backed by its sales success, the demand for PAYNTR GOLF rose significantly through the first three quarters of 2022 with the company offering new models, expanding color ways and sizing, and venturing into performance golf footwear design specifically for a woman’s smaller foot frame. JD Plus will be the first distributor of the brand’s Fast-fit models, set to debut early in 2023.
“PAYNTR GOLF’s philosophy of understanding the needs of the golfer aligns with our core beliefs of bringing premier products to customers and we were thrilled they expressed interest in partnering with JD Plus,” said Brian Do Hyun Hong, Operations Director for JD Plus. “Their team’s success, experience and track record in the golf industry has already proven vital and we look forward to launching their shoes in our market early next year.”
Since introducing the first PAYNTR GOLF shoe, the PAYNTR X 001 F, the company has expanded to full line of products including shoes, gloves, headwear, socks and golf bags, available through a combination of direct to consumer, green grass golf stores, golf clubs, and large retailers including PGA TOUR Super Store. Following the premier of the PANYTR X 002 LE and PAYNTR X 003 F, the company received praise from top media outlets such as MyGolfSpy, Golf Digest, Forbes, Golfweek and Business Insider.
