ROYAL ALBARTROSS PAYS TRIBUTE TO GOLF’S “OPEN SEASON” WITH NEW FOOTWEAR

New Men’s, Women’s Styles Make Major Statement for U.S. Open and The Open Championship

LONDON, England (April 30, 2019) – To celebrate this summer’s “Open Season,” luxury master-crafted footwear designer Royal Albartross is introducing distinctive new golf shoes.

A new collection of Ladies Liberty women’s golf shoes arrives just in time for the U.S. Open Championship in June, while the latest limited edition of its trend-setting Croco men’s golf shoe will honor of The Open Championship when it’s released in July.

The men’s Cobalt (royal blue) Croco provides a splash of Union Jack color with red laces –making it perfect for any occasion when style is as important as utility. Plus, these stylish shoes will add a bit of “Champion Golfer of the Year” swagger to every step.

One of four limited-edition styles honoring golf’s major championships, the Cobalt Croco is handcrafted with dark blue crocodile-print leather, lightweight VIBRAM pro golf outer soles, and soft calf linings that support and cushion every step on and off the fairways. Suggested retail price is $315. Limited edition Green and Black Crocos were created to commemorate the 2019 Masters and U.S. Open Championship.

The Ladies Liberty collection makes a major statement of its own by expanding the high-fashion “athleisure” footwear lineup “for women designed by women.” These sneaker-style golf shoes are made with black or white calf leather, black or white laces, and multicolored accent tape at the back for a bold touch. This is the perfect shoe for time spent on and off the course. Suggested retail price is $299.

Royal Albartross is challenging the notion of how a golf shoe can fit – and look – with its ground-breaking designs, which boldly show how golf footwear can perform exceptionally on the course while complementing wardrobes and lifestyles off the course. Designed in London, and hand-made in Europe, these footwear collections deliver on-course traction, all-day comfort, and fashion-focused aesthetics.

What truly distinguishes Royal Albartross from other golf shoe manufacturers is its attention to detail and commitment to top-quality materials sourced from all over the world. Each pair of Royal Albartross shoes features Italian leather, high-shine components and VIBRAM soles. It takes eight weeks and more than 250 tasks to make a single pair of Royal Albartross golf shoes, with master artisans crafting each aspect of by hand.
