PUMA Golf is one of the leaders in the golf industry when it comes to footwear innovation and design. Earlier in the year, they introduced the “coolest shoe in golf” – the TITANTOUR – featuring Outlast Certified Space Technology™, originally developed for NASA. For the new season, they’ve intoduced the IGNITE collection of golf footwear including the TITANTOUR IGNITE and TITANTOUR IGNITE Premium.
Their IGNITE collection is arguably the most comfortable collection from the brand to date. The footwear utilizes revolutionary IGNITE foam – an innovative foam that maximizes energy return to give golfers power, comfort and performance through all 18 holes. With this IGNITE foam, the TITANTOUR IGNITE family is designed to deliver responsive cushioning, optimal rebound, and superior step-in comfort through every shot.
During a proprietary manufacturing process, a liquid Polyurethane (PU) blend is poured into a mold in the shape of the midsole. IGNITE Foam has a high support factor and high compression set that results in both superior cushioning and minimal deformation over time. This new foam technology is designed to make the shoe more responsive and release energy more efficiently throughout the swing, making IGNITE footwear extra comfortable.
“The coolest shoe in golf is now the most comfortable shoe we’ve ever made. The addition of IGNITE foam to the PWRCOOL Technology brings TITANTOUR footwear to a new level – enhancing its performance on the course and providing unparalleled support and cushioning,” said Grant Knudson, Head of Footwear, PUMA Golf. “At PUMA Golf we challenge ourselves to create footwear that helps golfers focus on their game instead of thinking about their feet. With the TITANTOUR IGNITE collection, golfers can play from dawn ‘til dusk and their feet will be comfortable, protected and performance ready.”
In addition to the IGNITE foam, the shoes also features TITANTOUR’s signature technology, PWRCOOL powered by Outlast, which regulates foot temperature by utilizing phase change materials that absorb, store and release heat for optimal thermal comfort.
The IGNITE collection provides 360 degree comfort and performance by adding a premium dual density PU sockliner that provides additional comfort and a customized fit, along with a PWRFRAME TPU outsole that encases the midsole for lightweight strength and durability, increased flexibility and superior traction. The outsole also boasts DUOFLEX, anatomically positioned flex grooves that allows the foot to move naturally while still providing support with a low-profile cleat made with K5 for long lasting abrasion resistance.
Rickie Fowler debuted the new TITANTOUR IGNITE footwear at this year’s Presidents Cup. Sporting a new, sleeker shape, and new performance last, the TITANTOUR IGNITE is full-grain leather that provides excellent fit, unrivaled comfort and a stylish toe-down look. The TITANTOUR IGNITE Premium takes golf footwear to the next level with sophisticated, tonal colorways in full-grain leather and constructed with an ultra-soft pigskin lining. The IGNITE Premium shoe features aniline pull-up leathers in brown and grey. A TITANTOUR IGNITE Spikeless golf shoe will also be offered mid-December 2015.
