Jordan Spieth is one of golf’s new generation of stars. After a remarkable year in 2015 and three wins in 2016 (Hyundai Tournament of Champions, Dean & Deluca Invitational, Emirates Australian Open), he starts the 2017 calendar year with back-to-back third place finishes. He is not only one of the faces of the PGA TOUR, but also the face of Under Armour Golf.
“I couldn’t be more excited to officially unveil my first signature shoe, the Spieth One, with Under Armour,” Spieth said. “I worked closely with the Under Armour footwear team to design an innovative shoe that is grounded in the details of my game. The opportunity to unveil my signature shoe with the amazing fans here in Tokyo is extremely humbling and an experience I will never forget.”
Last year, we saw the release of three golf shoes by Under Armour, our favourite being the Under Armour Drive One. For 2017, the company releases the Spieth One, the first signature shoe by Under Armour for Jordan Spieth. The Spieth One was designed with the two-time Major Champion and features a elements that reflect his personality, style and game. Under Armour and Spieth are headed on a global tour for the release, starting in Tokyo, Japan before heading to Seoul, South Korea, then Los Angeles and Mexico City over the coming weeks.
“With engaging activations, unique cultural experiences and more, we are showcasing Jordan’s love of the game and Under Armour’s commitment to providing a world-class product, all while driving the game of golf forward on a global scale.” – Kevin Ross, General Manager of Global Golf
The four key features of the Jordan Spieth signature shoe are:
• Waterproof: The shoe has a breathable, waterproof upper to ensure world-class performance in the toughest of conditions. Water can’t enter, but perspiration can escape.
• Rotational Resistance Traction: This groundbreaking feature prevents the rotation of the foot during the swing from load up to impact.
• One-seam upper: The upper is composed with a single seam, reducing layers and weight while enhancing overall fit and feel.
• Dual durometer outsole: The outsole has a softer forefoot for flexibility paired with a firm heel for stability and support.
The Spieth One shoe retails for USD $200 and will be available March 1 on UA.com and through the company’s brand houses.
