FootJoy's Premiere Series range has taken the golfing world by storm over the last few years, with huge numbers of professionals and amateurs choosing to play the classically-styled shoe which is worn by Justin Thomas, Max Homa and Wyndham Clark.
The series has two new additions to the lineup for 2024 in the form of the Field LX and Bel Air, designed for golfers seeking a modern twist on a classic golf shoe.
The Field LX features a premium folded-edge constructed leather detail around the upper, while the Bel Air is said to be a modern reimagining of an iconic profile.
The shoes come with innovative performance technologies, headlined by the VersaTrax+ outsole which delivers traction and stability in all conditions, and on every playing surface. There's a specifically designed anti-channeling pattern which uses rubber traction elements to provide grip with every step.
Historically golf shoes that look like this might put some golfers off because they'd worry about how comfortable they are, but FootJoy have worked hard with the Premiere Series to ensure that they are wearable right out of the box.
An enhanced collar padding and lambskin linings provide all-day comfort with a better fit, while the shoes also feature an Ortholite EcoPlush FitBed to provide more stability in the heel as well as underfoot cushioning.
"Premiere Series continues to be the #1 shoe across the worldwide tours thanks to its unparalleled combination of timeless style and modern performance. The introduction of the Field LX and Bel Air models offer golfers additional options within the range,thanks to new upper designs that are a nod to our past with a strong focus towards the future with a modern classic style, next-level performance and comfort attributes."
Guy Smith, Senior Product Manager, FootJoy EMEA.
