UOMO SPORT INTRODUCES THE ECCO WORLDS CLASS LTD. EDITION GOLF SHOE
(Valencia, California) Golf apparel retailer Uomo Sport announces the introduction of a new luxury golf shoe offering from Danish shoemaker ECCO. The newly released World Class Ltd. Edition features limited-production colors and patterns of the heralded luxury golf shoe from ECCO.
Retailing for $430, this top-of-the-line range will be available starting in early February.
With all the economic turmoil lately, selling such a high end golf shoe may seem a little crazy, says Anna Ott, President of Uomo Sport. Given the trend in golf towards a renewed interest in walking over riding in a cart, smart players pay attention to what they wear on their feet. For the most particular, there is no finer choice than this new shoe from ECCO. So we expect a keen interest in the World Class Ltd. Edition.
Offered in traditional white, black, white/black and white/coffee saddle patterns with a reptile print, these distinctive waterproof shoes feature elegant leather uppers showcasing the brand's new Four Dots logo.
"This is a very finite offering for a select number of golf's most discerning players," says Michael Waack, Head of Global Golf at ECCO. "It's a truly classic shoe with the advanced comfort and stability that has made ECCO the brand of choice for so many top PGA Tour players."
An accomplished union of beautiful leatherwork integrated with a Gore-Tex membrane for complete weather resistance, the World Class Ltd. Edition features:
Unique sole technology combining genuine leather with a durable TPU heel flick and a super-light cushioning PU midsole
An internal stabilizer for vital support during the swing
A removable vegetable-tanned leather insole with the ECCO Comfort Fiber System, which increases air circulation for the perfect inner climate
Leather welt construction on the outsole for a true gentleman's look
Standard tread Champ Stinger cleats for superb traction
Guaranteeing a level of quality that cannot be matched by any major footwear manufacturer, each ECCO golf shoe is touched by more than 225 sets of highly-skilled
hands during production. This labor-intensive process facilitates the brand's unrivalled attention to detail that helps discerning players look, feel and play their best.
ECCO men's golf shoes are worn in competition by scores of international Tour stars, including Fred Couples, Colin Montgomerie, Aaron Baddeley, Stuart Appleby, Thomas Bjorn, Arjun Atwal, Thongchai Jaidee, John Bickerton and others.
All ECCO golf shoes feature a network of built-in technologies to create the ideal platform for the perfect swing. These include a direct-injected, PU-constructed midsole/outsole that:
Creates a one-piece shoe construction
Ensures unrivaled durability, flexibility, lightness and weather resistance
Provides a superior level of cushioning and comfort that does not break down over time, unlike commonly-used materials such as air, rubber and EVA foam
