Classic, Contemporary Designs Feature Game-Enhancing Comfort Technologies
(Londonderry, New Hampshire) - Danish shoemaker ECCO introduces its Spring/Summer 2010 men's golf collection, showcasing highest-grade leathers, superior comfort technologies and an expansive range of new styles, from luxurious classic looks to casual, street-inspired designs.
Serious players will appreciate the technical sophistication and hyper-advanced feel of the Ultra Performance Hydromax. Its patent-pending stability system guarantees unmatched torsional support, comfort and power through all phases of the swing. This works in concert with the game's most advanced outsole design that enhances traction, reduces weight and ensures flexibility.
Taking its cues from modern men's fashion, Golf Street Premier includes funky color pops of cactus green, fanta orange and chili red, metal-rivet accents and wide, flat laces. Created to be worn both on and off the course, this hybrid sport casual shoe is the ideal combination of fashion and function thanks to full-grain leather uppers, a sleek midsole and pre-molded traction bars.
"With each collection, we continue to redefine the golf footwear experience," says Michael Waack, Head of Global Golf at ECCO. "Our process is completely unique, as it starts from designs built around the human foot. Comfort, performance and a complete commitment to quality are the driving forces, but style is also key."
