FootJoy, the #1 Shoe in Golf, has once again partnered with Harris Tweed Hebrides to launch a limited edition shoe ahead of the 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.
The FJ x Harris Tweed Premiere Series - Packard Herringbone, is the final drop of this year’s Legends Series - a collection of limited edition golf shoes designed to celebrate some of the game’s most iconic moments.
Harris Tweed is the only fabric in the world to have its own act of parliament and that statute states that the material has to be made on the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. The fabric must also be crafted from virgin wool, which gives Harris Tweed that unique and special blend.
Mark Hogarth, Brand Ambassador at Harris Tweed Hebrides, said: “We like to think we are making a product with durability on the basis of a sincere integrity. That integrity is shared by the entire workforce at Harris Tweed - it is a skilled craft to make our fabric. There is a really strong synergy between the manufacturing philosophies of FootJoy and Harris Tweed. For us, manufacturing is an art form and a reflection of everything Harris Tweed stands for. We see that same dedication in FootJoy as well, where the values on craftmanship and attention to detail are essential in order to create a premium product. Every single component of this shoe, from the Harris Tweed and the button details to the incredible stitching in the tongue, has been executed to perfection. Nothing short of perfection is good enough for either brand which is why the 2026 FJ x Harris Tweed Premiere Series is so special.”
Built on a heritage of over 100 years of shoemaking excellence, Premiere Series blends iconic styling with advanced performance technology designed for today’s game.
The FJ x Harris Tweed Premiere Series - Packard Herringbone is equipped with FootJoy’s new ARCTrax outsole technology, delivering more Tour-level traction and stability on any surface, in any condition. This new anti-channeling design and flex-promoting concentric circles optimize ground forces to help power through the golf swing.
FootJoy has refined the performance of the Premiere Series collection in 2026 with a padded and molded Ortholite® tongue that locks the foot in place. It features an enhanced collar padding that provide superior comfort, heel stability and responsive underfoot cushioning for all-day performance.
FootJoy brand ambassadors such as Adam Scott, Justin Thomas and Cameron Young will be presented with the shoes ahead of the 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale Golf Club.
Chris Tobias, Vice President, FJ Global Footwear, said: “With FootJoy and Harris Tweed Hebrides, you are bringing together one of the most iconic golf silhouettes with potentially one of the world’s most iconic materials, creating an authentic story of two companies that have outperformed for decades. Premiere Series has been specifically built for the highest level of performance and we were able to retain those performance attributes in this year’s model while romancing this classic heritage material from Harris Tweed.”
The FJ x Harris Tweed Premiere Series - Packard Herringbone is available beginning Tuesday, July 14 on footjoy.com and at select retailers, while supplies last. Learn more at www.footjoy.com and follow @footjoy on Facebook, Instagram, X and TikTok.
