FIRST LOOK: FootJoy Stratos golf footwear for 2021
FootJoy unveils its latest new golf shoe to the market...
FootJoy has today launched its innovative new Stratos golf shoe (SRP £159.99) for both male and female golfers, and it will be available to purchase from December 4.
The new footwear, reveals FJ, features an "unparalleled, ultra-cushioned underfoot ride, game-changing traction and super soft leather uppers."
KEY FEATURES
STRATOFOAM CUSHIONING SYSTEM
FJ Stratos features an all-new cushioning compound called StratoFoam, a proprietary foam blend that provides optimal support and comfort for conditions specific to golf, including swinging, walking and everything in between. StratoFoam is the perfect blend of cushioning, made up of a proprietary EVA/Polyolefin mixture, which helps absorb shock for maximum comfort and energy return.
ADVANCED VERSATRAX+ OUTSOLE
The all-new VersaTrax+ outsole is designed to provide optimised traction for every lie and every condition on the course. The tread pattern has been cleverly designed to provide what FJ are calling ‘anti-channelling’ traction. This is achieved in two ways; firstly the design minimises the possibility of turf or debris gathering in the outsole which means maximum contact between the ground and the shoe is maintained. Secondly, the traction points are positioned in a non-linear way with each at different angles so the shoe is always able to find the next traction element to catch onto the ground which maintains grip and prevents slipping.
The new outsole configuration utilises multiple TPU compounds to grip any surface – a harder TPU for on-course grip and a softer TPU for traction on harder surfaces - making the FJ Stratos the ultimate, versatile footwear option in golf.
The FJ Stratos innovation package results in Tour-level on-course performance and was named a top-rated, best-in-class shoe in Cornell University’s recent turf grass/green friendliness testing.
SUPER SOFT, SUPER SUPPLE
FJ Stratos uses a beautiful, soft, premium leather upper from Pittards® of England, utilising a proprietary tanning process to achieve an ultra-luxurious, supple feel. It features an athletic-fit construction with an integrated tongue for all-around comfort and a reinforced heel for greater rear foot stability.
Available: December 4
SRP: £159.99
