Srixon/Cleveland Golf/XXIO launches two new golf shoe models by Asics: the Gel-Course Glide and Gel-Course Duo Boa
Srixon/Cleveland Golf/XXIO in partnership with Asics has unveiled two brand-new golf shoe models: the Gel-Course Glide and Gel-Course Duo Boa.
The new additions from Asics are built with inspiration from the brand’s running shoes and aim to deliver maximum comfort and flexibility while providing ultimate traction and stability.
The Gel-Course Duo Boa model features the Boa lacing system for fast, precise fitting through a quick adjusting dial to tighten or loosen the lacing. The shoes are fully waterproof and contain a traction sole pattern with seven spikes.
The Gel-Course Glide shoe is an alternative spikeless version with standard laces designed to provide golfers with versatility on and off the course.
Both the Gel-Course Glide and Gel-Course Duo Boa feature an air mesh which aims to offer excellent flexibility during the swing and while walking the golf course. The company’s FlyteFoam technology is designed to provide lightweight shock absorption and exceptional durability in each shoe.
Speaking on the new golf shoes, Mike Powell, President of Sales and Marketing at Srixon/Cleveland Golf/XXIO, stated
“I’m excited to introduce ASICS golf footwear into the U.S. golf market with the Gel-Course Glide and Gel Course Duo Boa models. Asics is a huge global sports brand and widely recognized as the leader in performance footwear.
They have a rich heritage of innovation and product quality and align with our values as a company. These two models will appeal to golfers that enjoy an active and healthy outdoor lifestyle and love the performance and comfort that Asics is famous for.”
According to the company, the spikes are placed precisely to provide maximum stability and traction while walking the course through an FG traction sole pattern, while the Asics Rearfoot GEL brand technology provides cushioning which aims to reduce impact and increases shock absorption. The shoes also contain Toe and Lateral rubber wraps which look to help players maintain balance throughout the golf swing
Both new additions also include an air mesh at vamp with an integrated quarter panel designed for a supportive fit, with an internal molded heel counter in a bid to offer optimal foot support. The shoes contain additional ankle padding which looks to help create a custom fit that adapts to every move
The Gel-Course Duo Boa model MSRP for $179.99 and are offered in men’s Sizes 6-12, and 13. The shoe comes in three different color codes – Black/Gunmetal, White/Peacoat, and Peacoat/Pure Silver.
The Gel-Course Glide shoes MSRP for $129.99 and are offered in men’s (6-12, 13) and women’s (6-10) sizes. The men’s edition come in four different color codes – Black/Silver, White/Polar Shade, Polar Shade/Black, and Blue/White. The women’s Gel Course Glide shoes come in two different color codes – Metropolis/White and Orchid/White.
Both new additions from Asics are available at authorized golf shops and golf specialty retailers across North America, as well as online at Srixon.com/Asics beginning today.

New Level launches new 480-DB irons, blending performance and forgiveness
New Level has been making some really good golf equipment since the company started up in 2018. Offering irons that are more geared towards the better player, precision has been a fundamental philosophy for New Level in creating irons and wedges.
The 480 line of irons has been the flagship of the brand, and the newest member of that team is the 480-DB iron that is now open to pre-orders. A new cavity design is what the whole 480 line is about, and the 480-DB takes advantage of that with added ball speed and a larger sweet spot.
For players who require their irons to offer the best feel, rest assured the DB is a fully forged (from 1020 carbon steel) one-piece golf club. No multi-piece, hollow design with this iron.
While the 480-DB is the next generation of the popular 902-OS, New Level didn’t follow the current trend in golf by chasing distance with the new iron. They actually weakened the lofts on the 480-DB with the spec sheet showing a 33-degree 7-iron and 45-degree pitching wedge. These lofts allow the DB to have less offset while still offering consistent distance off the face.
A traditional design was also at the forefront of the new irons to make sure that golfers with an eye for detail can look down at them with confidence that they will perform under any condition.
A weight low in the back cavity will allow their master club builders to dial in the perfect weight for the golfer, no matter the length or shaft being used. New Level believes that the new 480-DB is one of the most forgiving one-piece forged irons on the market today. A pre-worn leading edge on the sole should get through the turf quickly and with reduced digging for better turf interaction.
You can pre-order the New Level 480-DB right now on the New Level website.

Srixon is owned by the same parent company asics is, theyre not ‘in conjunction’ they are the same company.
Theyve been doing golf shoes for a long time (just ebay asics golf shoes). Excellent quality but very Japanese in design.
