FootJoy is throwing it all the way back to 1857 — the year the company came into existence — with its new 100 percent leather golf shoes and casual shoes. As part of the 1857 collection, FootJoy also has new suede shoes and a bevy of apparel.

The leather golf shoes and dress shoes, according to FootJoy, are made one-by-one by hand, and they take about 36 hours each to make.

The 1857 collection becomes available on July 1st, says the company. The cleated golf shoes will sell for “around $750,” the dress shoes will sell for “around $595,” and the Suede shoes will sell for “around $475.”

Check out more photos of the shoes and apparel below, and see all off our photos from the 2018 PGA Show here.

    Someone at FJ needs to be fired along with all the other clowns who told him this was good work.

    Those shoes look like the armor Gary Oldman wore in Bram Stoker’s Dracula.

    They have to be a collector’s item… since I know of no golf courses that allow spikes. Anybody out there miss the day of the sound of golf cleats in the parking lot of your favorite course, Sunday morning, click, click, click…

      They all allow soft spikes. I don’t see any of these shoes with metal spikes. I know the word cleated was used, but I think it was misused.

    At first glance, I thought it was body parts like ribs…then I looked again and it looked like bacon…to then realize it was a golf shoe. hmmm

New Level launches new 480-DB irons, blending performance and forgiveness

Published

on

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.
