Srixon/Asics have today introduced a new golf footwear model in partnership with Asics North America: the Gel-Kayano Ace.

The Gel-Kayano Ace delivers a spikeless, waterproof golf shoe with a TPU Heel Cradle that is designed to provide increased traction while walking the course and throughout a player’s golf swing.

The TPU Heel Cradle works in conjunction with Asics Gel Technology to increase shock absorption, while a flexible waterproof mesh lining keeps feet dry in the wettest conditions. In addition, FlyteFoam Technology ensures a lightweight golf shoe that can withstand round after round.

Speaking on the new addition, Mike Powell, President of Sales and Marketing at Srixon/Asics said

“Our partnership with Asics, one of the biggest global sports brands in performance footwear, has been a tremendous benefit for both our brands. By introducing the Gel-Kayano Ace, we’re excited to bring golfers the legendary Kayano comfort and performance on the golf course.”

Here’s a rundown of the key technology of the shoe:

Lightweight Frame Work and Flexibility: Asics FlyteFoam provides lightweight shock absorption and plenty of durability and support for golf. Asics Gel technology is strategically placed for maximum comfort under the heel.
Flexible Waterproof Upper: Flexible mesh provides a comfortable fit, while a thin waterproof PU lining keeps your feet dry in wet conditions.
Supportive Fit: Air mesh and a TPU heel cradle provide a flexible yet supportive fit. Additional ankle padding helps ensure a custom fit that adapts to every move.
Golf Specific Tooling: The FG traction sole pattern places spikes exactly where they need to be for stability and traction while walking the course. Featuring GEL cushioning for increased shock absorption, while Toe and Lateral rubber wraps help maintain stability throughout the golf swing.

The Gel-Kayano Ace launches on April 1st, costs $169.99 and is available in the following color codes: White/Midnight; Metropolis/Gunmetal; Glacier Grey/Pure Silver; White/White.
