Under Armour Spieth 3 golf shoe features an all-new traction system
In collaboration with three-time major champion Jordan Spieth, Under Armour has released their latest golf shoe, the Spieth 3.
On the Spieth 3, Under Armour also consulted J.J. Rivet, a leader in biomechanics at the European Tour Performance Institute, and together developed an all-new traction system on the latest golf shoe.
The combination of Under Armour’s low-profile Rotational Resistance Spike (RST 2.0) and Softspikes Silver Tornado in the Spieth 3 looks to keep feet in contact with the ground for as long as possible. In doing so, it allows players to use the ground for leverage to power the swing and prevent slipping, which according to the company ensures maximum control while minimizing power loss.
Speaking on Under Armour’s new traction control system, Mike Forsey, Director of Global Golf Footwear, said
“Traction is what separates golf footwear from street shoes. Under Armour Golf continues to be the only golf footwear brand speaking to traction to support the golf swing. With the Spieth 3, we’ve added vertical traction elements which allow the golfer to naturally harness vertical force to bring more power to the ball at impact.”
The Spieth 3 features a lower overall weight construction than its predecessors and is a waterproof shoe with a woven jacquard in the forefoot of the shoe for breathability. The Spieth 3 also features a carbon-fiber plate on the EVA midsole for added stability.
Jordan Spieth penned an essay on the shoe, and in it he stated
“Forsey began working with J.J. Rivet, a biomechanist who is the chief expert on how a golfer’s body moves during the golf swing. Those two started talking about the Spieth 3 and J.J. introduced us to the Hendrix “Torsion” Bar, a structure in your foot that runs from your heel to your second toe.
“During your swing, if your weight shift stays balanced over the bar, you gain a new level of control over your body and can turn more efficiently. It’s a game changer. Every design detail of the Spieth 3 supports this concept, top to bottom. The result is not only my next signature, it actually sets up how we will tackle every shoe we design from here on out.”
The Spieth 3 is available to purchase now at UA.com and costs $200.

Their first generation Spieth shoe looked the best, later models have gotten progressively worse since.

I will hold off until I receive word from Aaron Oberholser or Notah Begay that these will improve my game.

Except, there is actually nothing new whatsoever, just patina masquerading as design

I hated the UA spikes. Gave the last shoes away. They’re trying too hard to be different, and it doesn’t work.

Are these shoes designed for a righthanded golfer? Does the technology work the same for us lefthanded players?

The only thing I can see that would be different for right- vs left-handed golfers in this shoe is that the Silver Tornado spikes look like they’d turn differently. If these are anything like the previous 2 Spieth shoes, the special “Rotational Resistance Spikes” are symmetrical across the shoes, 2 on the inside of both heels, and 2 on the outside of the toes.

They should try making it look like a golf shoe…
