Under Armour’s flagship golf shoe launches on February 6, offering perfect fit, power, consistency, comfort, and style.
Under Armour revolutionizes golf footwear with new fit technology
Under Armour opens a new chapter in golf performance footwear with the introduction of its Drive Pro Clone. Designed to help golfers move more naturally and play with greater confidence under changing conditions, the Drive Pro Clone addresses a longstanding challenge in golf shoes: traditional designs often struggle to adapt to the natural shape and movement of a golfer’s foot, limiting comfort and ultimately impacting player performance.
Rigid constructions can restrict a shoe’s adaptability during the swing, affecting overall fit and consistency on the course. The Drive Pro Clone offers an adaptive solution that responds to the golfer’s movements, ensuring a custom fit for the foot.
“Conventional golf shoes cause gaps, pressure points, and loss of power because they rely on a single, rigid form,” said Jake Haley, Senior Manager of Golf Footwear and Apparel at Under Armour. “With the Drive Pro Clone, we aimed to completely eliminate these compromises. Every golfer deserves a shoe that adapts to them, not the other way around. This design delivers a truly personalized fit that remains consistent from the first to the last swing.”
Consistent support from first to last swing
Central to this shoe’s innovation is Under Armour’s proprietary auxetic Clone upper material, which behaves less like a static fabric and more like a dynamic surface. By expanding, contracting, and adjusting to the unique geometry of the foot, Clone creates an adaptive fit that remains stable throughout an entire round, regardless of fatigue, terrain, or conditions.
“Clone conforms to the shape and movement of your foot, ensuring you receive the same support from the first to the last swing,” said Kyle Blakely, SVP of Innovation and Design Studio at Under Armour. “Because the material acts more like a dynamic surface than traditional textile or leather, athletes benefit from a more even fit, better energy transfer, and a more stable platform throughout the round.”
First tour victories already achieved
Combined with Under Armour’s Swing Support System, the Drive Pro Clone delivers more repeatable power and gives golfers greater confidence with every swing. This footwear innovation underscores Under Armour’s commitment to meeting golfers’ needs through materials science, precise design, and on-course tested performance.
The new shoe has already been used in numerous international tournaments, contributing to two wins on the DP World Tour: Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen claimed his first victory at the Australian Open in December, and Patrick Reed relied on the Clone’s fit and performance during his recent win at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
The Drive Pro Clone will be available in both spiked and spikeless versions starting February 6, priced at £160/€200 (spiked) and £140/€180 (spikeless). The shoe comes in four color variants: Black/Anthracite/Metallic Gold; Distant Grey/Midnight Navy/Metallic Silver; White/White/Metallic Gun Metal; and Stone/Gridiron Brown/Metallic Gun Metal.
