Under Armour’s flagship golf shoe launches Feb 6, offering golfers perfect fit, more power, consistency, and exceptional comfort and style.
Under Armour revolutionizes golf shoes with new fit technology
Under Armour opens a new chapter in golf performance footwear with the Drive Pro Clone. Designed to help golfers move naturally and play with more confidence in varying conditions, it addresses a long-standing challenge in golf shoes: traditional designs often fail to conform to the natural shape and movement of a golfer’s foot, limiting comfort and adversely impacting 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 moves with the golfer, ensuring a personalized fit for the foot.
“Traditional golf shoes cause gaps, pressure points, and power loss because they’re built on a single rigid form,” says Jake Haley, Senior Manager of Golf Shoes and Apparel at Under Armour. “With the Drive Pro Clone, our goal was to eliminate these compromises entirely. Every golfer deserves a shoe that adapts to them, not the other way around. This design delivers a truly individualized fit that stays consistent from the first to the last swing.”
‘Consistent support from first to last swing’
The innovation centers on the proprietary auxetic Clone upper material, which behaves less like a static fabric and more like a dynamic surface. By expanding, contracting, and adapting to the unique geometry of the foot, Clone creates an adaptive fit that remains consistent throughout an entire round regardless of fatigue, terrain, or conditions.
“Clone adapts to the shape and movement of your foot, ensuring you get the same support from first to last swing,” says Kyle Blakely, SVP of Innovation and Design Studio at Under Armour. “Since the material acts more like a dynamic surface than conventional textiles or leather, athletes benefit from a more even fit, better energy transfer, and a more stable platform throughout the round.”
First tour wins already achieved
Combined with Under Armour’s Swing Support System, the Drive Pro Clone delivers more repeatable power and greater confidence with every swing. This golf shoe innovation highlights Under Armour’s commitment to meeting golfers’ needs through material science, precise design, and performance tested on course.
The new shoe has already been used in numerous international tournaments and contributed to two wins on the DP World Tour: Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen captured his first victory at the Australian Open in December, and Patrick Reed trusted the fit and performance of the Clone during his recent win at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
The new Drive Pro Clone is available in both spiked and spikeless models and will be in stores starting February 6. The recommended retail price is £160/€200 (spiked) and £140/€180 (spikeless). The shoe will also come in four color variants: Black/Anthracite/Metallic Gold; Distant Grey/Midnight Navy/Metallic Silver; White/White/Metallic Gun Metal; Stone/Gridiron Brown/Metallic Gun Metal.
