Under Armour’s flagship golf shoe launches February 6, delivering perfect fit, power, consistency, and exceptional comfort and style.
Under Armour opens a new chapter in golf performance footwear with the introduction of the Drive Pro Clone. Designed to help golfers move more naturally and play with greater confidence under varying conditions, this shoe addresses a longstanding challenge: traditional golf shoe designs often struggle to adapt to the natural shape and movement of a golfer’s foot, limiting comfort and negatively impacting performance.
Rigid constructions can restrict shoe 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 custom fit.
“Traditional golf shoes cause gaps, pressure points, and power loss because they rely on a single, fixed shape,” said Jake Haley, Senior Manager for Golf Footwear and Apparel at Under Armour. “With the Drive Pro Clone, we aimed to eliminate these compromises entirely. Every golfer deserves a shoe that adapts to them, not the other way around. This design offers athletes a truly personalized fit that remains consistent from the first swing to the last.”
Under Armour revolutionizes golf shoe fit technology
At the core of this shoe’s innovation is the proprietary auxetic Clone upper material, which behaves less like a static fabric and more like a dynamic surface. Expanding, contracting, and adjusting to the unique geometry of the foot, Clone creates an adaptive fit that stays consistent throughout the entire round, regardless of fatigue, terrain, or conditions.
“Clone adapts to your foot’s shape and movement, ensuring you receive consistent support from the first swing to the last,” said Kyle Blakely, SVP of Innovation and Design Studio at Under Armour. “Because the material behaves more like a dynamic surface than traditional textiles or leather, athletes benefit from a more even fit, improved 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 gives golfers greater confidence on every swing. This innovation in golf footwear underscores Under Armour’s commitment to meeting golfer needs through material science, precise design, and performance tested on tour.
The new shoe has already been worn at multiple international tournaments contributing to two DP World Tour victories: Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen secured his first win at the Australian Open in December, and Patrick Reed trusted the fit and performance of the Clone for his recent win at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
The Drive Pro Clone is available both in spiked and spikeless versions and will be released on February 6. Recommended retail prices are £160/€200 (spiked) and £140/€180 (spikeless). It also comes in four color variations: Black/Anthracite/Metallic Gold; Distant Grey/Midnight Navy/Metallic Silver; White/White/Metallic Gun Metal; Stone/Gridiron Brown/Metallic Gun Metal.
