Under Armour’s flagship golf shoe launches Feb 6, offering perfect fit, power, consistency, and unmatched comfort and style.
Under Armour is opening a new chapter in golf performance footwear with the launch of its Drive Pro Clone. Designed to help golfers move more naturally and play with greater confidence under varying conditions, this shoe addresses a long-standing challenge in golf footwear: traditional designs often fail to adapt to the natural shape and movement of a golfer’s foot, limiting comfort and negatively affecting performance.
Rigid constructions can restrict a shoe’s adaptability during the swing, impacting overall fit and consistency on the course. The Drive Pro Clone offers an adaptive solution that moves with the golfer and provides a customized fit for the foot.
“Traditional golf shoes cause gaps, pressure points, and power loss because they are built on a single, fixed shape,” said Jake Haley, Senior Manager of 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 stays consistent from the first to the last swing.”
The Drive Pro Clone Golf Shoe’s Adaptive Fit Technology
At the core of the shoe’s innovation is the proprietary auxetic Clone upper material, which behaves less like a static fabric and more like a dynamic surface. By stretching, contracting, and conforming 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 consistent support from the first to the last swing,” 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 uniform fit, improved energy transfer, and a more stable platform throughout the round.”
Already Proven with Tour Victories
Combined with Under Armour’s Swing Support System, the Drive Pro Clone delivers more repeatable power and gives golfers enhanced confidence with every swing. This footwear innovation underscores Under Armour’s commitment to meeting golfers’ needs through material science, precise design, and on-course performance testing.
The shoe has already been used at numerous international tournaments and contributed 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 fit and performance of the Clone for his recent triumph at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
The new Drive Pro Clone is available in both spiked and spikeless models and will be on sale from February 6. The recommended retail price is £160/€200 (spiked) and £140/€180 (spikeless). The shoe will also come in four colorways: Black/Anthracite/Metallic Gold; Distant Grey/Midnight Navy/Metallic Silver; White/White/Metallic Gunmetal; Stone/Gridiron Brown/Metallic Gunmetal.
