Under Armour’s flagship Drive Pro Clone golf shoe launches February 6, offering perfect fit, power, consistency, and comfort.
Under Armour is opening 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 in changing conditions, the shoe addresses a longstanding challenge in golf shoe design: traditional shoes often struggle to conform to the natural shape and movement of a golfer’s foot, limiting comfort and negatively 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, adjusting to the golfer’s movements to provide a truly personalized fit.
“Traditional golf shoes cause gaps, pressure points, and loss of power because they are based 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 individualized fit that remains consistent from the first to the last swing.”
Adaptive Support from First to Last Swing
At the heart of the 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 adapting to the unique geometry of the foot, Clone creates an adaptive fit that remains constant throughout the entire round regardless of fatigue, terrain, or conditions.
“Clone adapts to the shape and movement of your foot, ensuring you receive the same support from your first to your 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 even fit, better energy transfer, and a more stable platform throughout the round.”
Proven Success on International Tours
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 underscores Under Armour’s commitment to meeting golfers’ needs through material science, precise design, and on-course tested performance.
The new shoe has already been used at numerous international tournaments and contributed to two victories on the DP World Tour: Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen secured his first win at the Australian Open in December, and Patrick Reed relied on the Clone’s fit and performance for his recent Hero Dubai Desert Classic victory.
The Drive Pro Clone will be available in both spiked and spikeless models starting February 6, priced at £160/€200 (with spikes) and £140/€180 (spikeless). It 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.
