First look: Puma unveil new BioDrive golf shoes

5 Puma Golf has introduced BioDrive – the next generation of golf footwear designed for performance, training and versatility on and off the course.

BioDrive’s three performance zones provide superior grip and control on course, utilising multiple decoupled octagon shaped pods in the forefoot for flexibility and increased ground contact and traction. 

“Training in the gym and on the course is important for golfers of all levels. And when you need to go from the weight room to the range it’s vital to have the right footwear,” said Joey D Diovisalvi, a golf fitness expert and Cobra Puma Golf ambassador.

the BioDrive’s silhouette is designed to mimic a fast, athletic shoe while the outsole is inspired by features of a traditional golf shoe" “It’s a great performer on the course that allows the golfer to grip the ground through their swing but can also be worn to the gym. From a biomechanics standpoint, it provides the flexibility, stability and balance necessary for optimal performance.”

Infused with Puma Golf’s signature colors and progressive golf style, the BioDrive’s silhouette is designed to mimic a fast, athletic shoe while the outsole is inspired by features of a traditional golf shoe. 

The outsole contains 10 strategically positioned octagons providing 130 unique points of traction. The shoe comes with a 2-year waterproof warranty.  

“The BioDrive was literally designed from the ground up. Starting with the outsole we focused on three zones – the heel, the midfoot and the forefoot – keeping in mind all the elements important to a golfer – comfort, fit, flexibility and balance,” said Grant Knudson, head of footwear, Puma Golf.
