If you like limited edition equipment runs you’re in luck, because I have three for you this week as well as something very exciting regarding Mizuno irons. So let’s get on with it…
FootJoy up the ante with artistic shoes
I like golf shoes. So much so that I went to learn all about how they are designed and subsequently made. And I love pizza.
Put the two together and you’ve got this joyous result from FootJoy and FedEx, who are celebrating the artistic skills of patients from the St Jude Children’s Research Hospital on tour players’ shoes.
You may remember Justin Thomas wore shoes designed by St Jude patient Bailey in the 2019 WGC-FedEx St Jude Invitational, and this year FootJoy are upping the stakes with a whopping 30 stars set to have custom shoes, apparel, and gloves featuring patients’ designs.
There will be four prints featured from patients Ally, Caleb, Dakota and Nate which will be worn by JT, as well as Webb Simpson, Abraham Ancer, and Cameron Smith.
Thomas said: “Meeting Bailey and his family was such an amazing experience last year. FootJoy showed me the artwork from this year’s group of St Jude patients and, man, they are all so cool – but I just had to have the pizza one!”
How lovely to see FootJoy and the players embracing the idea and, if you like them as much as JT does, then you can get your hands on a pair too.
Let’s just hope they don’t cause you to slice the ball! (Sorry.)
