ECCO Golf – Unveiling a contemporary lifestyle twist with the new Street 720 golf footwear model

August 6, 2024 – Global golf footwear pioneers, ECCO Golf, have once again pushed the boundaries of comfort, style and innovation with the introduction of the sneaker-style ECCO Golf STREET 720 as part of the Danish brand’s Autumn/Winter 2024 collection.

A golf shoe designed to be worn all day and night, the fresh new model offers big city vibes with a birdie mentality, making it perfect for a night out on the town or a quick 9 holes – or both!

Based on a sneaker from ECCO’s lifestyle collection, the new ECCO Golf STREET 720 represents an invitation to the game for everyone, making it simple to lace up, get out on the course, and then head out to enjoy some post-round vibes.

With the E-DTS TWIST outsole added for multi-directional traction, you can play now and play anywhere, anytime, on and off the course. Sporty, smooth and perforated ECCO leather elevates the urban, versatile look of the hybrid shoe for men and women that comes in a choice of colourways, including all-white and colour-block styles.

From the streets to the fairways, your feet will stay dry and comfortable with GORE-TEX Surround for waterproof protection and breathability, along with innovative midsole channels that enable air ventilation. While the ECCO Golf STREET 720 looks like a sneaker, it performs like a golf shoe, with technical features including enhanced stability.

Timo Vollrath, Head of Global Marketing at ECCO Golf, commented: “We are always looking to push the boundaries between what is considered a golf shoe and a shoe that can be worn away from the course – and with STREET 720 we have taken those lines and blurred them even further!

“This design is truly an introduction to the game for anyone who sees golf and lifestyle as two things that go-hand-in hand, and we are excited to see the STREET 720 on fairways and in cities across the world. It’s a fresh new design with the performance qualities that are synonymous with ECCO shoes, and we are proud to continue to drive forward innovation in golf shoe design.”

May 13, 2024 – Global footwear pioneers, ECCO Golf, have unveiled a special-edition capsule collection that celebrates all the different, and sometimes unexpected, flavours of golf.

Inspired by the energy of golf’s vibrant style-driven fashion culture – where golf shoes and clothing are worn as style statements as well as on the course – the new collection is playful, youthful, and fashion-forward.

From pistachio to stracciatella, and from raspberry to hazelnut-honey, the four limited-edition shoes are each styled to look like a flavour of ice cream – one of the world’s most loved foods – and as such there’s something for everyone in this collection.

Each shoe in the capsule collection features a marble effect that resembles the indulgent swirls of melting ice cream while the ECCO logo on the insole has been transformed into the shape of an ice cream cone, hinting at the fun and inclusive nature of golf.

Timo Vollrath, Head of Global Marketing at ECCO Golf, commented: “This capsule collection represents a huge opportunity for ECCO Golf – to both step forward in golf fashion and to step outside of the box that confines the sport. We are always looking to innovate at ECCO Golf, and we’re excited to bring this collection of chic new styles to life!”

You can find your flavour in the capsule collection, with fresh, or even refreshing, takes on existing shoes, including the Raspberry edition of the women’s ECCO Golf TRAY with its playful, pink accents. The ‘Stracciatella’ version of the men’s ECCO Golf CLASSIC HYBRID, with its white leather and a ‘chocolatey’-style outsole, has a penny loafer design that holds up a ball marker.

Additionally, the women’s edition of the ECCO Golf BIOM C4 is offered in Hazelnut-Honey with rich, brown accents, while the men’s version of the shoe comes in ‘Pistachio’ with green accents.

The New Flavour of Golf collection is fashion mixed with functionality and athletic performance, in shoes that are built with ECCO’s advanced technologies and rich, premium leathers. Coming May 13th.

ECCO Golf – The Groundbreaking LT1 Golf Shoe with Brand-new ECCO LYTR Technology, unveiled

February 14, 2024 – Global golf footwear innovators, ECCO Golf, has introduced their latest game-changing innovation, the ECCO Golf LT1. The shoe sets a new standard in lightness and comfort, redefining the golf shoe experience with the introduction of ECCO’s groundbreaking LYTR technology.

At the heart of the LT1 shoe lies ECCO’s most recent technological advancement: ECCO LYTR. This revolutionary tech combines ECCO’s renowned FLUIDFORM technology with all-new ECCO LYTR Foam, a cutting-edge material engineered to deliver unparalleled cushioning and rebound. ECCO LYTR Foam is seamlessly integrated into the shoe’s sole using FLUIDFORM technology, and when combined with ECCO’s ultra-soft PHORENE material in the midsole, it creates a flexible, cloud-like sensation for the wearer.

ECCO LYTR represents a seismic shift in golf shoe innovation as ECCO Golf has reimagined the mechanics of both walking and golfing. The LT1 is not just about extraordinary comfort. ECCO has also integrated a number of their other advanced technologies into the shoe, including the E-DTS NET design on the outsole, an evolution of the acclaimed DYNAMIC TRACTION SYSTEM. This ensures exceptional durability and provides golfers with unrivalled multi-directional traction for superior performance on-course.

The ECCO Golf LT1 also offers a sporty, contemporary look, with an outsole that provides a modern visual twist to the shoe. Notably, the shank, which guarantees stability and prevents twisting, is visible through the sole, adding a vibrant pop of colour to the overall design.

Additionally, the brand-new model will be available in both a lace and BOA style for both men and women, and feature a waterproof membrane that keeps the foot dry and comfortable in wet conditions.

Timo Vollrath, Head of Global Marketing at ECCO Golf, stated: “The ECCO Golf LT1 is a game-changer in every sense.

ECCO Golf – Ambassador Lydia Ko starts 2024 in style with victory at 2024 HGV Tournament of Champions

January 22, 2024 – ECCO Golf ambassador, Lydia Ko, delivered a calm and collected weekend performance in tricky Floridian conditions to secure victory at the HGV Tournament of Champions at LPGA Tour.

Battling against cold and windy weather, Ko showed the steely Sunday nerves that her fans have become so accustomed to over the years, shooting a two-under-par 70 for a two-shot winning margin.

Ko’s victory on Sunday at her ‘home away from home’, Lake Nona GC, was her 20th LPGA Tour win – elevating her into an illustrious club that features some of women’s golf’s most famous names, and bringing her to the brink of booking her place in the LPGA Hall of Fame.

Wearing her own signature edition ECCO BIOM G5, Ko’s victory represents a flying start to the season for the Kiwi.

“I thought I would cry but nothing is coming out,” Lydia Ko commented following the win. “As much as the season was not the way that I would’ve wanted going into 2023, I felt like I still finished strong. That gave me good momentum for this year. 

“I’m not going to think about it much,” Ko commented on the prospect of entering the LPGA Hall of Fame. “I just have to strive to be the best golfer I can. If my career leads me to becoming a Hall of Famer, that’s awesome. I’m just a South Korean-born Kiwi playing this game of golf, and who knew I would be standing here and have played in the Olympics and have won on our Tour?”

Timo Vollrath, Head of Global Marketing at ECCO Golf, added: “It was a real pleasure to see Lydia deliver such an assured performance this week, and to kick off her year in such an amazing way.

“Everyone at ECCO Golf can’t wait to see Lydia in the winners’ circle again plenty of times this season, and we are looking forward to offering our continued support throughout the year.”

ECCO Golf – Ambassador Lydia Ko wins inaugural Grant Thornton Invitational with ECCO BIOM G5 footwear

December 13, 2023 – ECCO Golf ambassador, Lydia Ko, delivered a stellar performance this week at Tiburon Golf Club, as she and her playing partner triumphed at the inaugural Grant Thornton Invitational.

The tournament was the first co-sanctioned PGA Tour and LPGA Tour event since 1999, and saw players from each tour team up in pairs over three rounds.

Wearing her signature edition ECCO BIOM G5, Ko and her playing partner went into the final round knowing they would need to go low to come out on top, and duly delivered as they combined to shoot a six-under-par 66 on Sunday.

The win, which came against 15 other teams featuring a host of the world’s best players from both the men’s and women’s game, is the perfect way for Ko to return to the winner’s circle and prepare for the 2024 season.

“Obviously, this is the best way to cap off a year like I had. I won the first event of the season and I won the last one. I would like to cut everything in between. But in saying that, all those moments make you the player you are now,” commented Lydia Ko.

“I think this has just been a great start for the two tours coming together and having a mixed event, and I really hope this is something that continues for a long time,” she added.

Timo Vollrath, Head of Global Marketing at ECCO Golf, added: “It was a real pleasure to see Lydia deliver such an assured performance this week, and to cap off 2023 in such a positive way. This was such a brilliant tournament to see Lydia involved in, and to deliver such a great performance and walk away with the trophy is fantastic.

“Everyone at ECCO Golf is proud of Lydia this week, and we look forward to continuing our support into the 2024 season,”added Vollrath.

ECCO Golf – An inspired Sunday secures second PGA Tour title for ambassador Erik van Rooyen

November 7, 2023 – ECCO Golf ambassador, Erik van Rooyen, delivered a sensational Sunday afternoon comeback to win the World Wide Technology Championship 2023 in Mexico.

van Rooyen, who was battling to secure his PGA Tour status at the start of the week, sat four shots adrift at the turn on Sunday afternoon, before shooting an incredible back-nine 28 to triumph by two shots.

Wearing his own signature edition ECCO BIOM H4, van Rooyen secured his second PGA Tour title in what was an emotional week for the trailblazing South African – as his college teammate and close friend Jon Trasamar battles against cancer.

“I was calm because there’s bigger stuff in life than golf,” commented an emotional van Rooyen. “Every shot out there today was for him. And when you’re playing for something bigger than winning some silly trophy, it puts things in perspective.

“So I wasn’t calm all the time, but when I step onto the golf course, I have a job to do and that’s what it comes down to at the end of the day, do your job – and now we can celebrate and cry.”

Timo Vollrath, Head of Global Marketing at ECCO Golf, added: “It was a real pleasure to see Erik return to the winner’s circle this week. Not only to see him lift a PGA Tour trophy again, but to do it with so much going on behind the scenes is hugely impressive.

“Everyone at ECCO Golf is proud of Erik’s victory this week, and we look forward to seeing him hopefully add more titles to his name over the coming months,” added Vollrath.

In addition to Erik van Rooyen, ECCO Golf shoes are worn in competition around the world by Caroline Masson, Nanna Koerstz Madsen, Niklas Norgaard Moller, Lydia Ko, Doc Redman, Henrik Stenson, Esther Henseleit, Freddy Schott and Thomas Bjørn, among others.

Koenig’s remarkable journey, ‘The RGV Tour 2.0,’ has been a monumental endeavour – he originally set himself the target of playing a staggering 500 golf courses across a 365 day period – and is set to complete that tally ahead of the Tour’s finale in January. His passion and determination have now rewritten the record books, surpassing the previous record of 449 courses set back in 2009.

Throughout the challenge, Koenig exclusively relied on ECCO Golf shoes, and has fully utilised the brand’s exceptional comfort and durability throughout the world record attempt. Koenig commented: “There are no other golf shoes that I would rather have played 450 different golf courses in besides ECCO. They are comfortable, perform exceptionally well and are built to last. It’s the perfect recipe for this world record achievement.”

Timo Vollrath, Head of Global Marketing at ECCO Golf, expressed his admiration for Koenig’s remarkable feat, commenting: “We’re really proud to have partnered with Patrick during his World Record attempt. It’s a great honour to support Patrick during a year in which he spent a lot of time in his golf shoes.

“Huge congratulations to Patrick for this incredible achievement, and we are delighted that ECCO Golf shoes have completed the record-breaking 450 courses with him!”
