Under Armour launches Charged Phantom SL shoe

Under Armour has launched the all-new Charged Phantom SL shoe, which promises to offer ‘the comfort of your favourite pair of trainers with all the performance and traction of a traditional golf shoe’.

Combining a rubber nubbed sole with a compression-molded foam midsole and a knitted-style upper design, the Charged Phantom SL delivers traction and comfort in equal measure.
A bootie design provides a sock-like fit and feel, allowing golfers to slip them on without needing to undo the laces.
The lightweight, breathable knit upper also features strategic reinforcements designed to support the golf swing, while remaining highly water-resistant thanks to the special treatment that keeps your feet cool and dry.
Jake Haley, senior product manager for Under Armour Golf, said: “We are really excited about bringing the successful Under Armour Phantom trainer into golf. The Phantom training shoe is the most popular Under Armour model across the globe, with a style and aesthetic that really encapsulates our brand, we know this strategy of turning a trainer into a golf shoe has been done plenty in the world of golf footwear, but we differentiate ourselves by still building this trainer on a true golf performance midsole and outsole.
“In fact, this midsole and outsole was one of the best testing packages in our biomechanics work with JJ Rivet. So not only are we delivering a shoe that looks more athletic and feels more comfortable than any golf shoe you have ever worn, but it is built to support the biomechanics of the golf swing.”RRP £100, www.underarmour.co.uk
