What you should know: FootJoy is celebrating 80 consecutive years as the No. 1 shoe on professional tours with the latest limited-edition drop in its Legends Series
The deep dive: FootJoy's roots in golf run deep, and now the company is celebrating 80 straight years as the top choice of professionals worldwide, looking back with pride and stepping forward with style in the third release of its Legends Series.
This latest drop honors the milestone that started it all — 1945, the year FootJoy began its uninterrupted run as the most-worn golf shoe on professional tours. That dominance didn't happen by accident. It traces back to 1927, when a savvy FootJoy sales rep, Miles Baker, convinced the U.S. Ryder Cup team to lace up in FJ shoes at the first-ever matches. That team won handily, and Johnny Farrell — a team member — kept his pair on en route to a U.S. Open title the following year. Word spread, and when shoe counts became official in 1945, FootJoy was already firmly established.
To mark the 80-year streak, FootJoy is releasing Drop III of its Legends Series — this one based on the sleek Premiere Series Packard. The shoe features navy and red accents with a bright red '1945' on the midsole, a subtle nod to the beginning of its iconic reign. The upper is crafted from hand-selected, full-grain leather for a classic look, while the VersaTrax+ outsole offers multidirectional grip.
Look for Adam Scott and several other FootJoy players to wear the Premiere Series Packard this week around Oakmont Country Club during the U.S. Open.
