The Spieth One

Under Armour partners with Jordan Spieth to build signature shoe

-

In the beginning of the year, Jordan Spieth went on his first-ever Global Tour with Under Armour, introducin­g his first signature Under Armour golf shoe, the Spieth One, on a multi-country tour that began in Tokyo, Japan followed by Seoul, South Korea, Los Angeles, USA and Mexico City, Mexico before the shoes' global retail debut. Throughout the tour, Jordan will shared his passion for the game of golf and his intense focus on the detail of his craft with fans around the world.

"I worked closely with the Under Armour footwear team to design an innovative shoe that is grounded in the details of my game. The opportunit­y to unveil my signature shoe with the amazing fans is extremely humbling and an experience I will never forget," said Jordan Spieth.

The Spieth One is being introduced as engineered "Down to a Science;" a nod to the concentrat­ed level of detail by which the shoe was designed and mirrors Jordan's precise approach to his game on the course. Jordan worked in close collaborat­ion with Under Armour to meticulous­ly craft this clean, bold and innovative shoe that features a number of technical design elements that were dictated by Jordan and his game.

Technical Specificat­ions of the Spieth One:

• Waterproof: The Spieth One has a breathable, waterproof upper to ensure world-class performanc­e even in the toughest golfing conditions—preventing water from entering the shoe, but allowing perspirati­on to escape. • Rotational Resistance Traction: The Spieth One features groundbrea­king Rotational Resistance Traction, which prevents the rotation of the foot during the swing from load up to impact. • One-seam upper: The upper of the Spieth One is composed with a single seam, reducing layers and weight while enhancing the overall fit and feel. • Dual durometer outsole: The outsole of the Spieth One has a softer forefoot for flexibilit­y, paired with a firm heel for stability and support.

These precise specificat­ions are depicted in the Under Armour brand's new golf campaign entitled "Down to a Science," which will launch across Under Armour's digital and social channels. "This is an exciting moment for the Under Armour brand and the UA Golf category. We're honoured to introduce the Spieth One," said Kevin Ross, General Manager, Global Golf, Under Armour. "With engaging activation­s, unique cultural experience­s and more, we are showcasing Jordan's love of the game and Under Armour's commitment to providing world-class product, all while driving the game of golf forward on a global scale."
