Eighty years. That’s how long FootJoy has been the king of golf footwear.
And honestly? They’re not letting you forget it.
To celebrate this milestone, FootJoy just dropped the third installment of their Legends Series collection. These aren’t your typical golf shoes – they’re basically museum pieces you can actually wear on the course.
Drop III features the Premiere Series Packard model, and it’s dripping with vintage vibes. We’re talking elevated navy and red accents that scream classic American golf style. But here’s the cool part: there’s a red “1945” emblazoned on the midsole. That’s the year FootJoy started their legendary run as golf’s #1 shoe brand.
jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) {
var slides = $( ‘#mgs_gallery_68489af18bd3e .mgs-gallery-images .mgs-gallery-image’ ).length;
if ( slides 6 ) {
slides = 6;
}
$( ‘#mgs_gallery_68489af18bd3e .mgs-gallery-images’ ).slick( {
slidesToShow: 1,
slidesToScroll: 1,
fade: true,
prevArrow: ‘‘,
nextArrow: ‘‘,
asNavFor: ‘#mgs_gallery_68489af18bd3e .mgs-gallery-thumbs’,

} );
$( ‘#mgs_gallery_68489af18bd3e .mgs-gallery-thumbs’ ).slick( {
slidesToShow: ( slides – 1 ), //less than number of slides, so it always shows infinite scroll (bugfix)
slidesToScroll: 1,

asNavFor: ‘#mgs_gallery_68489af18bd3e .mgs-gallery-images’,

},
}, {

},
},
],
} );
$( ‘#mgs_gallery_68489af18bd3e’ ).magnificPopup( {
delegate: ‘.mgs-gallery-trigger’,
type: ‘image’,
gallery: {

arrowMarkup: ”,
},
} );
} );
The craftsmanship is where things get serious. Hand-selected, premium full grain leather gives these shoes an iconic look that’ll make you feel like you stepped out of a 1950s golf magazine. These are for players who know the difference between good and great – and aren’t afraid to pay for it.
But FootJoy didn’t just phone it in with looks alone. They supercharged these beauties with their VersaTrax+ outsole. Multiple traction elements work together to create a system that performs on any surface. Cart path? Covered. Wet fairway? No problem. Sand trap recovery shot? You’re golden.
That’s the thing about FootJoy – they’ve mastered the art of honoring the past while embracing the future. These shoes look like they belong in golf’s golden era, but they perform like they were built for today’s game.
Sometimes the gear doesn’t make the golfer. But sometimes, just sometimes, the right pair of shoes makes you feel like you could take on the world.
Or at least the back nine.
