Under Armour has unveiled the 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 Under Armour’s signature Rotational Resistance Traction technology with a UA Storm knit design, the Charged Phantom SL delivers traction and comfort in abundance.
The shoe boasts UA’s Charged Cushioning platform throughout the midsole, which uses compression-molded foam to deliver ultimate responsiveness and durability.
Comfort is also enhanced through the bootie design and molded EVA sockliner, which provides step-in comfort with a sock-like fit and feel.
The lightweight, breathable knit upper also features strategic reinforcements designed to support the golf swing, ensuring there is no compromise on performance, while remaining highly water-resistant thanks to the UA Storm and Never-Wet 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.
“At Under Armour, we always put performance first. 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.”
