Luxury golf fashion brand Duca del Cosma is today unveiling its
bold SS24 golf shoe range headlined by a pioneering lightweight outsole
technology and a host of vibrant new designs that dare to be different from other
models on the market.
The functional Airplay
15 outsole is applied to four new styles that enable golfers to
enjoy out-of-the-box comfort and game-enhancing performance by using the most
premium materials in a smart sole design. Crafted to reduce foot fatigue, while
maximizing support and stability through a sturdy and lightweight construction,
the outsole has been developed and tested in collaboration with brand
ambassadors, including DP World Tour star Joost Luiten and LPGA Tour player Kelly
Tan.
Standout golf shoes across the four distinctive style categories – ‘Pro’, ‘Fashion’, ‘Sporty’ and
‘Classic’ – include the ultra-modern DAVANTI men’s and chic OLIVERA women’s
sneaker-style designs; classic DAVINCI men’s style and dazzling AVIVA
women’s shoe in a prominent animal print; plus the limited-edition JUBILEE
and ALANA styles that are a nod to the brand’s 20-year
anniversary. Several award-winning shoes remain in the collection with the
addition of striking new colour combinations to elevate the product offering to
even greater heights.
“This latest range shows exactly why we dare to be different and continue
to push the boundaries of modern golf shoe design,” said Dolf Stoffberg, CEO at
Duca del Cosma. “These styles really bridge the gap
between on and off course wear, while featuring a stunning array of colours and
patterns to ensure golfers stand out for all the right reasons,” he added.
The Airplay 15 outsole features an advanced
dual-component build comprised of a high shock absorption
CMEVA midsole for added comfort and flexibility, plus an offset medial toe bumper and traction nubs on the durable
outsole unit to deliver optimal performance and uncompromising grip
during the golf swing. A strategically positioned heel-strike to the rear
of the outsole improves the walking gait and promotes a solid
stride.
Further innovations in the SS24 collection include a waterproof sock system with OnSteam® recyclable microfibre technology applied to several shoes, while
the breathable ARNEFLEX® insert sole is also manufactured using
recycled materials and delivers unrivalled all-day comfort. A total of 11
outsole technologies across four different Duca Fit Systems ensures there is a
golf shoe in the range to fit all foot types and sizes.
The DAVANTI shoe incorporates the super
technical Airplay 15 outsole to offer top golf shoe performance and ultimate
versatility. Offering a contemporary look, it can be worn on the course as well
as in everyday life and is made using a combination of premium Nappa leather
and abrasion resistant onDuraÒ Nilo technical nylon in contrasting colours to make a strong statement.
The waterproof construction delivers protection in wet conditions, while the
offset toe bumper provides extra durability on areas most prone to wear. The
top-quality design is available in three striking colourways – Light Blue,
Green/Grey and Marina.
The sophisticated DAVINCI shoe
enhances the brand’s popular classic golf shoe line-up and provides a truly
luxurious appearance for those seeking an extra special design to confidently
stride down the fairways. The waterproof shoe features an upper crafted from
embossed full-grain leather to offer incredible comfort straight out of the box
and is offered in White and Light Blue with a colourful Airplay 11 outsole to
catch the eye.
The award-winning POSITANO shoe is
now available in two new vivid colour combinations – White/Blue and
White/Blue/Red. The award-winning waterproof shoe features the ultra-lightweight D-EvaÒ outsole offering flexibility to ensure golfers
can enjoy the walk in a lighter shoe without sacrificing crucial foot support.
The limited-edition men’s JUBILEE and
women’s ALANA shoes have been designed to mark the brand’s 20-year
anniversary and deliver a superb individual look. Both shoes incorporate a
predominantly Red and White colour scheme and the new Airplay 15 outsole, while
the JUBILEE features a distinctive silver emblem to the side of the shoe for an
extra special look.
Among the
other popular shoes in the men’s collection for 2024 are the GIRONA in
three colours; sporty FLYER and GIORDANO shoes; plus the classic DANDY
and CHURCHILL styles. The award-winning BERNARDO and ORLANDO
pro spiked designs are carried forward.
The ultra-modern OLIVERA sneaker
style shoe spearheads the women’s offering with its advanced design and
supremely fashionable appearance. Crafted using various forms of premium Nappa
leather, the stylish shoe really stands out from the crowd, especially in the Orchid/Pink colourway, which has been a best-selling colourway amongst
stockists.
The dazzling AVIVA shoe with its
prominent animal print is sure to be popular with women golfers seeking a
luxurious pair of golf shoes this season. The bold design offers best-in-class
support via a heightened heel on the advanced Airplay 17 outsole and features a
lightweight and breathable upper to ensure feet remain cool and dry all day
long. For every pair sold, the brand will donate money to the Hoedspruit
Endangered Species Centre to help save the critically endangered King Cheetah
that inspired the pattern on the trendy shoe’s upper.
Designed with fashion-conscious golfers in
mind, the ALESI features an on-trend jacquard print with contrasting
details to offer a supremely elegant look and feel. Available in two
fashionable colours, the style incorporates the lightweight Airplay 17 outsole
with strategically positioned traction points for a seamless combination of
function and fit.
Other fashion-forward shoes in the women’s
collection are the award-winning SERENA, BELLEZZA and ALEXA
styles, plus the chic KING CHEETAH and BOREAL designs in two
standout colours. The SABINA and AVANTI pro spiked models are
