Danish brand ECCO have announced the extension of its hybrid sport-casual offerings with the launch of a Luxe “Lizzard” Golf Street and exciting additional Premier colour options for 2012.

With the most durable outsole of any hybrid shoe on the market, Golf Street features 100 molded TPU traction bars that have been shown to last five times longer than rubber. The patented design ensures superior grip and comfort when walking on the course or around town. Like all ECCO golf shoes, each pair is constructed using a Direct Injection process that provides superior cushioning, stability and comfort via a one-piece shoe that’s built without glue or stitching.

“Golf Street created an entire footwear category, and it remains the only hybrid shoe that’s delivered the necessary comfort, traction and stability under wet conditions during a major championship,” says Michael Waack, Head of Global Golf at ECCO. “Our foot-first approach to design is completely unique, and it starts with using the highest quality materials.” 

With uppers combining smooth and reptile printed full-grain cowhide, Golf Street Luxe “Lizzard” embodies ECCO status as one of the world’s largest luxury leather producers. This is furthered by a “Second Skin Lining,” which is made from the world’s softest leather. Developed exclusively at the ECCO network of tanneries, the ultra-premium material is extremely breathable, wicks moisture and creates a rich interior feel.

ECCO men’s golf shoes are worn in competition by scores of international Tour stars, including Graeme McDowell, Fred Couples, Thomas Bjorn, Stuart Appleby, Thongchai Jaidee, Thorbjørn Olesen, Andreas Hartø and many others.
