PUMA Ignite Proadapt Golf Shoes Preview - Adapt or Get Left Behind

If you liked the shoes Rickie Fowler was wearing when he won the Waste Management Phoenix Open last month, PUMA Golf has some good news for you.  Their new Ignite Proadapt shoes, featuring Tour-proven stability, unparalleled traction, and extreme comfort will be available to all of us later next month. 

 

Fowler provided ideas and feedback to the PUMA team as they designed this new full-grain leather upper shoe that utilizes an outsole with Dual-Durometer Tornado Cleats for excellent traction, along with torsional stability provided from the full length Proadapt TPU outsole. 

PUMA Golf Product Line Manager, Andrew Lawson said, 

"During the footwear design and creation process, we work with our Tour team, utilizing their feedback to deliver shoes that reflect the feel and performance desired by the best golfers in the world.  Rickie was involved from the earliest stages of design, expressing his desire for an upper that provides a ton of support with premium styling." 

 

The Proadapt promise to deliver comfort, maximum stability, ground traction and motion control through your golf swing in a superior, sophisticated package.  They come equipped with a one-year waterproof warranty, and utilize the following key PUMA technologies. 

Pro-Fit Insole 

This ultra-soft, yet supportive PU insole provides excellent fit, performance, and long-lasting comfort on the course. 

Adaptive Fit System 

Dual-layer, decoupled collar construction utilizes premium full-grain leather materials and a molded comfort collar to provide the comfort of a running shoe, but the look of a high-end leather shoe. 

 

Atlantis Leather Upper 

Ultra-premium, full-grain leather upper delivers soft feel, enhanced quality, and sophisticated look. 

 

IGNITE Foam 

Revolutionary and proprietary PU foam provides ideal energy return, responsive comfort, stable cushioning, and superior step-in comfort eliminating typical new footwear "break-in period." 

Pro-Form TPU 

Premium TPU Outsole compound delivers high performance grip and abrasion resistance on all surfaces. 

Tornado Cleat 

A dual talon, low-profile cleat provides excellent traction and long-lasting abrasion resistance, and is easy to change out using the Fast Twist 3.0 system. 

 

The new Proadapt will be available on March 13th in three colors (White/Gray Violet; Black/Dark Shadow; and Gray Violet/White) at a price of $200.  In addition to the core Proadapt collection, PUMA will introduce several limited edition Proadapt shoes throughout the year.  Keep an eye out for the first two at the 2019 Arnold Palmer Invitational and PLAYERS Championship respectively.
