Footjoy Released the HyperFlex Carbon Equipped With a Carbon Plate

— March 9, 2023 — Lifestyle
Golf footwear brand FootJoy debuts its latest golf shoe design called HyperFlex Carbon, a high-performance golf shoe fitting for golf practice to global tournaments. The golf shoe is part of Footjoy’s HyperFlex line, made for high performance in golf. FJ Footwear director of product management Patrick Trubiano spoke about the launch, saying: “The new HyperFlex and HyperFlex Carbon offer Tour-proven enhancements within the athletic silo, delivering unquestioned innovation, comfort, stability, and a visual design aesthetic that celebrates performance technology for the golfer athlete,”

HyperFlex Carbon is designed as a mid-height shoe with a heel raise, and the main feature is the molded carbon fiber power plate that provides more stability for golfers’ performance. It also has a reinforced saddle strap that wraps around the shoe. Additionally, the shoe consists of a complete waterproof technical mesh with a snug knit around the ankle, a Stratofoam for comfort, and additional underfoot cushioning with an OrthoLite Impressions FitBed. There are also six strategically placed Softspikes for traction on the grassy field. The shoe comes in three different colorways: white with red and blue accents, solid white, and solid black. The shoes are currently available for $200.
