PUMA Golf PHANTOMCAT NITRO Golf Shoe - What You Need to Know

New PUMA Golf Shoe

The new PHANTOMCAT NITRO is designed with NITROGEN INFUSED FOAM in the heel to provide improved rebound and lightweight responsiveness with every step a player takes during the course of a round. To further increase comfort, a new anatomically shaped last with a generous toe box, which was developed through years of research, provides a better fit for a wider range of people.

In addition to the distinguished comfort and performance of the NITRO foam and new shaping, a unique and innovative FLEXSPIKE design provides a brand-new take on traction. Engineered to increase surface contact with the ground, the uniquely shaped, integrated cleats not only provide greater grip but also improve weight distribution, making the shoes lighter and more comfortable overall. The unique shape of the new FLEXSPIKES also features multiple traction elements, providing increased grip as the foot moves in different directions during the golf swing and while walking.

Other features of the PHANTOMCAT NITRO include full grain leather uppers with a 1-year waterproof guarantee, a TPU outsole base with spined secondary traction elements, and a moulded heel panel that locks the foot into place for improved control and stability.

“The PHANTOMCAT NITRO is our most advanced shoe to date,” said Andrew Lawson, Senior PLM Footwear, Puma Golf. “NITRO foam and FLEXSPIKE technology gives the golfer a combination of traction and comfort like never before. The feedback we’ve received from our Tour Athletes has been fantastic and I can’t wait for golfers to try this shoe.”

PHANTOMCAT NITRO shoes (£130) come in three colourways in men’s sizes 7-12.
