BEHIND THE DESIGN


In celebration of golf’s first major of 2022, don’t miss out on this new collectible men’s shoe, equally stylish on and off-course.

Our Creative Director and Founder, Alex Bartholomew, responsible for this limited edition, said: "It's a pleasure to work with a colour scheme so iconic in the world of golf, and I am delighted with the outcome of this project. I hope the patrons will be too!"

COMFORT & STYLE


This limited edition is based on our updated Pontiac V2, new for 2022, it's luxurious white, Italian, tumbled leather uppers and green highlights create a clean and eye-catching design. This refresh of a long-time favourite puts the emphasis on comfort, with padded tongue and ankle collar, as well as ultra-soft leather linings, including bio-mechanically-designed insoles. The addition of the signature Royal Albartross full leather welt completes this golf sneakers stylish artisanal look.

Alex, added: "We focused on this being a laid-back shoe, but felt adding the striking azalea- inspired floral pattern to the heel panel, it was a fitting nod to the imagery we have come to know so well." In addition, the shoe is finished with subtle but contrasting yellow and rye green elements that give this collectible a very different look to the rest of the Pontiac V2 Collection

LIGHTWEIGHT


The Pontiac V2 Major is anchored by our lightweight Nova-01 sole, which provides a sure grip and stability.

A rubber cup sole construction, the Nova-01 provides a lightweight play experience, yet stable base. Micro-textured heel and toe areas offer 360 degree traction across the entire surface area, giving the wearer all around grip with no compromise on different areas of the foot.

QUATREFOIL TRACTION PATTERN


The computer engineered quatrefoil traction pattern has been designed to provide superior grip and stability on and off the course. With specifically placed geometric multi-directional lugs, focusing on key pressure points, the Nova-01 outsole gives the wearer a feeling of all day comfort and rotation during play.
