After launching Sun Day Red with TaylorMade last February, Tiger Woods’ new brand took its time to introduce its first golf shoe. With the premium Pioneer Cypress model, the brand is on firm footing in the footwear market.
Building the Pioneer Cypress from the ground up and inside out, Sun Day Red delivered a golf shoe as classic as the 15-time major winner who helped create it. It packages luxury, style and comfort in its mission to build a better traditional shoe that positions the golfer low and close to the ground and offers maximum traction.
From its premium full-grain waterproof leather, V-throat upper lined with supple calfskin to its high density TPU outsole with nine-cleat removable soft spikes, the Pioneer Cypress ($250) offers style and durability. It also provides two removable high-rebound foam footbeds – one insole with custom massage nubs and the other smooth.
Woods insisted that his shoe feature a sleek 6mm heel-to-toe drop to allow the wearer to leverage the power of ground force without sacrificing support. A tiger-stripe deboss treatment in the heel pays homage to its muse.
The Pioneer Cypress offers three simple colorways: white/silver, black/silver and gray/navy. Two limited-edition ($275) Sun Day Red colorways – white/red and black/red – are available while supplies last.
