PGA champion and former World No. 1 golfer, Jason Day, and PAYNTR Golf, North America’s fastest-growing golf footwear brand, today announce the official launch of their highly anticipated collaboration: the PAYNTR Golf Eighty-Seven Speed Classic (SC), set to hit retail on October 4, 2024, with a price of $220.
This launch marks a groundbreaking moment of the 10-month process, marrying Day’s refined style with PAYNTR Golf’s advanced performance technology in an innovative, classic silo collection that will debut three additional Speed Classic models in Spring 2025. “This collaboration with PAYNTR Golf has been an incredible journey and the Eighty Seven SC is just the beginning,” said Jason Day. “From the moment I joined the PAYNTR Golf team, I’ve been deeply involved in every aspect of this shoe’s design, from concept to final product. Our goal has always been to create a true performance advantage for golfers without sacrificing
style or comfort—and I truly believe we’ve achieved that with the Eighty-Seven SC. We are excited to debut three more models to this collection in 2025.”
The PAYNTR Golf Eighty Seven SC is designed with both performance and comfort in mind. Day was highly involved in the development of the Eighty Seven SC from start to finish and personally began wear-testing the classic-looking silo during the 2024 Masters. Throughout the process, Day provided invaluable feedback to PAYNTR Golf’s engineering team on the shoe’s entire makeup from materials and styling to overall design. This intensive development process ensured that the Eighty Seven SC was optimized for both competitive and casual golfers.
The Eighty Seven SC represents a milestone in PAYNTR Golf’s innovative approach to footwear. This launch also continues their tradition of utilizing cutting-edge technology, such as the Full-Length Carbitex Directional Carbon Fiber Propulsion Plate, which boosts ground reaction forces, delivering more power and speed in the downswing. Combined with the waterproof and breathable Clarino Microfiber Performance Upper and TOUR Flex Pro Cleats, this shoe delivers unmatched comfort, stability, and performance for all types of course conditions.
One of the standout features is the 87 perforated holes in the design, which provide excellent breathability—an homage to Day’s lucky number, 87.
