When the world watches the U.S. Open this year from Torrey Pines, we want to make sure our FootJoy players stand out from the crowd. That’s why we’ve created some exclusive products for our players so they can not only fly the nation’s colors but look their best as they chase the championship. Check out the slideshow to see some sweet new FJ products that will make their debut on the first tee at Torrey Pines. You might even catch a glimpse of some products in the upcoming 2008-2009 FootJoy line…

I really want the SCIFlex American glove! Are those going to be for sale?

What a great idea !! Are these products available to the public? I consider myself very patriotic and would very much like to show my pride in my country.

Thanks to everyone for their excitement and interest in our special U.S. Open products.

We have a few different red, white and blue shoes featured in this article. The first are custom Classics which can be ordered though a golf shop near you. The second bunch that were featured are MyJoys shoes. You can not only order the shoes you see in this slideshow, but you can customize a pair of shoes from tens of thousands of different style, color, and size options. Visit http://www.myjoys.com for more information. MyJoys can also be ordered from any golf shop that carries FJ products.

The glove shown is actually a “special make-up” style that we had rushed in just in time for the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. While this exact style is not available to the public, SciFlex gloves are available in golf shops nationwide in an array of different colors (including red and blue). Check out the full color selection of of SciFlex gloves at http://www.footjoy.com/catalog/mens.asp?c=147 .

You can see by the response and that this is most interesting golf glove I have seen. Why do you put something on your site if it’s not available to us, the little guy, that makes up the most of your market. Put out the American SciFlex Glove so we can all enjoy them!

I looked at the gloves available. I want the pictured glove with the stars. You have a winner in this glove. I can’t believe they are not out now. Read the feed back, there are several people wanting them. Come on people, get this glove out on the market.

I hope you will make the gloves for women also. We like to show support, too.

 
john harrison wrote on June 10 2008 at 12:41:20 AM

Hey, thanks for the info, but I want “that” glove, in that style and colors. What is the difference between the “special make-up” and some ordinary SciFlex glove? What ever it is, that’s what I want. Are you saying consumers are NOT special enough to warrant being able to purchase one of these gloves? If your player reps play one thing and sell me another, what good is it? Being able to play the same course, the same equipment as the pros is what got me turned onto golf in the first place, Please don’t break my heart, please, say it ain’t so and let us order these gloves.

I do not wish to be offensive, just passionate.

I hope you provide those gloves in women’s sizes as well! Thank you.

How do I order. I would like to buy a glove.

Thanks

Wow… the response to the US Open Tour Glove Prototype has been overwhelming! Thanks for giving us such positive and honest feedback.

After the footwear team made the special MyJoys shoes for Augusta, we thought creating a similar approach to gloves would be interesting, and that it is!

As Mike Lowe has mentioned, we reacted within a short lead time to get these special prototypes made for the US Open. They arrived just in time to ship last Friday. I have received many requests; consumers, trade and within our company.. Based on the response, I wish I had one myself!

This opportunity and many others like it are brand new and based on your feedback, it is something we will explore. Be sure to stay tuned to the FJ Blog for more unique products, interesting discussions and more fun conversions both on and off the course!

I concur with all of the comments related to the golf glove. I already have several pairs of customized FootJoys including the red, white and blue patent leather classics each matching a SciFlex glove. As others have stated, why tease and show us an outstanding item that is not available to us the consumer and the mainstay of you market. Make the American SciFlex Glove available to us, so we can all proudly show our colors and USA pride.
