Finally, golf enthusiasts have something to celebrate! Tiger Woods’ Sun Day Red has unveiled the game-changing golf shoes we’ve all been eagerly anticipating. The brand’s latest release, the Presidio, marks a significant milestone as Sun Day Red dives headfirst into the world of high-performance spikeless golf footwear. Since its launch nearly two years ago, Sun Day Red has been anything but conventional. From daring apparel collections to footwear that unmistakably bears Tiger Woods’ signature style, the brand has swiftly established its unique identity—and it’s done so with remarkable finesse.
The footwear lineup, in particular, has been a standout success. The Pioneer Cypress remains a top contender among the best golf shoes available, while the Osprey has seamlessly blended lifestyle aesthetics with golf functionality. But here’s where it gets controversial: despite these achievements, one glaring omission in the lineup has been a full-fledged, tour-ready spikeless performance shoe—until now.
Enter the Presidio, officially unveiled by Sun Day Red (https://www.sundayred.com/). This spikeless golf shoe is unmistakably designed with one goal in mind: delivering uncompromising on-course performance while maintaining a sleek, stylish appearance. Making its debut at the PGA Show in Orlando on February 17, the Presidio represents the brand’s most technically advanced footwear offering yet.
At its core lies the innovative Torsional Traction Plate, featuring exposed traction lugs that mimic the grip of traditional spiked shoes—without the spikes. Combined with a TPU Lateral Stability Brace and an external heel counter, this shoe is engineered to provide unwavering stability throughout the swing. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just about performance; it’s about redefining what spikeless golf shoes can achieve.
Charley Hudak, Sun Day Red’s senior creative director of footwear, shed light on the design philosophy: “Our goal was to create the ultimate spikeless golf shoe—one that offers superior stability and ground connection without removable spikes. When you collaborate with Tiger Woods, the focus is always on elevating performance for elite golfers.”
Tiger’s influence is undeniable. Every detail of the Presidio appears purposeful, with the golf-specific elements reinforced precisely where they’re needed most. The result? A shoe that makes a strong first impression. Its sleek silhouette, premium athletic feel, and modern design set it apart from lifestyle sneakers masquerading as golf shoes.
Comfort hasn’t been overlooked either. A full-length EVA midsole, three-quarter bootie construction, and engineered foam padding ensure all-day comfort, even during a grueling 36-hole day. Meanwhile, the dual-durometer outsole adds versatility, making it suitable for both on and off the course.
Hudak confidently stated, “This is a spikeless golf shoe without compromise. We fully expect to see it on the biggest stages and at the most prestigious courses worldwide.”
I couldn’t agree more. If the Presidio performs as impressively as it looks—and if Sun Day Red’s track record is any indication—this shoe could be the missing piece that completes the brand’s lineup.
Stay tuned for my full review once I’ve put the Presidio through its paces on the course. But based on first impressions, this appears to be the spikeless performance shoe Sun Day Red has been building toward all along.
Now, here’s a thought-provoking question for you: With the Presidio’s launch, is Sun Day Red poised to redefine the spikeless golf shoe category, or will traditional spiked shoes remain the go-to choice for serious golfers? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
