The Under Armour Spieth 3 LE 'Academy' emerged from a collaboration with golf icon Jordan Spieth, marking the third iteration of his signature shoe. This model was meticulously designed to fuse the feel of a trainer with the demands of golf performance, reflecting Spieth's direct involvement in its development. The genesis of this shoe was rooted in a commitment to enhance the golfer's experience on the course.
The Spieth 3 is engineered for peak golf performance, designed to amplify stability and power during the swing. Its patented Rotational Resistance and Traction System (RST 2.0) works in tandem with Softspikes Silver Tornado, and vertical traction elements, offering superior grip. The shoe's design, including a firmer carbon fiber insert on the heel's outside, focuses on optimizing the golfer's control and power.
The Under Armour Spieth 3 LE 'Academy' immediately made its mark, specifically when Jordan Spieth himself unveiled the shoe at the Dallas National Golf Club in Dallas on January 28, 2019, during the Spieth 3 Unveiling and Photo Shoot. The shoe's official unveiling, also featuring Jordan Spieth on January 29, 2019, further cemented its status. The Spieth 3, with its advanced biomechanical design, influenced golf footwear, setting a new benchmark for performance.
The upper of the Spieth 3 is crafted with Clarino microfiber, complemented by a Smart Woven jacquard forefoot and heel counter, and a new triangular tongue design. Its materials include a carbon fiber insert, an EVA midsole, and a Gore-Tex membrane, ensuring both stability and weather resistance. The shoe's composition also features UA Storm Technology, underscoring its readiness for various playing conditions.
