On February 13, 2024, New Balance’s new shoe release event “New Balance Golfers Summit 2024” was held at Otone CC in Ibaraki Prefecture. Approximately 100 people gathered at the venue, including contracted professionals Miyu Yamashita and Moene Inami.
No compromises in grip or walking comfort
Miyu Yamashita and Moen Inami also participated in “New Balance Golfers Summit 2024”.
This time, Moen Inami was named as a co-developer. Speaking of Inami, I still remember her victory at the 2023 TOTO Japan Classic, where she also wore the newly announced “Fresh Foam X 2500 v4.” When asked about the points she was particular about when co-developing the product, she answered, “If everything wasn’t good, I wouldn’t wear it, so I was particular about everything, including the grip and ease of walking.”She did not compromise on the development. He showed an attitude of not allowing it. She is particular about the details, such as “keeping the design as simple as possible with lots of white, and adding color only to the logo” and “I had the strings made in two colors.”
After actually wearing them, he said, “It’s great that my feet don’t hurt even if I suddenly take new shoes overseas where I don’t know the hardness of the grass.”
Regarding the hardness of the sole, he said, “If it’s too soft, you’ll get tired, and if it’s too hard, the soles of your feet may hurt, but the balance of hardness is just right.”
We took on the challenge of joint development without compromising on all the desired performance.
“I can fully demonstrate my performance with Fresh Foam X 2500 v4.”
Miyu Yamashita, who won the annual queen title in 2022 and 2023, said, “The shoe is more comfortable and fits better than the previous one, and it’s stable and easy to play.”
“Golf is a sport where you walk almost every day, so your feet are the most important thing.It’s very important not to get tired, but when I wear (Fresh Foam .
The midsole of the “Fresh Foam X 2500 v4” uses “Fresh Foam TPU parts are placed on the outsole to increase heel hold. There are three designs: spike laces “Fresh Foam X 2500 v4”, spike boa “Fresh Foam X2500 v4 BOA”, and spikeless boa “Fresh Foam All of them claim to have improved hold and stability when shooting and walking.
Inami’s focus on grip strength is truly impressive.
At the event, we will have an attraction where participants can experience the stability of the shoes. The idea is to address a par-3 hole on a slope that slopes in opposite directions.
Challenge the par 3 hole by addressing different slopes on the left and right sides.
At first glance, the slope may seem difficult to even stand on, but with the grip and stability of the Fresh Foam X 2500 v4, many participants were able to easily hit the shot. Even while walking and playing 18 holes, my feet didn’t hurt, and the holding power around the arch of my foot was excellent. I was able to experience the “evolved” functionality of the shoes that Inami and Yamashita highly praised.
“Fresh Foam X 2500 v4” is scheduled to be released from 10:00 on February 16, 2024. Why not aim to further improve your golf life by wearing New Balance golf shoes, which support the feet of countless professional golfers?
