ECCO extends deal with Couples

Tour legend Fred Couples will continue to compete in ECCO’s Golf Street shoes that first took the golfing world by storm at the 2010 US Masters.

The 51-year-old led after the first round at Augusta last year wearing the shoes and in difficult conditions, it was noted that he wasn’t wearing socks, preferring the feel of the Golf Street shoes on his bare feet.

As part of the multi-year agreement, Couples will be featured in ECCO’s global marketing and advertising initiatives, supporting the brand all over the world.

“I am thrilled to be continuing my relationship with ECCO,” said the American. “They are a fabulous company making some of the world’s most comfortable golf shoes. ECCO is also a leader in creating unique styles, like the Golf Street shoes that I can wear all day, on and off the course.

The Golf Street shoes are the world’s first hybrid sport-casual shoe and feature high grade uppers made from camel leather, while the moulded traction bars help provide excellent grip in all conditions.
