Jordan Spieth Debuts Spieth 2 Shoe
Ever since becoming an Under Armour sponsor, Jordan Spieth has been a huge marketing tool for the company with his shoe brand. Now, Spieth is unveiling the follow up model to his original golf shoe, the Spieth One.
Spieth traveled from Hawaii to Las Vegas on Thursday after playing in back-to-back tournaments. Upon arriving in Vegas, Jordan met up with two more Under Armour ambassadors, Bryce Harper and Michael Phelps, to play a quick round in the afternoon. The powerhouse trio tried out the new Spieth 2’s and they all seemed quite impressed with the shoe.
Phelps later joined Spieth at Vegas’ TopGolf location that evening to officially introduce the shoe to the world. Phelps had great things to say, telling those in attendance that “They were very, very, very comfortable.”
“I’m very picky with my shoes and I loved them.”

Spieth is happy with his design as well, saying, “This one is an improvement over the Spieth One, I’m excited to start wearing it at Phoenix in a couple weeks.”
The Spieth 2 has a lot of new technology advances that were previously absent from the Spieth One. For example, the sequel includes Gore-Tex waterproofing that blocks out all outside moisture, along with TPU fibers in the shoe’s upper, that gives the shoe more support without being heavier. And like the Spieth One, the Spieth 2 is included with spikes that are designed to resist rotational movement.
With all the new advancements, the Spieth 2 will cost a good chunk of money, starting at a hefty $200.
Regardless of the price, the Spieth 2 has come out with quite a lot of hype and now with Bryce Harper and Michael Phelps backing the shoe, the buzz is expected to only grow. So if you’re interested in a pair, make sure you get them fast before they’re all gone.
