30/06/2009


Danish footwear brand Ecco has been named official footwear supplier to the 2009 Solheim Cup and will create special, limited-edition Team USA and Team Europe shoes for the women’s golf competition, taking place August 17-23 at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove, Illinois.

“We’re proud to continue our long-term partnership with the Solheim Cup,” said CB Tuite, general sales manager for Ecco Golf. “With the opportunity for players and staff to wear team shoes, as well as our presence in the merchandise pavilion, Ecco will receive tremendous exposure all week.”

“The Solheim Cup is one of the world’s premier sporting events and we’re looking forward to players on each team having the opportunity to compete in the comfort, performance and style of these uniquely patriotic shoes,” says Jesper Thuen, sponsor and event manager at Ecco Golf.

All Ecco golf shoes feature a network of built-in technologies, including a direct injected, PU-constructed midsole that creates a one-piece shoe construction, ensures durability, flexibility, lightness and weather resistance, and provides a high level of cushioning and comfort that does not break down over time.
