Portland, OR — PAYNTR Golf, the fastest-growing golf footwear brand in North America, is proud to announce that the Eighty Seven SC, developed in collaboration with PGA Champion and former World No. 1 Jason Day, has been named “Editor’s Choice” for footwear by MyGolfSpy. The prestigious honor underscores the shoe’s performance-driven design, athlete-led development process, and classic aesthetic that sets a new benchmark in the footwear category.
Launched in October 2024, the Eighty Seven SC was born out of a 10-month design journey between Day and PAYNTR Golf. The shoe blends elite-level functionality with timeless styling and was the first of four models in the Classic Collection, with Match Day, Moving Day and All Day all launched in Spring 2025.
“MyGolfSpy’s recognition validates everything we set out to accomplish with the Eighty Seven SC,” said Mike Forsey, Co-founder and President of PAYNTR Golf. “We wanted to build a shoe that delivered a competitive edge while staying true to the classic look so many love. This award is a testament to our shared commitment to performance, comfort and style.”
Day began wear-testing the Eighty Seven SC at the 2024 Masters and provided direct feedback on materials, fit, support, and aesthetics throughout development. His input played a pivotal role in shaping a shoe engineered to meet the demands of professional players while elevating the experience for amateurs alike.
The Eighty Seven SC features:
- CLARINO Trivela™️ microfiber upper delivers lightweight support and flexibility
- WATERPROOF+ breathable membrane fused to lining and sealed with a waterproof bottom gasket.
- ARIAPRENE® tongue & bootie offers supreme foot lockdown to provide maximum stability and lightweight, breathable support.
- TPU Outsole, with Fast Twist insert system, delivers traction in three dimension for the life of the shoe.
- PMXNitro+ Footbed delivers lightweight, responsive cushioning for the life of the shoe.
- PMXNitro+ Midsole provides maximum energy return & ultimate underfoot support.
- CARBITEX GearFlex™️ propulsion plate allows golfers to more effectively harness ground reaction forces.
“This shoe is the purest expression of athlete collaboration we’ve ever undertaken,” said Michael Glancy, Co-Founder and Creative Director of PAYNTR Golf. “Jason’s insights, paired with our design and engineering capabilities, resulted in a product that’s already making an impact on Tour, and MyGolfSpy’s Editor’s Choice award confirms we’re meeting the mark. Jason challenged us creatively and technically, and the result is something truly special.”
In addition to his role as lead collaborator, Day is also an equity partner in PAYNTR Golf, signaling a deep, long-term commitment to the brand’s mission and future.
The Eighty Seven SC is available online and at select retailers for $220. It is more than just a golf shoe, it’s a statement piece built for those who demand performance and respect tradition.
