The new Packard and Marquis for both men and women adds updated traction and comfort refinements in classic-looking leather designs.
FootJoy is updating one of the most recognizable silhouettes in golf footwear, and it’s doing so without abandoning what made the shoe popular in the first place.
The company has unveiled the 2026 Premiere Series, a refreshed lineup that blends traditional, dress-shoe styling with a series of performance upgrades aimed squarely at competitive players who want a high-performance, traditional shoe. According to Footjoy, Premiere Series models account for roughly 40 percent of shoes worn on the PGA Tour, and the new versions are built around feedback from Tour players and elite amateurs.

The men’s lineup will feature the Premiere Series Packard and Marquis, while women will see updated Packard and Madison models. All four are constructed with hand-selected, full-grain leather uppers and detailed finishes that keep the classic wingtip and saddle aesthetics that have defined the franchise.
While the looks remain timeless, there are meaningful changes underfoot. Each model now features FootJoy’s new ARCTrax outsole technology, a spiked platform designed to deliver increased traction and stability in a range of conditions. The outsole uses an anti-channeling design and concentric flex elements intended to optimize ground interaction during the swing. Replaceable Pulsar LP cleats by SoftSpikes are standard across the line, so golfers will be able to refresh a significant level of traction anytime.
Comfort updates are just as prominent. The shoes incorporate a molded OrthoLite TruFit tongue system designed to help lock the foot in place, along with enhanced collar padding and soft leather linings for improved heel stability and underfoot cushioning. An OrthoLite EcoPlush FitBed and a Premiere EVA midsole provide firm, performance-oriented cushioning. Despite the added structure, the overall weight has been reduced compared to previously-released Premiere offerings.

On the men’s side, the Packard will be available beginning March 12 for $250, with the Marquis coming April 30 for $275. Women’s Packard ($225) and Madison ($250) both drop March 12. Like all the Premiere shoes before them, the 2026 footwear has a two-year waterproof warranty.
For players who prefer a traditional leather golf shoe but demand modern traction and stability, the updated Premiere Series continues to be a solid choice. The styling remains rooted in FootJoy’s century-long shoemaking heritage, but the platform underneath is keeping up with the modern game and player preferences.
In a category that continues to trend toward sneaker-inspired designs, the Premiere Series remains firmly committed to the modern classic.
