Golf footwear has evolved dramatically over the past decade, but few models have struck the balance between comfort, stability, and style quite like PUMA GOLF’s IGNITE ELEVATE 2. For 2026, the brand is doubling down on that success—not by reinventing the shoe, but by expanding its personality. With three new colorways rolling out across the IGNITE ELEVATE 2, X, and TOUR models, PUMA GOLF is giving players more ways to express themselves while keeping the performance foundation fully intact.
The result is a lineup that feels both familiar and fresh: the same trusted engineering wrapped in bold, modern aesthetics designed to stand out on Tour and at your local club.
A Performance Platform Built for the Modern Golfer
While the new colors may grab the headlines, the IGNITE ELEVATE 2 remains rooted in the performance technologies that made the original such a hit.
Full‑Length IGNITE Foam: Comfort That Lasts All 18 Holes
At the heart of the shoe is PUMA’s full‑length IGNITE foam, a cushioning system engineered to deliver consistent comfort and energy return. Because the foam spans the entire sole, golfers experience a smooth, responsive feel whether they’re walking long fairways, navigating uneven lies, or grinding through a practice session.
This isn’t just plush cushioning—it’s engineered support designed for the repetitive motion and long hours that define the game.
FLOATPLATE Midfoot Shank: Stability Through Every Swing
One of the standout technologies is the FLOATPLATE midfoot shank, a structural element that reinforces the center of the shoe. Its purpose is simple but essential: keep the golfer grounded and stable during the swing.
By supporting both lateral movement and rotational force, the FLOATPLATE helps players maintain balance through impact, promoting more consistent ball‑striking regardless of swing style or tempo.
PWRSaddle + EXOSHELL: A Locked‑In Fit Without Restriction
The TPU PWRSaddle wraps the midfoot for added control, while the EXOSHELL upper provides lightweight structure. Together, they create a secure, athletic fit that moves naturally with the golfer.
The combination ensures the foot stays locked in during aggressive transitions without feeling stiff or restrictive—a balance that many golf shoes struggle to achieve.
Traction for Every Condition
The outsole features a semi‑translucent carbon rubber compound with more than 100 strategically placed traction lugs. This multi‑directional pattern is designed to grip turf in all conditions, from firm summer fairways to damp winter rough.
For golfers who play year‑round or travel across climates, this kind of versatility is invaluable.
Three New Colorways Designed for Personality and Presence
PUMA GOLF’s 2026 additions aren’t just new colors—they’re distinct identities crafted to appeal to different types of players.
Chill Apple
A vibrant apple‑spritz green paired with speed‑blue accents on a white upper.
This is the boldest of the new releases—fresh, energetic, and impossible to miss.
Clean Slate
A refined sky‑grey tone with black accents on a white upper.
Minimalist, modern, and understated, it’s the choice for golfers who prefer quiet confidence.
Iced Coffee
A deep indigo blue upper paired with an iced‑coffee brown outsole.
Warm, earthy, and sophisticated, this palette blends classic and contemporary style.
Each colorway brings its own personality, but all three share the same performance DNA that defines the IGNITE ELEVATE 2 family.
A Style‑Driven Update Inspired by Golfer Demand
According to Shawn Koutahi, Director of Footwear at PUMA GOLF, the expansion was driven by the players themselves.
“We love that golfers love the IGNITE ELEVATE 2, and we wanted to give them more opportunities to express their personal style,” Koutahi said. “These new colorways are fresh, modern takes on colors traditionally seen on the course, and we are excited to see them worn on Tour this year.”
His comments reflect a broader trend in golf: players want performance, but they also want personality. Footwear has become a key part of that expression.
Tour‑Proven Style: Fowler, Homa, and Woodland to Debut the New Look
Fans won’t have to wait long to see the new colorways in action. PUMA GOLF athletes Rickie Fowler, Max Homa, and Gary Woodland are expected to wear the Tour version of the IGNITE ELEVATE 2 throughout the season.
Their presence on the global stage reinforces the shoe’s credibility—not just as a stylish option, but as a Tour‑ready performance model trusted by elite players.
Availability and Pricing
The new IGNITE ELEVATE 2 colorways will be available beginning January 9, 2026, both at pumagolf.com and through retail partners.
The retail price remains $130, positioning the shoe as a strong value in the premium‑performance category.
