Complete the look: Five ways to wear the most versatile golf shoe of the year

Golf sneakers are now well and truly the accepted norm out on the course, but not all are created equal.

It takes a special pair of shoes to really bridge the gap between on-course performance, clubhouse comfort and everyday wearability, and a new challenger in this space has emerged in the form of G/FORE’s brand new G.112.

Taking the reins from the boldly-styled predecessor famed, the new G.112 presents a cleaner, even more modern silhouette with just that slight hint of fashion-forward edge that has come to symbolise G/FORE’s unique ethos out on the course.

The core DNA that has made the G.112 enduringly popular over the years remains, with the shoe boasting a buttery soft, easy-cleaning and a waterproof PU leather upper, and sumptuous mesh lining that hugs the foot for a truly luxurious feel.

Make no mistake about it, however, this is the most aggressively engineered G.112 in the model’s history, with every part of the platform underfoot engineered to provide the utmost in comfort and stability on course while maintaining its casual look. G/FORE’s famed massaging (and odour-inhibiting) inner soles make their return, while beneath this lies a revised EVA foam midsole that’s more responsive and cushioned than ever before. 

The spikeless traction pattern has also had an update for greater grip, providing just the right amount of grab for everyday golfing while retaining its wearability and comfort on the pavement.

What sets the G.112 apart, however, is how the tennis shoe-inspired silhouette makes for truly effortless everyday styling. Take them out on the course and they’ll perform exactly how you need while pairing with all manner of outfits, whether on the course, in the clubhouse, or out on the town. Here are five fun ideas to get you started.

1. Cool and breezy

Keeping it understated to start with, we’re leaning on a classic G/FORE Colour, Twilight Navy, to present a clean and comfortable look that’s perfect for transitioning from the office to the first tee. The mint green polo underneath provides some understated colour, while the crisp navy trousers, jacket and accents on the G.112 make for a timeless, flattering monochrome silhouette.

2. A splash of green

Taking a much more playful tone for your summer rounds, this outfit is all about celebrating the greenery of the course. A green glove and accents this version of the G.112, highlighted further by an embossed skull and crossed tees pattern, is all about signalling that you’re on the course for a good time, not a long time. The scattered ditzy print on the polo pays homage to the changing seasons, while the uber-soft jersey fabric makes it an absolute dream to wear.

3. Earthy tones

While G/FORE isn’t a brand we necessarily associate with quiet luxury, this outfit takes a step back and allows material to do the talking. A subtle warm dune tone runs through the palette here, offset with a splash of playful neon yellow on the G.112 golf sneakers and crisp white trousers to complete the summery look. A grey double knit pullover completes the formula to create an outfit that’s endlessly wearable between seasons.

4. Tickled pink

Hot pink is a signature G/FORE tone, making appearances across both its men's and women's range. The women's version of the G.112 takes this to a playful new realm, accenting a base of electric Knock Out Pink further with fun pops of yellow and baby blue along with a removeable tongue kiltie. Complimenting this is a cute, fearlessly feminine outfit made all the more classy with a textured white polo, a luxurious gilet and a Knock Out Pink A-line skort.

5. From boardroom to locker-room

Perfect for the lady golfer who wants to rep the game everywhere she goes, this outfit leans on some fun G/FORE casual staples that still hold up when called upon out on the links. Grounded by a clean white and navy version of the G.112, the combo of a smart long-sleeve polo and crisp, comfortable stretch fabric trousers will hit all the right notes whether you’re in the office or on the move. The golf-themed handbag is the perfect accessory to cap it all off.
