The footwear and apparel manufacturer announced a huge update to the Premiere series earlier this year, headlined by an update to the Premiere Series Packard. Now, it's been joined by utterly stunning upgrade to the wingtip-styled Premiere Marquis. 

As always, both new Premiere models come with full-grain premium leather uppers, classic styling, while under foot the midsole has been lightened and a new ARCTrax outsole platform (also seen on the new Pro/SL spikeless shoe) introduced to provide more targeted traction and stability.

Both have had small tweaks to the interior padding to provide a more luxurious, cushioned feel throughout the shoe, with re-inforced cushioning in areas like the tongue and collar. Both are significantly lighter than their predecessors as a result, which is great news for players previously put off by the Premiere series' heftier profile.

The Marquis model is set to hit store shelves in May, while the new Premiere Packard will release later this month you can browse the full current range at FootJoy's website.
