Ryder Cup week is producing some seriously eye-catching golf shoes

As big and brash as it is, the Ryder Cup is not a competition that allows players much leeway to express their own personal style.

With both Team USA and Team Europe's players restricted to a strict wardrobe of team-approved unbranded apparel, over the past couple of decades we've seen the competitors from both sides add a little sartorial flair out on the course in the one way they can: their footwear.

Limited-edition shoe releases and player-only one-offs are now a common sight at Cup week, with the likes of Nike, Puma, Adidas and FootJoy all getting involved with their own Ryder Cup releases. 

2025 is no exception, and with the players finally emerging on to the course at Bethpage Black for their practice rounds, we're getting a glimpse of some of the special edition golf shoes each brand has cooked up to celebrate this year's showdown.

Here are all the special edition kicks we've seen so far, and where you can get them (if they're available).

Adidas drop limited-edition Gazelle and ZG golf shoes

The first Ryder Cup footwear drop we've seen that's getting a release to the general public, Adidas have made over two golf-ready models in the iconic colours of both Team USA and Team Europe. The more casual Gazelle OG golf gets a playful tweak to its iconic Three Stripes, while a rework of the performance-focused ZG golf shoe will appear on course on the feet of Ludvig Åberg this weekend.

You can score them yourself right now through GolfPoser and Scottsdale Golf.

J.J. Spaun and Viktor Hovland have some very special custom Pumas

US Open champ J.J. Spaun could prove pivotal to Team USA this year, and his apparel sponsor Puma have honoured his involvement with a one-off spin on his trusted Ignite 2 Tour golf shoes. Paying homage to the Cup's East Coast host venue and Spaun's own Californian heritage, the shoes transition from a cool ice blue to a deep red from shoe to shoe, with three variations set to appear on his feet throughout the weekend. 

All three variants feature personal touches custom-made for Spaun, including a silhouette of him sinking the U.S. Open-winning putt on the sock liner, his favorite quote by Confucius repeated on the soles, and his family’s initials on the rear heel tab. Hovland's, meanwhile, are custom painted with a Euro flag motif.

Sadly they're not arriving at retail (we did ask), but they sure are pretty to look at.

Justin Rose's Euro-themed Payntrs

The Englishman is one of a few high-profile names to switch into Payntr's increasingly popular golf shoes as of late, and Payntr have honoured their Ryder Cup debut with a blue and gold rendition of the PAYNTR X-006 RS Spiked Golf Shoes, emblazoned with custom JR branding on each heel.

Scottie and Rory both receive one-off Nikes

Nike tend to go big on Ryder Cup weekend, and while we haven't seen any word of special edition releases forthcoming from the Swoosh just yet, the US Ryder Cup team shared a close-up glimpse of the World No. 1's custom Victory Pro 4s out on the course. The shoes look to be a subtle custom based on a readily available colourway, which combines white with a smart deep red for an understated touch of patriotic flair. 

Rory, meanwhile, gets a tweak to his white and Sky Blue victory Tour 4s, updated with a gold star for every Ryder Cup the talismanic Northern Irishman has played in.

Justin Thomas has some very patriotic FootJoys

JT is famously a player who loves to express a little patriotic fervour in whatever way he can. We're not sure if FootJoy created these in-house or not, but either way custom-painted Premiere Series shoes are as American as apple pie.

Keegan Bradley & Luke Donald get Captain's Edition AJ1s

They won't be swinging a club in anger this weekend, but this year's Ryder Cup captains, both of whom are Jordan brand athletes, are going to be turning as many heads as any of the players out on course. The reason? Each have been given a special pair of Ryder Cup Air Jordan 1 Lows dressed in custom patent leather colour schemes to fit their beloved teams, as well as a special themed outsole paying homage to New York City's iconic skyline. 

Jon Rahm's one-of-one True Linkswear kicks

Europe's Jon Rahm is a noted devotee of upstart apparel brand True Linkswear, regularly rocking their recently updated Lux G all-weather shoes. The Pacific Northwest brand is another footwear brand making its Cup debut this year, honouring the occasion by outfitting the Spaniard in some custom kicks for the occasion.
