What do you picture when you think about J. Lindeberg? For most golf fans, I suspect it's some of the more garish outfits Viktor Hovland has been wearing over the last 12 months. For others, the fashion lifestyle brand may have crept into your consciousness through other golf apparel or maybe even in its ski and activewear collections. Whatever it is, I think we can all agree it is one of the few apparel brands with a really distinctive aesthetic. Now 26 years into its history, the brand has revealed its first golf shoe, the Vent 500 and I'm thrilled it has finally broken ground into the golf shoe market.
It's a runner shoe concept, but one that has been crafted exclusively with golf in mind with a custom JL outsole and 100% waterproofing. I'm certainly glad JL has gone with a proprietary design here and not just plastered its logo on any old shoe. My sample pair arrived with me in the post this morning and my first impressions are incredibly positive.
