New Golf Shoes Get Closer…
Back in April we mentioned Kikkor Golf Shoes, briefly when there was only a little information available. Now there are new models in the pipeline and they are closer to actually being available for purchase! Lepp is quoted at being amazed how long these things take to come to fruition. They are still “samples”. Find out more about Kikkor Golf Shoes
James Lepp is the budding golfer behind the brand: He was the first Canadian to win the NCAA, he won as an amateur on the Canadian Tour, he won four consecutive B.C. Amateur titles, he won 2 Canadian Junior championships and he won the Pacific Coast Amateur. He then won the Canadian Tour’s 2007 Greater Vancouver Charity Classic at Hazelmere as a professional but then he took his eye off golf (as a business major) to start a golf shoe company that now seems to be transforming into a clothing company. Maybe because clothes lines are quicker!?
He started the whole thing because of a disillusionment with what was available as a”young” person who might want what you’d call ”west coast…surf, skate, snow… urban-street… whatever”. Anyway here are two of the range (not yet available!)

UPDATE ON James LEPP of Kikkor golf shoes;at the Hazelmere course on the canadian Tour, not having played too much golf since he won the tournament in 2007, shot an opening round 3-under 69 (5 birdies/2 bogeys).
