TRUE linkswear has always been about more than just golf shoes. Built on a foundation of comfort, style, and a passion for the game, the brand continues to push boundaries — and its latest collaboration brings that mission to a new level. Enter the Patriot Pack: a red, white, and blue collection of TRUE’s most popular models, created in partnership with PGA HOPE.

And this one’s personal… for multiple reasons.
PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is the flagship military program of the PGA of America’s REACH Foundation. It introduces golf to veterans and active-duty military members as a means of improving their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In 2024 alone, more than 17,000 Veterans participated in the program through more than 550 locations across all 50 states. That’s not just numbers — that’s lives changed.
Do your golf shoes really matter? (Short answer: Yes, they do)

These sessions aren’t just casual clinics. PGA of America professionals leading these programs are trained in both adaptive golf techniques and military cultural competency. The result? A welcoming, therapeutic path for veterans to reconnect with community, purpose, and the game of golf. With support from the Department of Veterans Affairs, PGA HOPE is now being recognized as a viable form of therapy, and it’s gaining ground for all the right reasons.

TRUE’s new Patriot Pack helps elevate that mission, offering a limited-edition collection of three models that celebrate both comfort and country:
- LUX2 Player – A high-performance spiked shoe designed for stability and flexibility. This one blends classic white with navy and red accents — plus a soaring eagle logo on the insole. I’ve tested these personally, and they might be the most comfortable spiked shoes I’ve ever worn.
- All Day Ripstop V2 – This all-season option is built for unpredictability — wet, dry, cold, warm — it handles it all. With a breathable wool liner and the same red/white/blue theme, it’s perfect for players who want comfort that keeps up.
- FS Slide – Your post-round recovery just got patriotic. This mule-style slide is bold in Claret Red with an eagle insole. Easy on, easy off, and easy to wear all day.
All three shoes are available in men’s sizes 7 through 15 and come with that signature TRUE comfort that’s earned them a loyal following. Trust me — if you haven’t slipped into a pair, you’re missing out.

The collaboration officially launched July 4th at TRUElinkswear.com, and it’s more than just a limited-edition drop. It’s a statement of support, a chance for golf to give back in a tangible way.
As TRUE’s VP of Sales Adam Minnich put it: “The work PGA HOPE does in communities all across the country is inspiring and vital… It’s an honor for TRUE to play a small role in shining some light on the thriving community brought together by this important initiative.”
Whether you’ve served, know someone who has, or just want to support a great cause, this collaboration is an easy way to get involved. You get an incredibly comfortable pair of shoes (trust me, they live up to the hype) and you help spotlight a program that’s making a real difference in veterans’ lives through the game we all love. That’s a win-win, on and off the course.
