Created, designed and wear-tested with Lee, the premium performance model combines tour-level stability, responsive cushioning and unmistakable style
PORTLAND, Oregon — PAYNTR Golf has announced the launch of the CHEF RX RS, a new premium performance golf shoe created, designed and extensively wear-tested in collaboration with PGA TOUR star and PAYNTR Golf ambassador Min Woo Lee.
Built to complement Lee’s explosive athleticism, powerful swing and distinctive personal style, the CHEF RX RS represents another true athlete-led addition to PAYNTR Golf’s growing footwear lineup following the brand’s launch of the Eighty Seven SC with Jason Day.
Lee worked closely with the brand’s product team throughout the development process, providing feedback on the shoe’s fit, stability, traction, responsiveness and aesthetics.
“I wanted a shoe that felt locked in and responsive when I’m swinging at full speed, but I also wanted it to look clean, premium and different from anything else out there,” said Min Woo Lee. “This was a true collaborative process with the PAYNTR Golf team, and we kept testing and refining the shoe until every detail felt right.
“The CHEF RX RS gives me the stability, comfort and traction I need to go after it while still representing my personality and style. I’m excited for golfers to experience our creation on the golf course.”
The CHEF RX RS is engineered from the ground up to help golfers maximize their connection to the course. A PMXSpeed PLT propulsion plate allows players to harness ground reaction forces more effectively, while the TPU outsole and Fast Twist insert system deliver multidirectional traction and stability throughout the swing.
“Min brings tremendous energy, creativity and authenticity to everything he does, and we wanted the CHEF RX RS to embody those same qualities,” said Mike Forsey, Co-founder and President of PAYNTR Golf. “This was a highly collaborative process from beginning to end. His feedback helped us create a shoe that meets the demands of one of the game’s most dynamic players while delivering the comfort, stability, propulsion and performance benefits golfers at every level expect from PAYNTR Golf.”
Underfoot, a PMXNITROGEN+ footbed provides lightweight, responsive cushioning designed to maintain its performance over the life of the shoe. A PMXFOAM midsole, finished with a mock-leather welt, creates a balanced combination of cushioning, support and refined styling.
The upper is constructed with PRIMEASIA full-grain leather, delivering premium support, flexibility and lightweight performance. Laser perforations enhance engineered breathability, while PAYNTR Golf’s WATERPROOF+ breathable membrane is fused to the lining and sealed with a waterproof bottom gasket to provide protection in changing course conditions.
An engineered full-length knit tongue and integrated booty construction wrap the foot for a customized, secure fit, providing the lockdown and stability required during the golf swing without sacrificing lightweight, breathable comfort.
“Every detail of the CHEF RX RS was considered through the lens of how Min Woo moves, generates power and expresses himself on the course,” said Michael Glancy, Co-founder and Creative Director of PAYNTR Golf. “From the initial concepts through the final wear-testing process, we worked to balance premium craftsmanship with the technical performance he requires in competition.
“The result is a modern, athletic yet classic silhouette that feels distinctly Min Woo Lee while remaining unmistakably PAYNTR Golf.”
