Overview
A deadstock, unworn pair of vintage white leather 'Lytham' model golf shoes endorsed by six-time Major champion Sir Nick Faldo. Complete with original fringed kilties, printed endorsement swing tag, and original factory box from Northampton, the historic capital of British shoemaking.
Story
Manufactured in Northampton during Nick Faldo's rise to golf superstardom, these shoes capture 1980s British fairway elegance in unworn deadstock condition.
Maker / Origin
Stylo Matchmakers was an iconic British sportswear brand famous for outfitting legendary golfers like Arnold Palmer, Billy Casper, and Nick Faldo, as well as classic European football stars. Crafted in Northampton, England—a region world-renowned for centuries of fine bench-made cordwaining and leathercraft—their footwear bridged high craftsmanship with elite athletic performance.
Condition & Value
Deadstock, excellent vintage condition with unworn uppers and crisp gold interior foil. The original hangtag is attached with minor age spotting, and the outer cardboard box exhibits typical shelf wear, edge rubbing, and minor corner creases.
