Driven by a Passion for Golf, Perfected Through Footwear Expertise
88 Links was born from a love of golf and decades of expertise in footwear. Our founder, David Collins, spent over 40 years shaping iconic shoe brands, from leading product innovation at Converse® to developing cutting-edge designs for independent emerging names. When David’s newfound passion for golf inspired the purchase of a golf cart followed with a custom “SHOE DOG” license plate, it became clear: it was time to merge his lifelong craft with his love for the game. (In the footwear industry, a "shoe dog" is a term reserved for someone who has devoted their life to mastering the art and science of designing and crafting shoes.) At 88 Links, we strive to redefine the golf experience—one step at a time—by creating footwear and accessories that connect golfers of all skill levels, from pros chasing perfection to weekend warriors enjoying the camaraderie.
