JOCKEY LAUNCHES JOCKEY OUTDOORS™ COLLECTION WITH COUNTRY SUPERSTAR LUKE BRYAN

Jockey today announced the launch of its Jockey Outdoors™ Collection by Luke Bryan, with the style and personality of Bryan stitched into every piece.

Bryan’s easygoing style, adventurous spirit, and love for the outdoors inspired this stylish and rugged collection

KENOSHA, Wis. /PRNewswire/ — Jockey International, Inc. (Jockey), a 146-year-old family-owned company recognized around the world for its premium apparel, today announced the launch of its Jockey Outdoors™ Collection by Luke Bryan, with the style and personality of Bryan stitched into every piece.

The launch of the Jockey Outdoors™ collection brings 146 years of Jockey base-layer expertise outside. In 1876, founder Reverend Samuel T. Cooper began producing quality socks for lumberjacks. Today, after more than a century spent perfecting base layers, Jockey is continuing Reverend Cooper’s legacy of comfort and quality with a collection built for the outdoors.  

With the Jockey Outdoors™ collection, men don’t have to sacrifice comfort for performance. Providing more than just protection, you could say these outdoor clothes are a lot like the guys they’re built for: tough on the outside, and soft—but strong—on the inside.  

“When my friends at Jockey first brought this up it was an easy yes for me,” said Luke Bryan. “One, they are just a wonderful company with values that align with mine and two, I have always been an advocate for the love of outdoors, so it was a no brainer. Once I got my hands on the product and felt the quality, I became even more fired up for this to show up in the stores.”

Engineered with intelligent layers, premium fabrics and performance technology, the compatible pieces are designed to layer, with seams strategically placed to eliminate bulk and keep him covered. The men’s collection features: long sleeve woven, corduroy and flannel shirts and shackets; a long-sleeve performance fishing shirt with vertical ventilation, rod holder tab on the left chest and a hidden soft microfiber cloth for easy sunglass cleaning; long-sleeve henleys and crews; graphic tees; and convertible, utility, and flannel-lined pants.

“As an avid outdoorsman and already a Jockey brand ambassador, Luke was the perfect fit for this next step for Jockey, allowing us to step back to our roots, incorporate our base layer expertise and develop the Jockey Outdoors Collection, which we think will be a hit with our consumers,” said Mark Fedyk, president and COO, Jockey. “Luke was highly involved in the design and painstaking quality standards of the line. His attention to detail, demand for quality, and expectation of performance and comfort aligned perfectly with our brand pillars. The collection is designed where comfort starts – at your skin – building solutions from the inside-out for greater comfort and performance.”

Through the end of the calendar year, 2022, Jockey will donate a portion* of sales of the Jockey Outdoors™ Collection to support adoptive and foster families across the United States, a cause Jockey has championed since 2005 with the creation of the Jockey Being Family Foundation, Ltd. (JBF).

To support the launch, an expansive marketing campaign is led by advertising agency NitroC including national television ads highlighted by a spot on the CMA Awards, which is to be hosted by Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning.

The Jockey Outdoors™ collection is available now. Step outdoors and experience comfort built from the inside out at Jockey.com/Outdoors, Jockey retail stores, BassPro.com (coming soon), and with additional select retailers in 2023.

* Valid 10.1.2022 thru 12.31.2022. Jockey will donate 1% of the purchase price of all Jockey Outdoors™ products sold at US Jockey store and on Jockey.com to the Jockey Being Family Foundation, Ltd. Purchase is not tax deductible. To learn more, visit Jockeybeingfamily.com.

SQAIRZ Dominates Baseball Performance with Breakthrough Footwear Clinical Study

Published

on


WINDHAM, N.H.  /PRNewswire/ — In an unprecedented move that bridges biomechanic science with sports innovation, SQAIRZ, a leader in performance golf footwear, proudly announces its strategic venture into baseball. The launch comes on the heels of a 10-month clinical study spearheaded by Dr. Paul Klutts, which was presented at the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons International Scientific Conference on February 9, 2024.  This clinical study has shed light on the significant impact of SQAIRZ’s patented footwear design on baseball performance.  

Dr. Klutts remarked, “Ten months ago, we began studying the SQAIRZ technology because we know that there are so many variables that impact the players ability to optimize exit velocity.  What we found as physicians is that from clinical and biomechanical standpoints there is a correlation between increased ground reaction forces of the hind foot with batting exit velocity. We are very proud of the fact that these findings are the first clinical baseball performance shoe study that has been published as a poster presentation at the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons International Scientific Conference.”

Unprecedented clinical study concludes that SQAIRZ new baseball shoes measurably improve batting exit velocity.

The study meticulously examined the subtalar joint’s role and the effect of performance footwear, specifically designed to promote ground reactive forces, on exit velocity. The research concluded that SQAIRZ baseball shoes, by enhancing ground reaction forces in the hindfoot, measurably improve batting exit velocity. The results of the clinical study findings were groundbreaking: 60.5% of players reported over a 2MPH increase in exit velocity by simply switching their shoes to SQAIRZ. The significance of these results cannot be overstated. With every 1 MPH increase in exit velocity translating to approximately 10 additional feet of ball distance. This marks a significant advancement in sports science, demonstrating the tangible benefits of biomechanically informed footwear.

SQAIRZ is setting new benchmarks for performance gains in baseball as the game requires extremely fast and reactive movements, static and dynamic agility, with an emphasis on precise footwork. Because the only option the baseball player has for leverage, control, and power is the ground, the correct pair of baseball shoes can significantly impact a player’s performance on the field, mound, and especially in the batter’s box. Leveraging the foundational principle that superior balance and stability lead to enhanced performance, SQAIRZ has successfully applied its patented technology to conquer the challenges of baseball with their new GFP baseball shoe.

This unprecedented performance enhancement is attributed to the shoes’ strategic design features, including a patented toe box and wider base, and AI generated traction system which ensure optimal energy transfer and minimize energy leaks during the kinematic sequence. 

“Our journey began with the goal of enhancing performance in golf, leveraging our patented footwear technology to achieve a notable 2.9mph average increase in swing speed,” Bob Winskowicz, Founder & CEO of SQAIRZ states. “This success laid the groundwork for our strategic expansion into baseball, proving our technology’s versatility across land-based sports. After nearly two years of rigorous testing across all skill levels, the benefits have been consistently remarkable. By simply changing a player’s shoes to SQAIRZ, we saw performance improvements in pitching, running, and hitting.  The recent independent clinical study validates our findings, underscoring the efficacy of our approach. Inspired by this success, we’re excited to extend our innovative solutions beyond baseball and golf, exploring new territories including pickleball. This is just the beginning of redefining performance footwear across sports.”

With MLB players already incorporating SQAIRZ shoes into their training regimen, the brand is set to release three versions of their GFP baseball shoe: turf, molded cleat, and metal cleat models. SQAIRZ GFP, standing for Ground Force Production, will be available in May. 

Since 2019, SQAIRZ has been proud to offer game-changing results to golfers around the world, culminating in award-winning models and three wins on the PGA Tour. As SQAIRZ continues to expand its influence beyond golf, this strategic entry into baseball marks a significant milestone, giving baseball players a competitive edge, backed by independent, clinical research. SQAIRZ’s entry into baseball not only sets a new standard for athletic footwear but also paves the way for further footwear advancements across all land-based sports.

About SQAIRZ

SQAIRZ is at the forefront of performance athletic footwear, dedicated to advancing athlete stability, balance, and performance through innovative design. Renowned in the golf industry, SQAIRZ is now extending its impact across sports, proving that foundational advancements can transform the game.

Let’s Get Moving Day – Jan 12, 2024

Every New Year by the second Friday of January, people call it quits on their resolutions before they even begin, with 80% of Americans letting their goals fall by the wayside. Known as Quitters Day, which takes place on January 12, many will abandon these resolutions  – most revolving around fitness, weight loss, and healthy eating habits – after 12 days due to being too overly ambitious or expensive. The average US consumer spends more than $400 on fitness apparel each year, causing many to lack the drive or motivation to move forward.

This year, Sierra is transforming Quitters Day into ‘Let’s Get Moving Day,’ celebrating its mission to get people moving throughout 2024 and beyond.  From January 12 to January 15, participants can enter the ‘Let’s Get Moving Day Sweepstakes’ via Sierra’s Instagram for a chance to win Sierra-branded gear and a $500 gift card, available for use online and in-store, by liking Sierra’s ‘Let’s Get Moving Day Sweepstakes’ post, pledging their commitment to keep their fitness resolutions alive throughout and beyond 2024.

“When it comes to fitness resolutions, especially during New Year’s, we understand how trying it can be to create those goals for yourself and ultimately stick with them. From lack of quality gear to financial restrictions, there are a lot of factors at play that cause most people to drop their fitness goals early on.  ‘Let’s Get Moving Day’ further supports Sierra’s  long standing goal to get people moving their way, no matter the activity, with a little extra push to keep them going,” shared Elisa Pouliot, Associate Vice President, Brand Marketing at Sierra.

Sierra’s ‘Let’s Get Moving Day’ encourages shoppers to stay active throughout  2024 without having to compromise quality for value. With a wide breadth of active gear and apparel for up to 60% less than department and specialty store prices, Sierra’s latest ‘Get Fit’ range consists of fitness and outdoor essentials for every type of active consumer.

Stay warm and comfy while getting active with the help of these super-soft and movement-friendly high-waisted leggings (50% less than department of specialty retailers), which you can wear while practicing your pickleball skills with the help of this pro pickleball paddle (20% less than department or specialty retailers). Before and after your fitness activities, be sure to stretch those hamstrings with this multi-function resistance band (33% less than department or specialty retailers), which you can easily carry in this fanny pack (60% less than department or specialty retailers). And for rest days, reward yourself and lounge around in these cotton-soft recycled joggers (70% less than department or specialty retailers).
