Rickie Fowler to wear Arnold Palmer-inspired cleats at Bay Hill
Rickie Fowler will honor Arnold Palmer at Bay Hill this week with a custom pair of kicks.
Puma collaborated with Miami-based footwear designer Roland Padron to create two pairs of Ignite Hi-Tops - one of which Fowler will wear at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, while the other will be included in a giveaway to benefit Arnie's Army Charitable Foundation.
The strap of each shoe features Palmer's signature on one side and his birthdate (9/10/1929) on the other. Fowler also requested to have "Long Live AP" and "The Legend Lives On" inscribed on the heels, according to Ashley Mayo of Golf Digest.

Fowler will also wear a pair of custom Puma Golf PWRADAPT shoes and an Arnie's Army Puma Snapback cap featuring a silhouette of a young Palmer. They highlight each year Palmer won on the PGA Tour and the number of wins in each of those years.
In honor of Arnold Palmer’s legendary career, we teamed up with @ArniesArmyCF and @RickieFowler to design and create a series of custom #ArniesArmy shoes and caps that you can win!
