Johnny Miller, 50 years ago, shot a great round at the 1973 U.S. Open in Oakmont Country Club near Pittsburgh. It was a historic moment when Johnny Miller shot 63 in the final round at the U.S. Open on one of hardest courses in world. Miller’s 63 not only won him a national title, but also made him a style icon.
Golfers wore checkered pants and turtlenecks, or polo shirts so large that they could have been used as solar panels. Miller’s red, white and navy FootJoys golf shoes stole the show that day. They are now on display at the USGA Golf Museum, Liberty Corner in New Jersey.

FootJoy is celebrating its 100th year anniversary this year, and will debut its Centennial Collection of footwear and apparel at the U.S. Open in Los Angeles Country Club. The limited-edition Premiere Series Wilcox, which has the same color scheme as Miller’s shoes in red, white and navy blue is the highlight of this offer.
The Premiere Wilcox looks old-fashioned, but it is equipped with modern features that make it more breathable, lighter and more comfortable. The upper is made of full-grain, but it has been padded with the OrthoLite EcoPlush. VersaTrax+’s outsole also features multiple traction elements to ensure grip on any surface. Premiere Wilcox comes with a 2-year waterproof guarantee. Justin Thomas, Max Homa and Cameron Young are expected to wear this limited-edition Premiere Wilcox at LACC.
FootJoy’s Centennial Collection includes a women’s Premiere Series Centennial Shield Tip shoe in the red, white and navy colorway. The women’s Wilcox has the same full-grain leather and VersaTrax sole as the men’s Wilcox. It also comes with a 2-year waterproof warranty.
Centennial Collection includes four-button polos and cardigans for both men and women. You can also find hoodies, crewneck sweaters for women and cardigans with vintage-inspired designs.
Footjoy.com will begin selling the Centennial Collection on Thursday, June 15th.
