ECCO GOLF and Random Golf Club trump shoe opposition with Greenland inspired collaboration

Matt Cooper 09 May 2025

Greenland is in the news right now.

And while the country is named after a putting surface (“Fake news. Sad.”) it doesn’t have a great reputation for the business of clattering balls around with sticks.

It’s the largest island in the world and the capital city of Nuuk has had a nine hole course since 2000. That’s as far as it goes.

It has one par-5 and four par-3s and has Arctic, rather than the more typical Bermuda or bent grass, greens.

Now the golf team at ECCO, the elite Danish shoe manufacturer, has unveiled the BIOM H5 RGC which is a bold new high-top silhouette created in collaboration with Random Golf Club, and inspired by the untamed landscapes of Greenland.

Launching globally in early May, the BIOM H5 RGC merges ECCO GOLF’s style and performance innovation with RGC’s mission to unify golfers around the world through storytelling and community.

The campaign will be headlined by a special episode of Adventures in Golf, premiering on May 8, which follows Erik Anders Lang, Timo Vollrath

(Global Marketing Manager, ECCO GOLF) and the RGC crew on an expedition to Nuuk Golf Club – one of the world’s most remote golf courses.

Extreme test

The BIOM H5 RGC is designed to thrive in the most extreme conditions.

Drawing influence from the icy fjords and rugged tundra of Greenland, the shoe features a high-top design that provides enhanced ankle support and stability, while delivering a striking new silhouette for the golf course and beyond.

Built with ECCO’s all-new ECCO-TEX waterproof membrane, the BIOM H5 RGC ensures total protection from the elements. This is combined with BIOM NATURAL MOTION technology, which enables natural movement, grounded stability, and forward momentum – for comfort that adapts to any terrain.

This limited-edition shoe is more than just a product – it’s a story of exploration. From windswept greens to frozen fairways, the BIOM H5 RGC celebrates the nature of golf in its most unfiltered form.

To celebrate the launch, ECCO GOLF and Random Golf Club travelled to Nuuk, Greenland – a distant outpost where the game is shaped by ice, isolation, and awe-inspiring beauty.

Captured in a special episode of Adventures in Golf, the journey showcases how the game connects people across cultures and continents, no matter how remote the setting.

ECCO GOLF shoes are worn around the world by Rick Shiels, Erik Anders Lang, Thorbjørn Olesen, Henrik Stenson, Thomas Bjørn, Erik van Rooyen, Lydia Ko, Nanna Koerstz Madsen, Alison Lee and Freddy Schott.
