In this video I ask what's going on with Nike golf shoes at the moment. Why do they keep releasing sneaker versions and what will be the next shoe....will it be spiked? I really do hope so!

Jacques Slade Thanks so much for watching my small channel

I don’t think BK dropped the Infinity Tours because of stability. I’m sure he had the wide version that offered more stability (personal experience). And it was HIS input that helped create the shoe. Having knee problems myself (which is why he has withdrawn the last 3 events) I find that my firmer Zoom running shoes are better for my knees than my softer React cushioned shoes when running miles. This may be why he went back to the Tour Premiers.

But of course that is speculation, as I’m sure we’ll never hear the truth from Nike or BK.

Golf Guy Reviews - 9 months ago

Yeah, I don't think we'll know for a long time! So for now I'm happy to speculate :)

For me it wasn't the softness that caused the instability, it was the very loose material supporting the front of my ankle, for me personally I just need more support there. Even if I was running in those shoes, that wouldn't give me enough and I would roll my ankle.

Hilarious dramatization.

I love the direction on Nike Golf shoes in 2020. Tell me what traditional shoe looks good or modern or young or not like grandpa? Prior to the Nike Free-derived TW ‘13, Nike shoes were ugly dress shoes with an air unit and spikes. These days, these shoes are beautiful and most times functional.

Not every trainer conversion is going to work, but I love the Infinity Tours and 270Gs. And, the compliments I get from my wife and teenagers, tells me that they are cool, especially since the teenage daughter never comments on my clothes.

Golf Guy Reviews - 9 months ago

Thanks Perry! Totally fair. By 'traditional golf shoe' I mean more just a spiked golf shoe that's not based on trainers. The Tour Premiere still looked modern, and so do the Vapour React 2, but I feel their foundation is more firmly based on golf shoes rather than trainers.

I got a lot of comments in the 270G too, although my son is only 1 years old so he just cried, and my wife thought I was trying to look like one of her pupils! Haha!

how do you like the react vapor 2 compared to the newer nike golf shoes, overall? particularly the newer version of the air max 1 g? i found a pair of the react vapor 2s for very cheap, but i like the look of the air max 1 better, but they’re much more expensive at the moment

robbk23 - 9 months ago

Golf Guy Reviews thank you!

Golf Guy Reviews - 9 months ago

Nice one, sounds like a good plan! Yeah I have narrow feet and they fit me true to size

robbk23 - 9 months ago

Golf Guy Reviews thanks! yeah i watched those videos but just wondering if your opinion has changed at all since then with all the newer options of nike golf shoes that have came out since then i have a pair of spikeless nike’s that aren’t waterproof so i suppose the vapors would be a good option for me if i need something for the wet days. would you recommend staying true to size for those of i have a relatively narrow foot?

Golf Guy Reviews - 9 months ago

Hi Robb.If you found the Vapour 2 for cheap I’d nearly always recommend them.

The Air Max and Vapour are just too different to compare really, given one is spiked and the other is spikeless.

In terms of comfort, the vapour 2 is significantly softer underfoot, but is also more stable given the fly wire used and TPU sole plate it also has more padding in the heel and ankle.

The Air Max gives your the flexibility to wear off the course but it’s still quite firm underfoot and the grip doesn’t work great off the course, for example in the mall. It is actually stable enough for most golfers too, but you either get e first version with the synthetic leather upper which gets quite hot, or the 2nd mesh version which isn’t waterproof.

I have videos on both, in fact I think I even have a comparison video

Having been a former Nike employee, to see some of their popular casual and training shoes turned into golf shoes is interesting. I currently game the Nike TW71 Fast Fit golf shoes because the stability is an important part to my game. And, the Tiger Woods shoe line has never disappointed in terms of performance. To see an Air Jordan golf shoe is a bit much. As a former semi-pro basketball player, it diminishes what the Air Jordan Brand has meant to basketball fans. If people are just buying these to style and profile and your golf game isn't up to par (pun intended), well then it doesn't help the sport. Nike does need to come back to creating really great, performing golf shoes again. We haven't seen a new Tiger Woods shoe in quite some time, nor any of the Vapor line. I guess what I'm saying is substance is better than style.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to share. I think you make some really good points (and one bad pun

Kevin Jones - 9 months ago

Love it but you loose it when you say I haven't tested it yet. IMHO

Golf Guy Reviews - 9 months ago

Thanks for watching Kev! Sadly I just don’t have the time to test (and buy) all the shoes...I’ll get there eventually

Tee Up Kicks With Chris Thanks Chris, really appreciate it, really pleased with how it turned out

I love Nike products but I feel trainers don’t always translate well to a good golf shoe

Golf Guy Reviews - 9 months ago

You’re not wrong Maxwell, some have turned out great (Air Max 1 G) but some have been...well...questionable at best in my opinion

mrchineseable - 9 months ago

Nike seems to be trying to build hype like they do with their casual shoes. It seems to be working given all these NRG releases sell out almost as quickly as anything on snkrs. its rather annoying.

Golf Guy Reviews - 9 months ago

Yeah that’s the sense I’m getting too, bringing the ‘sneaker-head’ vibe into the golf world. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

Thanks for watching!!

Nice one mate. Absolutely spot on with the rehashing comment. I still wear my Nike Zoom shoes and really like them. Look good, feel good and are waterproof. Personally, though, my favourite golf shoes are the trainer style Adidas ones I bought years ago. Go with any type of trouser, are nice and neat (even for my size 11’s) and just look class...not garish like some of those Nike’s.

Anyway, keep up the good work buddy!

Andy's Golf Blog cheers Amman! slightly cheesy is all I’ve got

Andy's Golf Blog - 9 months ago

Very much so. I loved your acting on the phone. Slightly cheesy but that’s what I love about some of your videos, mate. Keep up the good work!

Golf Guy Reviews - 9 months ago

Cheers Andy, much appreciated! So long as you like the looks of them, they’re comfortable enough, and they perform, that’s all that matters

Love this vlog Kev absolutely LOL'd at this. I think the reason for them doing this because of the stable of players they have.. young and athletic not sure they want "proper golf shoe" what ever the reason i hope they carry on.. ive moved from Adidas ( worn for since the tour 360 was originally released) and its the best move I've made.

Golf Guy Reviews - 9 months ago

GMAC GOLF Thanks GMac, really appreciate it!

Yeah I think you’re probably right, I just wonder if they’re lining up a new spiked golf shoe, just not based on a pre existing pair of trainers
