(NO BUY/SELL/TRADE POSTS) Air Jordan GOLF footwear - AJ12 Low G Cherry - 12/13/22

[FaReal87]

you think? ADGs sit. the claim for "any budget" is not great when all the retro drops cost $200+

Lastly, there are people who are going to always be more loyal to a traditional company like footjoy than Jordan. "Dominate" seems a tad overstated.

[Drwoods2017]

They might not dominate the market but I think they would win a lot of people over to them. The last few years of Nike have really lost a lot of people. Might be a good way to get some of those people back.

[FaReal87]

I think Jordan will continue to be a niche market of people who like Jordan's from a lifestyle/basketball brand who play golf. Team Jordan's don't really sell in basketball and I don't think the market will be that big in golf.

[Drwoods2017]

That's why I think an expanded line could get more people into it. It's nostalgia for a lot of people but they also are making a really good golf shoe. I personally wasn't a fan of the 11 basketball shoes but they may be the best golf shoes I own as far as comfort and style. All you have to do for some people is get it on their feet and they're hooked.

[FaReal87]

They would need a line to start with. I feel like their offerings are staggered at best. It’s interesting they never offered Keegan’s shoe for resale (I know people hate that model, but still). They would at least need to sign a signature athlete. I love HV3 but not sure he can carry the brand and isn’t of the same championship pedigree as those who get their own shoe.

[Drwoods2017]

Agreed they don’t have a signature athlete and it would take some effort but I think if they did it could turn into something really nice. They have a decent stable of current players with Keegan, HV3, Luke Donald, and Pat Perez. Would love to see them branch out and maybe try to snag one of the big names. Clothing line is bland and there’s not much effort there but the shoes are always pretty fire.

[str8up]

If a signature athlete got signed, they’ll probably want to have a line developed around them and there in lies a potential issue.

Will the athlete be content with wearing a line of retro-themed Js which is what the majority of golf consumers wants or does NG/JB roll the dice investing in developing a whole line for the athlete, which may not move product in the marketplace?

Check out your local dicks sporting goods and get back to me. Nike has a golf shoe for literally everyone. Even those who are more traditional in style. The Victory Tours are as classic as it gets. If someone is loyal to a brand like footjoy then that’s a market you’ll never capture. But no company wastes their time trying to convert loyalists. The loyalists are far from a majority though. 99% of golfers have mixed bags and from head to toe are outfitted with 3+ different brands. Nike could dominate the golf shoe market by releasing better products. Not sure why you mentioned the cost of the retros as an insult to my point. It actually supports my point. The market for retros are small. The people that want them (myself included) will pay the premium for them. The ones that wouldn’t pay it don’t really care anyways. If Nike cared an inkling about their golf marketing team, they could and would dominate the golf shoe market. Just my opinion.

[AThompson_3]

Just to clarify, my opinion is that Jordan brand golf stuff is a niche market and should therefore remain a niche market. The ADGs try to get away from that and branch out but it didn’t work. The Jordan golf line is a niche market under the Nike golf brand. Those who care will continue to care. Those who don’t care will likely never care. I have people I play with that literally don’t care what shoe they wear as long as it’s affordable. Nike has a shoe for that. Then you have people like me that try to buy every retro Jordan golf shoe at release and I’m running out of room for my golf shoes. Nike has a golf shoe for the budget friendly person, the fanboy like me, and everyone in between. Their retail and marketing strategy in golf is atrocious and they don’t seem to care because it’s such a small amount of revenue for them that it gets pushed to the back of the line.

[FaReal87]

most of your points were regarding Nike golf and not Jordan golf all while agreeing with my original point? Not sure what you are trying to say that was different.

[AThompson_3]

Nike golf is Jordan golf. My only issue with the Jordan golf is the lack of great marketing and consumer research. The ADGs suck. The retros are phenomenal. Nike is failing to capitalize on the market for Jordan’s effectively. I think what they do with limited releases is great because it builds value for those who purchase them. But the way they introduce them and how they market a “re-release” is absurd. As a whole my point is that Nike should dominate the golf shoe industry. Jordan is just a piece of the puzzle that doesn’t fit currently because they haven’t figured you need to turn the piece to make it fit. Look at how Jordan broke in to the baseball cleat game. They signed a signature athlete (Derek Jeter). They made a shoe for him and sold it at retail. Jeter retired and now they have a strong retro line of cleats. That should be their approach to golf as well just on a larger scale because the industry is bigger.

[FaReal87]

It’s a Jordan thread, so normally you stick to that part of the equation.

I wouldn’t agree with the use of the word “strong” there. Over the past couple of years, they’ve had one retro offering/year available to the public while providing PEs for major leaguers. The Jeter offering was nearly a decade ago. They hardly make a dent when it comes to GR baseball.

they release golf cleats the same way they do with other retro releases. Why would they change up for golf? ??‍♂️

[Bholden52]

Moving this post to a different thread.

[Therealpatgiles]

I have a black cement 3 putter cover I sometimes break out.

[jpdx]

I there’s a thread somewhere here about those putter covers.

[newportbeach]

Those are cool covers.

[Drwoods2017]

If you have the 11's saved in your favorites they have a few sizes in the white you can add to cart 9.5-11.

[jvlehigh]

I realized this the other day when adding something to my cart. It shows favorites that you can add. I was only able to add 10.5 which is my size. I did it again to see if it was a fluke and now it says two pairs shipped and are arriving tomorrow. I’ll post back when they arrive.

[Sjewell94]

On Nikes site?

[jvlehigh]

On The Nike app. I have learned to add any shoe I like to my favorites now for this reason. Because I don’t know how to add things to my favorites after they are sold out and off the app.

[Rfern12]

I have them saved but get a error when I try to click on them.

[bdawg983]

I went to Google and search Jordan 11 golf shoes. The first result was a white pair of size 10.5s sold from Nike for retail through Google. Is this legit? I can't find them on the app or website.

[blink3665]

I bought a pair of baseball cleats off the Google Shopping section. They said the were from Nike, but they were $15 cheaper than the NDC. I bought them and was charged directly from Nike and they showed up in a Nike box with Nike packing tape.

[Sjewell94]

I just did the same thing. Looks legit but now it says out of stock. If you switch sizes it takes you to StockX but the 10.5 went through Nike directly.

[bdawg983]

Yeah, sounds like they had 1-2 pairs and sold out. I couldn't pull the trigger knowing I have a brand new pair of TPs and some Flash Crimson ZITs due to arrive on Monday. I was very tempted though
