Anything but denim.

The “praying hands” were flat leather.

Apologies but this ruins any mystique the 11’s had as a golf shoe. You can’t wear denim on any decent course. That and denim will get so stained and faded after the first couple wears.

There is nothing to wear with these in any attempt to look presentable.

Quite literally there is not one single worse golf realease imaginable from both a functional or aesthetic point of view.

20 Years ago imagine wearing Jordan's on any course. Additionally, denim is meant to stain and fade. That is the _mystique_ of denim.

 

Meanwhile, you think a course is going to kick you off because your shoes are denim? Sure there are a number that might, but I'd laugh if the GM, Pro, or any member of my club told me these shoes were against the rules.

Yes, the Jordan 11 "Praying hands" were flat leather on the trim piece, not patent leather.

Yes sir we are in agreement about that. In my post about needing non-patent xi's asap, i was referring to the Bred 11 IE LOW's, but more specifically the Retro release that featured the elephant print. see a few posts up

I'm with these!

[getair23]

Tinker, those IV's are a sole swap. Too bad we won't see them soon.

[golfin8]

Received my ADGs the other day but finally got a chance to open the box and take a look this morning. I'm definitely sold on them. They fit real well (I'm a 9.5 in everything) and are comfortable just walking around the house. I think they'll make a great gamer shoe, just like the 90s which I've worn the most over the past couple seasons. Now I just have to find a way to clean those damn 90s since they look almost brown now. Think some reshoevn8r should do the trick? Worked wonders on my cream Yeezys.

[mission_scratch]

Oh my.....

 

[mission_scratch]

Do it Nike!!! Drop these as a QS!!!!

[CHuntsman]

 

? ? ?

[The Long ball]

XI Denim = Lifestyle Shoe this cap and gown/ bred combo = FIRE GOLF SHOE! WHY NIKE?? WHY??

[cardia10]

It is crazy to see the 11s on the BST for over $300. With no feedback and 2 post sellers now selling, it has gotten pretty scary to buy here lately.

good eye. didn't notice that

[JMH1220]

Is this shoe a definite buy if one can get? Not sure I’d wear but maybe collect.

[mission_scratch]

Those with Nike connects - Is this going to be a surprise Drop??

[Djuga06]

I will say this. Since the shoes are showing on both NDC and the app (which hasn’t been the case for the last few limited drops) I’m wondering if the plan is similar to the Ryder Cup where they didn’t sell out in 5 seconds.

[hoselshot82]

I’m sorry but who on earth would want this safari stuff?

if that xi is a safari one, count me in. if I had the funds I'd get them all except the roshe's

Looks like it is. The tongue the same logo as on the others.

 

Pass on all safari shoes expect the XI.

Can't decide if I'll be more upset if these don't release, or when they do release and I still miss out on em

They’re not marketing to the people who are from area and have played there. They are marketing everyone. Now perhaps if they did something actually related to the course such as the warning label it might actually make some sense. Don’t just be a sheep and defense poor design choices because it’s nike bud

 

 

Just wanted to circle back now that there are better images and ask: is using the state parks logo for a state run course with five stars denoting the courses of Bethpage relevant enough to the tournament or was the generic (re: lazy) warning sign still the best option?

I'm probably in the minority here, but I would have preferred the generic and lazy Bethpage Black sign. Although relevant, the State Park logo is not recognizable to most people outside of the area. Its an attempt at creativity that gets a B-, whereas the sign probably would have received an A from me.
