Nike Footwear 2017

[thejuice]

I finally wore my AM90s that I've had for a while. LOVE THEM!!!! I wore them with some rain pants, as I don't really see them matching up too well with a pair of slacks but man were they comfortable!!! I look forward to the new colorways coming out next year.

Looks like Rory just confirmed the LC5 shoe will have the "Flyknit Elite" type sole.

Any word on how the soles hold up in "real life"?

[canonlbp430]

Really interested to see how they perform as well. Is there really a need for advanced sole designs like this? Is it just to say that you have something different or is it more comfortable or better traction? What is the purpose?

Apparently the traction is even better than with spikes, fwiw. But i'd be curious to see how they hold up over a season or two if you only wear that pair, at least with changeable spikes you can replace them when you need to, with these if you wear them down they are done for and at $200+ price point that would be pretty crappy.

What is the purpose?

 

I guess the purpose is to sell a sh*t loads more shoes since golf clubs business is over.

 

With this funky sole they will do that, since I'm guessing that sole will last half a season of real world use before it's gone for good.

 

Hoping for a version that also has spikes..

Rory will be using them this weekend in China.

Looking forward to getting those....

Sole is OK but my back foot has slipped two times? This has never happened with any other NIKE shoe

There is no way you will slip in those shoes. Those shoes are going to destroy some greens.

they surprisingly don't, unless you plan on swinging irons or woods on the greens they'll be fine. Having worn the Flyknit Elite's for a good amount of time now you actually see the traction marks disappear much quicker from the greens quicker than traditional spikes.

Is there a release date for the pullover that Rory was wearing during the first round of the HSBC?

Heard a mixed bag, if they are your only shoe they will wear but if you mix them in they will be great. Small note, walking on grass vs cart paths greatly increases the how long they keep their grip. The cart paths can bend the little nubs which is what will tear up the greens since then they act like little fish hooks.

 

That said I don't know of anyone who has slipped once with these soles.

The sole holds up great. Mine still looks new minus the yellowing from 35+ rounds but, I slip often. I am not a fan and can't imagine many high swing speed players would be. That being said, Rory is gaming the sole but I'd game them if I had his contract.

My SS hovers around 115 can't say I've slipped once in them

Dude, have you ever said one criticism towards Nike on here? I mean c'mon. Everything you say sounds like you have a Nike contract or work for Nike. These shoes slip. Period. The end. Please just stop.

Yes I was an ES/Demo Tech for them at one point. But I give my honest opinion about their clubs, apparel, and footwear. I don't buy the stuff that I don't like or think isn't a good product. I get to try out most of the stuff before I buy it for myself so why would I buy something I don't like to write a negative review about it later on here, I just don't buy plain and simple, logical right? buy stuff you like and works for you? crazy concept. I just don't comment on products that I'm not a huge fan of not a big deal. So....no....I will not stop giving input on products that I think are great and have had a good experience using.

 

You have your opinions I have mine, that's why they're opinions and not facts. You may have slipped in yours I have not slipped in mine, guarantee we have different body types swings etc and play on different courses, that put different stress on the shoe and how you interact with the ground. Not sure how you can tell me that I have slipped in shoes when I haven't. Having over fifteen pairs of shoes in rotation mine are not worn down nor have the fish hook effect like mallrat described.

 

Now you've had over 35+ rounds in yours I've probably worn the platinum pair and the UNLTD pair maybe 20 times total between the two and only wear them on dry days since they're all flyknit. So yeah could you possibly slip in them most likely but you can slip in any shoe that is a fact no shoe is slip proof, and no shoe has a slip proof guarantee (except for maybe those shoes that they have people wear who work in kitchens) Have I slipped in the flyknit elites no.

I think the real slippery slope will be how the soles will turn yellow, more so than traction.

Mine have. They look fine though.

That happens to even the other soles on LC4 / LC3 with the clear soles, from what I've seen.
