Just me or do these look different than last years ZIT?

Yeah. No grey in the back heel. Probably the 2021 release. Also you can see the swoosh is broken into 3 pieces like the pair on NDC. Only thing I can’t see if the light grey band down the middle of the swoosh.

Kind of looks like he had Nike put a thinner sole in them.

Thought the same thing seeing them on him last couple of days but checked out some more pics on Getty images and it could just be a cleaner color way without the stripe running down the side and the two tone colors.

 

Here’s ones from last year -

Has anyone tried painting the inner part of the swoosh on the ZITs?

I would try but unsure on what type of paint to buy. Anyone have a suggestion? Happy to experiment. 

[JRS1939]

I have started on a few colors but turns out I don't have the patience to paint all 4.

 

You can get every color in the world from Angelus

I may have missed it, but what are Rory’s shoes? I commented on the volt color, but I think I kinda like they style and look like they may be a viable Rosie Tour replacement.

I don't know if these have been back in stock for a while or just recently, but NDC has the Roshe G Tour in white with the black swoosh in a bunch of sizes. 

 

I have been looking for these for a while so I bought a pair. Now we'll see if I get the black swoosh or the white.

So I love the way the infrared 90s look, but is it just me or the heel really high? ive worn mine around the house a bit, but really unsure if these are going to be all that comfortable swinging in? I just dont feel balanced or 'grounded' in them. just me?

 

I am waiting on the alien NRG version as well...and will keep those even as street shoes, but not loving them for golf just yet...

[LBRMGR]

Has anyone played in them?  Curious how traction is

Angelus is the brand that many sneaker customizers go with, but these are synthetic uppers.  It'll take a bit of effort to prep them properly, so that the paint adheres to the shoes and doesn't chip or crack when wearing the shoes.

Sounds like too much work and not enough reward. Thanks for the info though.

I walked 12 holes in mine on Thursday.  It was dry, but no issues with traction. They seem inline with any other spikeless shoe I own.   
 

I wouldn’t want to walk all my rounds in them, but they were comfortable enough.  You wouldn’t confuse them with a boost/react shoe or a pair of eccos, but they get the job done.  I find them slightly more comfortable than the 270 as the toe box is a bit wider.

I might go for it if it wasnt my first ever attempt.  And im not even looking to go crazy with it, i just want the swoosh filled in.

 

Thank you though.

Yup, Angelus is the way. Make sure you watch a few you tube videos on what to do to prep. Good prep is the key to any sort of longevity. 

 

Leaderboard Customs on IG is  member here and gave me a ton of tips. So far, the few projects I've done, have come out great.

 

EDIT: he also has a thread here with tips, steps, and his work.

Any idea what shoes Brooks is wearing today? They look kind of like ZIT but I thought I saw individual cleats when he lifted his foot.

Just noticed that a spike on my ZITs broke...has this happened to anyone else? Chances I can get Nike to replace the shoe?

I accidentally left a pair of ZIT on the radiator to dry for too long and the plastic heel protector actually melted and burnt inside causing it to bend over and solidify. They rubbed against my heel so much they became unwearable. 
I got hold of Nike and sent them directly back to them for a full refund as they didn’t have them in my size to exchange them. ( I said it was a manufacturing fault 🙃) even though I’ve had them for over 6 months. So definitely worth a go.

In my experience in dealing with their CS would say they will do a refund. I don't wear these when practicing on synthetic turf matts because I've heard the spikes break after repeated use. There's just not enough give on matts but I have heard of no issues on real grass.

[itsmb8]

Although ive personally never had to contact Nike CS (thankfully), Ive heard nothing but great things about them.  Contact them and theres a great chance they replace it.
