Unofficial Shoes

 

Free Protos

 

TW '14 Mesh

 

The protos of the 13 should have been the retail version. Make them now and they’d make a killing...so good (at least on my head).

Missing a few of the early 2000s models. I think I had the 2 black models posted below.

Were these shoes he wore of official TW models?

I believe so. His name was on the sole of the shoes.

Now do this with his scripting history.

TW13 was my first TW shoe. Every other TW before that was ugly. Horrendous. The TW13 looked okay finally, but there was SO MUCH HYPE about how great they are. How comfortable they are etc. etc. It was nauseating. Enough so that I decided to try the TW13 just to see for myself how “great” those shoes were, debunk it, sell them and move on. 
 

Turned out, all the hype was real. Most comfortable shoes I’d ever worn on a golf course. Best traction of any shoe including nails. I bought 4 pairs. 2 white, 2 black. They never released the Masters version in a 14, or 13 I believe, or I would have bought that also. The TW13 Masters is my Goat and my white whale. 
 

The TW14 were great also. I got the Nike ID and the Masters TW14, which he skipped. 
 

By the time the 15 came out, they had pretty much killed the water proofing with so much mesh I wasn’t interested. TW17 with the flaps were ridiculously clownish. And the TW71 with the fast fit didn’t tighten tight enough or in the right spots and were incredibly narrow. 
 

The rise of Jordan golf shoes has driven me away from TW’s, most likely, for good. But I would certainly purchase retro TW13’s and TW14’s if they ever want to turn back the clock and make a ton of money. 

recently snagged a pair of the masters 13

It's funny how tastes vary. I think the 13's are hideous. They look like you should be throwing on a pair of running shorts and a micro-fiber T-shirt and going for a 3 mile run.

 

The SP-8's, however, are stunning. Just the right amount of modern but still very much a golf shoe.

i did some very early Nike product testing on the Free soles and loved them!

 

Tiger was not a fan of the black toe cap which was why it was changed on the retail version and his SMUs were even more different than the retail version. they didn't have the black front bumper.

A hybird of the 2 would appeal to everyone...

 

React Vapor midsole and outsole, Add zoom, and an updated SP-8 upper

That is the best looking golf shoe ever. Either that, or the Jordan Masters 11’s. 
 

Just beautiful. Where’d you find them? eBay?

yeah eBay, im in the UK so was surprised to see them but strangely was the second pair to come up in 3 weeks. I missed out on the first pair then won the second. recently sold on as they were a bit too snug. But as luck would have it managed to cop a pair of these

[burrrr]

Never been a fan of his shoes for some reason.

[larrydev]

13, 14 and 15 are by far the best. Some of the earlier ones are horrendous. 

 

I had a custom Nike ID pair of 14, comfiest shoe I ever had on the golf course.

I had a pair of the ones in the second picture. To this day they were the best golf shoes I’ve ever owned!

[3fiddyz]

13 & 14’s are still one of the best soul / grip combos in any golf shoes I have owned, massive shame Nike didn’t continue them…

 

Still got 2 pairs that get a run out occasionally… but ohhhh boy the smell!!!!

Look out - here comes Sir Nick coming down the fairway in his Squarz!  😵

Yes. I had the black ones.

 

I'm pretty sure there was a brown suede pair around the same time. I saw them in the pro shop Nike catalog. They placed an order, but they could never get the order fulfilled.

13(black or white) and 15 (red or grey) are best looking to me

 

14 Masters and nikeID were awesome.

 

they did use the TW15 soles on some of the earlier Jordan models. I believe they are Pat Perez favorite soles and he has them custom on most of his golf shoes.
