Masters edition? Up on ndc now

Normal version. Not the ones that looked like they got dragged through a clown dressing room.

For a tournament like the Masters it really is as simple as green, yellow, and white. You have a built in theme already. Think the TW13's and 14's for the Masters. Simple but perfect. Same thing for the US Open. Red, white, and blue. Nike needs to stop trying to reinvent the wheel with some of these designs, but that's what you get when you have the skateboarding division doing your golf shoes. Skateboarding has never been about simplicity, it's always been big and gaudy which is what we see now in the major releases for Nike

 

If there is a major where you can try and do something different use the PGA, it doesn't have a built in theme the way the other majors do 

You’ve  just described what every other lazy company does. It’s boring and no one really cares about those releases.

Yeah, it has to be bone dry if you want to keep them nice looking.  Definitely not a wet weather shoe.

Right. And people fall all over themselves for the Nike skateboard division's clown show golf releases.

I actually feel sympathy for Rory and the Tour pros that have to wear those stupid majors releases with fake water droplets, fake peach bruises, dirty-looking materials, and original crap like "Lobstah" on the soles.  That's the stuff that's lazy.  It's harder to make good-looking stuff that actually incorporates the classic themes/color schemes....well it's harder for Nike anyway.

Don't feel too sorry for them, there's millions $$$ of reason why not...

[gioria126]

Anyone already got VT3 in hand can comment on the fit, compared to VT2?
I tried VT2 before, but overall narrow, even in wide version, even tried 1/2 size up. The toe box is especially shallow vertically, means my toes always touched the inside of the upper. I tried 1/2 size up but still the same. Hopefully VT3 enhanced this part.

 

Funny thing is ZIT% “looks” narrow but actually not. But I consider VT2/3 is more stable.

Received my Masters AM1s. These boyz are so nice. I agree with the previous statement about not being able to play in them. Chip n putt and maybe wear while giving lessons. The material is literally as soft as a peach. IMO Nike hit a home run with these AM1s. A must have for us Nike golf shoe enthusiasts. 

[JMH1220]

Wish I got AM 1 also. I liked looks of ZITS best. Should have got both and decided. Had plenty of time before sold out

I’m assuming “dirty looking materials” is a reference to the US open last year. You’re from the Boston area, that water at nantasket, Wollaston or revere isn’t exactly crystal blue. Kind of on point with the color scheme

A microfiber towel, warm water and a lot of elbow grease to get these to reveal themselves. Took about 3 hours to complete. Ya can’t get to all the creases and crevices. They will definitely draw some attention. The gold is louder than I expected. Also, the shiny upper material features a iridescent coating that shows when the light hits it.

I don't think anyone was confused on what it meant, it just doesn't look good on a golf shoe.

Exactly.  I'm surprised they didn't claim it was a celebration of the Deer Island sewage treatment facility.

Anyone know if there will be a wide version of the TW13 released in the US? There is one on the Japan site.

Nice job!  Honestly, they do look better in your photos than Nike's photos. 

 

As someone with some experience removing removeable paint on sneakers... sounds weird, but I got the Jordan 1 LA to Chicago and NY to Paris that also has the removeable paint.  Although, that paint was MUCH harder to get off where you needed acetone to remove any of the top layer paint.  There are some tips and tricks that may be helpful.  Use a toothbrush or soft bristle brush to get into the tight places and also pinch/bend the shoe to make it a easier to reach the tight spaces.  But don't use acetone as it may take off the gold as well.

^^ Interesting:  Been on the fence for the latest AM1 Golf.

 

Still rock the OG AM1 Golf in Red and Blue and they hold up very well and are so easy to clean (like TW13s)

I blew that after seeing pics. I liked the looks of ZITS instead.

Did we hear about victory tour 3 US release?

Are there any normal colorways for Infinity Ace Next Nature? This colorway is the first time I’ve ever seen the shoe, I think?

[nickosbad]

Had some VT3’s arrive today, first impressions are that they look better than last years, less of a rounded toe box so look less “clownish”

 

Comfort wise they feel great on feet, massive improvement to the heel which last years would rub on me as there was a hard part under the soft heel section.

 

This colour way is slightly off white but they look awesome!!

 

There was a waterproof leaflet inside so suggests they have a 1yr as a minimum…..BUT…..WTF Nike…..great idea to make a “Waterproof” show then put huge holes in the tongue, right in the place where raindrops will gather!! 
 

Overall they look like keepers for Le but will need to keep my Tour Premieres for really wet days!

Any recommendation for a Nike shoe that has a wide toe box, with otherwise normal midfoot and heel?  The more cushion the better.

I recently had to transition to wider width shoes for my day to day, after pretty much wearing only nikes for golf. I've always worn a 10.5, and found:

 

Zoom Victory 2 wide is TTS

Zoom Infinity Tour Next % wide i have to go up .5 size

Jordan 1 low is somewhat wide and will stretch a little. I went TTS with different insoles and these are my walking shoes

 

I had to get rid of my air max 270s, 1s, roshe tours and vapor/lunar controls, just not enough room in the toe box.

[smojgolf]

is creasing the norm with the AM90s? got a pair of smoke purples and a 5 minute walk up the shop, already signs of creasing happening in the toebox. or is it inevitable and just get on with wearing them to play golf in? 😄

No, it's not the norm.  I'm a big fan of the 90s...I have almost every color way out there.  That particular shoe will crease...yes.  It you get one of the normal pair that look like actually AM90s, they do not crease hardly at all.

They definitely don't look as "clownish" as last year's model.  Nice.
