Nike Footwear 2023 (Unofficial Thread) (***NO BUY SELL TRADE POSTS***)

[Scott0000]

Finally.  Feel like the peaches are going to be a tough one to get hands on.  Hope the other shoes in the line look this good for Augusta.

What is the logic of having the wording on the sole inversed? It says "Always Fresh" on the tongue and "Fresh Always" on the soles.

 

They did it on the Open Championship models as well. Who says "Home Back"?

 

Has always been a pet peeve of mine.

If you are right handed, technically wouldn't it be correct when standing over a ball? Not that you can read it. Also, we read left to right, the shoe on the right of this picture is the left shoe I think?

I really hope there is a peach themed Next% released.

[DR-TWFAN]

Still no update on Tw13 release ??

 I think the idea was imagine someone walking behind a player wearing the shoes and reading it left to right.  It would say "Always Fresh" as they picked up their feet (and "Back Home" on the Open shoes as well).

Not saying that was smart 😀 Just saying I think I read somewhere that was the intention.

Designed to be viewed by person walking behind you. Nobody sits in a chair with their feet up wearing golf shoes. 

[jerrytexastech]

Page or 2 back someone stated their Nike rep stated it would be August for the TW13. Who knows at this point.

 

I am hoping to get the Jordan 6 Retro golf and TW13 this year. I already have Jordan ADG4s, Jordan 4 white cement, Jordan 12 blue and white and Jordan 12 masters.

I noticed this too.  It annoys me when companies make this mistake.  

 

The other other CW (graffiti) says Nike Golf, so what's up Nike?

One of my friend spoke with the Nike rep for our town and apparently, the standard TW13 won't be available until August and the wide TW13 won't be available at all. 

 

Any contradicting information out there?

 

That's the info I got. I hope it's wrong though, particularly about the wide model.

I must be missing something on the TW13 hype. Weren't these the ones that people made fun of Tiger for, calling them his nurse shoes? I'll put it nicely and say that they're dated - that early 2010s period where we were just starting to evolve golf shoes but hadn't quite figured it out should be left behind. But I'm definitely in the minority. Maybe if I see them in person I'll change my mind. Unless it's totally about the comfort, in which case I see why I don't get it having never worn them.

 

Hmm...I don't recall them being made fun of back then and they certainly don't look dated to me by any means. 

 

They're super comfortable, but also extremely durable and grippy. I wore mine for the better part of 6 years before buying anew pair in 2020. They also go well with pretty much anything, but especially with shorts. 

 

If the quality is anywhere near the original I hope to buy another few pairs.

I had the TW13’s and many other guys I knew at the time and I never once heard them called nurse shoes or made fun of at all. I think he was mistaken with the models before the 13’s. To me the models before the TW13 always looked like nurse clogs. The 13’s were truly revolutionary in my opinion. They were sporty looking with excellent grip and very comfortable. I can’t wait for the re-release. 

[DoubleBogeyPapi]

Nike Golf clearly doesn't know what direction they're going that's why they're re-releasing old products and throwing a G on Jordans and popular sneaker silhouettes. I miss the old days of the Nike Tour Premier, Nike Lunar Vapor, Nike React Vapor 2's, Air Zoom 90 IT's, Nike Lunar Control Vapor. I don't know what they're doing I wish they brought back some innovation. I only can get behind the ZIT's, ZIT2's, ZVT 1 & 2, React Infinity 1's and 2's, and Roshe tours even though I think they've killed those off. Where's the innovation. I keep going after older pairs wherever I can find them cause they were that much better

[jerrytexastech]

Probably because they can sell as many Jordans as they can make. You dont see all those other models selling for $1,000 on eBay. I agree they have not been great in the last few years, but the Jordans are in high demand. 

 

I tried the Rory shoe couple years back, and it was ehh. I liked the Tour Prem Keopka shoe also. However, the Jordans are all I wear now.

Pretty wrong right there. Nike knows EXACTLY what direction they're going. They're going with the casual / social media influencer demographic. Why? Because "serious" golfers are a far less group of people than social media / casual golfers. Plus with the current push of more inclusion in the game of golf, they want to capture and make as many sales as they can. I bet if you looked at Nike's bottom line they're making far more than when they did when Tiger was in his prime and golf shoes were more towards the "serious" golfer.

[DonRSD]

Lots of golf shoes Nike makes are downright UGLY!

I have a bunch of AM & Jordan's.....and will wear the J's over anything else.

 

Wish they made more Jordan golf shoes and not just 1 model per season

 

[Diamana_Stinger]

Another release is on the way...apparently for the waste management in phoenix....

At least it's more pics. They still look like hot garbage though.

Great shoe. I have three pairs (including this colorway). All have held up well for me, although each pair only has ~4-5 uses each on them. They are one of my go-to walking shoes. Very comfy!

I couldn't wear the original Zoom Infinity Tours at all due to fit.  They were really narrow, and the sole felt even narrower, so it felt like I was on ice skates.

But these fit great for me and have been a very solid, comfortable shoe, especially for walking.  I wear my normal Nike size in these rather than having to size up (like for the original ZIT or the AirMaxs or the TW20) or size down (like for the Jordan 1s).
 

The grip on these is adequate, as good as any spikeless but not as good as removable spikes.  They are as stable as any Nike shoe at this point, which is to say it's ok.

 

So if the fit works for you and you don't have any specific grip or stability needs, then it's a nice shoe.

Yes. Very good. People said air bubbles were popping. I found that they do sound like they popped when its wet but mine definitely didnt, just sounded like it.

I was a big fan of the the first iteration, but the second was improved all around and was the go-to shoe this last summer and fall.  Going to buy another pair of the white/black because they are so good.

Have the Jordan’s gotten rid of the squeaks?

Any shoe can get the squeaks, just have to throw some baby powder under the insole and you're good

I buy multiple brands and the only ones ever squeaky were Nike. But the baby powder does solve it, just shouldn't have to do it.

Thanks, but you shouldn’t need to do that.
