They look pretty ugly and clog-like in those photos, but I am wondering if it's because the size is so small. Definitely gives me pause though, that sole looks like a** from the side and high back ridge is not doing it for me.

I agree, The next% (the last ones) were fine but I slowly stopped wearing them after they sliced up my Achilles, and moved on to FJ which have been flawless.
safe to say I have no interest in these new ones, they look like some trail running shoes.

The last ones sliced your Achilles?

Mine don’t look clog like.  I don’t have the wide

[soap1984]

I also thought all those pictures made the zit look very clunky looking and I didn't order a pair because of that. I usually like to see in person because pictures can misrepresent reality but they don't look great in pictures.

Well, like anything else, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  I like the new ZIT 2.  I like the plain white colorway with the big swoosh a lot more than I like the NRG version.  The ZIT 2 won’t be my everyday shoe when it’s hot and dry, but I will definitely be gaming them this year.  Especially the BOA version.  
 

Too each his own.

Hey, not sure about the other NRGs, but for those of you that bought the ZIT 2 NRGs, pull out the inside sole insert and tell me what you see!!

 

Easter egg, baby!!

Yeah, I was going to ask the same question. The Jordan 1 low has it.

 

Wasn't that the reason why the 2019 Nike collection got cancelled?  Pretty bold for Nike to re-use it, but I do like that call back.

Masters 1 low is up

The brown/wood Jordan 9 is also available.

I received a pair of both the Infinity Tours and the Victory Tour's today and here's my initial thoughts....

 

Comfort goes to the Infinity Tours, they feel so spongy!!

Looks goes to the Victory Tours, they have dropped the perforated leather on last years and the leather on these is nice and soft and the swoosh is nice and textured...they look very nice!

 

Overall I'm leaning towards keeping the Victory's, I'm really not keen on the "yellowed" colour of the Flyweave on the Infinity Tours, it just looks a bit weird next to the bright white sole!

 

I've got 30 days to decide although with the weather here in UK being so wet they may not get a proper outing for a few weeks!

Nike changed their return policy.  You can't test out the shoes anymore and return.  All returns now must be in unworn condition.

 

USA is the only place I've seen where the return policy didn't change.

Has anyone picked up the Free Golf Shoes yet? I am tempted. I love the regular Free Runs so I am assuming the comfort would translate over. The traction is where I'm a bit skeptical because I'm a spiked guy, 10 out of my 12 golf shoes have spikes. Would love to hear any feedback.

I played a round in them and didnt notice any slippage. It was an afternoon round though so not much dew on the ground

 Please elaborate 

 

The fiberglass mesh feel is awful. The colors is awful. They basically took a plain white shoe, added some sparkles and flash in a few areas. 

 

Honestly, this line feels like they modernized the BBQ dad NikeAir Monarchs you see with boomers.

It is wild to me that there was a brain trust that thought releasing these were a good idea, but the designs like the last two PGA championship editions that Brooks had wouldn't be good sales.......

 

 

These are hard pass for me. Luckily, I have two boxes of (vacuumed sealed in storage unit) Tour Premieres I am breaking out this year. Yikes

That's a shame...no more rentals!!

 

In all seriousness, given Nike's weird and inconsistent approach to sizing then that may prevent as many purchases as their comfort guarantee was awesome as you can't truly tell until you're using them how they were intended.

Yeah, I had quite a big blister just in the area between the heel and Achilles.. during the round, I could feel it rubbing and getting rawer and rawer..I was in discomfort for a quite while after and had stop playing golf for a week because of it. so since then I have been put off wearing them in case it happens again.

I have no idea how or why it happened, nothing out of the ordinary, very much broken in 15/20 rounds old, normal socks, wasnt particularly hot or wet, always clean my shoes thoroughly after every round, and the next% are one of the few shoes which doenst have the 'Adidas effect' of the padding on the heel wear out after 3 wears..

Thanks for the info, i was very nearly going to take some Air Max 86 BB Gs out for a round to decide if going up 0.5 size was a bad idea... decided i needed to go TTS and returned them.

I walked 12 holes in them last night straight out of the box and they are really comfortable and didn't have any issues with movement.

Does the blue infinity tour 2 drop tomorrow?

[xabia]

yea I will be picking up some these ZIT3 colorways especially those ones Rory is wearing. 

 

Intrigued by the new IT next, but had bad experiences last year with them.

NRG wides not so wide...Best to order 1/2 size up IMO...

I have had all of the infinity tour versions. And the new one seems the widest to me. I wear 10.5 in everything Nike and they fit me great. I got the NRG 10.5, non wide. They felt like a very comfortable running shoe to me. 

[KevCannon]

So I tried a half size bigger on the Infinity Tours and same feeling in the toe box. And of course no store has any wide version available. Nike has been on a downward spiral with all of their footwear, quality and craftsmanship has been getting worse and worse. I had really been a fan of Nike since my childhood, but I am almost at the point of just boycotting them. Business model has changed to 100% quantity and volume and 0% quality of product. Whoever is heading the design dept. shouldn’t be allowed to keep getting away with churning out bad idea after bad idea. Sorry for the rant….a few buddies and I weee talking about this at work and I noticed it even more talking to them.

What I've learned over the years from these threads is that there is no design that works for everyone. You have a post saying the Nxt 2 is wider than before right above a post saying Nxt 2 is narrower than before. One guy is saying they're tight on the toes because of placement of the logo. (!!!) 

Like, don't people try them on in a store? Or trade in for another size if bought online? (And don't most places do size trades/returns for free?)

SEE!??!?

It’s amazing how all over the place fit of the Nike golf shoes are for everyone. This thread has turned into a shoe sizing discussion instead of talking about new releases.

Everybody's foot fit is different. Unlike most shoe companies who you can rely on to provide you with a true wide fitting shoe, Nike is a total guess game... I guess that's why they make it so easy to return shoes...
