2012 Nike Free Golf Shoe


ntogolf

Recommended Posts

I was so excited for these shoes to come out. I have probably owned 12-15 pairs of frees. I bought the original ones when they first came out. I recently bought a pair of free 4.0 running shoes. Best shoe out of the bunch. The price was 99.99+ tax. I know golf is a different market than running but people have to be wondering "where does the value of 80 come from in these shoes"? I was hoping for a 124.99 price point. I guess that extra 50 is from the TW logo. Too rich for my blood. I will be scavengering the BST for a week old used pair for 125. partytime2.gif

I have several pair of Nike Free runners as well as the Nike Free TW golf shoes. The golf shoes are clearly more expensive feeling and looking than the runners.

wow i'm really wondering why all the people are upset with the price??? If the free running shoes already are 120 bucks, how much do you want to pay for a newley developed free golf shoe? 99$??? This shoe has spikes on the sole and its waterproof. Do you know much it costs to develop a shoe like that... all the prototypes etc.? Of course they are a few bucks more because of the TW logo but i really don't get it....

I just pre-ordered a Size 12 in the whites on discountgolfworld.com- they exclude shipping charges AND taxes, but it's group shipping only so I will receive them 7-10 days after the June 8th release date. Cost was $179.99, and no doubt these shoes will take 15 strokes off my game and add 15 yards to my drives.

how do all the people know what size to pre order? i doubt they will fit like the old nike golf shoes and more like the free running shoes which run smaller

As some people have said, they fit exactly true to Nike size and the Free running shoes. i have 2 pair's of Free's: Running shoe and the Trainer and there is not a more comfortable shoes out there for me. From everything I have heard/read about the TW free's, they are very stable but also very light, and not cheaply built at all. Nike went all out on these it seems. For $180, I don't think they want to tick off loyal customers.

The price of these shoes is such a negative for me but after seeing those pictures of the guys who already got them I am jealous and i think i would actually drop the $180 for them, but there is one problem... They only go up to size 12, and i need a 13. Any news on when they plan to release more sizes.

Noticed that for the first time in months Tiger wore the black version the past two days. Wonder if Nike isn't making him wear the white ones for marketing purposes anymore now that the shoes are basically out. Hopefully he can get back to wearing black shoes with his sunday outfit again, the white shoes with that outfit are a horrendous look.

New member here, The TW '13 shoe is a limited release at first. So Nike can "test" on how well it will do. They made limited quantities, each shop should get about 8-10 pairs at first.

Regardless, the shoe will be out, but the sales will determine how much is made in the factory overseas. Thats why sizes 13-14 is available in the summer. When production is started on it

I guess those sizes come out later on in the summer, i dont know why nike in their test run release full size runs of the shoe. I'm sure most want to try them on, and eventually buy them

[size=4][color=#000000]I am thinking about passing on these and waiting for them to become available on ID. I think Nike is going to follow their basketball trend for the LB's and Kobes. First they release just black and white. Then a few months later they release a few other colors and make them available on Nike ID. At least I hope that’s what they plan to do. The LB and Kobe Easters are both off the hook.... I could see a British Open and PGA Championship special release for these.[/color][/size]

11.5 is available in europe. If you are willing to pay the shipping you should have no problem getting them. quantities aren't as limited as in the US here in europe
