Here you'll find all the latest, juiciest news and gossip...all that relates to golf shoes, that is.
Jordan 12 Golf Metallic Gold
This awesome version of the Jordan 12 G dropped during the Masters. And now it's already not available. Which was expected. So we'll just put it here to show what most of us will never have. Although we should say that maybe Nike put this out as a teaser, and will be more widely available in the future.
FootJoy X Garrett Leight Optical Collaboration
Although they're not necessarily golf specific, Garrett Leight sunglasses are well-known for their lightweight durability and high quality. In a first for both companies, FootJoy and Garret Leight have teamed up to create a matching pair of shoes and sunglasses. For men, the shoe options are the Premiere Series Tortoiseshell Packard and the Premiere Series Tortoiseshell Tarlow. This Tortoiseshell limited edition Premiere Series is also available in the women's model. The Garrett Leight matching sunglasses are also tortoiseshell, inspired by golf legend Chi Chi Rodriguez. These shoes can be purchased on the FootJoy website.
Limited Edition Masters Golf Shoes
April is here! For most of us, this means only one thing; The Masters. As they should, golf brands create limited edition apparel to commemorate this much anticipated major championship. Of course, we're interested in the shoes. Below is a taste of some of these special edition Masters golf shoes:
adidas Stan Smith x Vice Limited Edition
The original adidas Stan Smith shoe was named after the legendary tennis player, and remains one of the most classic, recognizable designs in the history of sneakers. This isn't the first time adidas has turned this awesome design into a golf shoe, but it is a rare and a much anticipated occurrence when it happens. The lucky partnership this time around is with the trendy German golf company Vice. There are three standout colorways available, with each one featuring touches of Vice blended with the traditional Stan Smith design. They will be available from March 25 on the adidas and Vice websites.
Nike Air Max 90 G PGA Championship Edition
Another major looms, which can mean only one thing; Nike has created another "major edition" golf shoe. This time it's the Air Max 90 G "PGA Championship edition". It features custom touches that honor Tulsa, Oklahoma, where the championship will be played. The most noticeable nod to Tulsa is the map on the insole, along with the tongue, which features a Highway 72 logo. This acknowledges the iconic Route 66, which Nike changed to 72 to commemorate when the company was founded. They will be available to purchase from the Nike website on May 19, and as usual are expected to sell out quickly!
G/FORE X TaylorMade Golf Shoe Collaboration
Pretty cool to see one of the most prolific names in golf equipment (TaylorMade) team up with G/FORE. Known for their luxury and fashion, G/FORE golf shoes have definitely established a niche. This collab produced 6 limited edition golf shoes, all of which are available on the TaylorMade website. These models feature unique colorways and subtle hints of TaylorMade. For men, the shoes are the Gallivanter and MG4+, and the women can choose from various colorways on the MG4+.
Royal Albartross Pontiac V2 Major - Masters Edition
The luxury golf brand Royal Albartross has some pretty amazing footwear out there, and we're excited to see this limited Masters edition of the Pontiac V2 Major. While we haven't had a chance to try the Pontiac V2, we already love it based on style alone. You can buy the limited edition Royal Albartross Pontiac V2 Major from their website.
Tiger Woods Wearing FootJoys at The Masters?!
We all know Tiger has been a (mostly) loyal Nike staffer his whole career. We all also know he has had a line of Nike Golf Shoes for most of his career. So it comes as a surprise that he's at Augusta wearing FootJoy Premiere Series golf shoes. We're guessing it has to do with the special needs he requires for walking after his car accident. Perhaps the Premiere Series - Packard give him that extra bit of comfort and support that his Air Zoom Tiger Woods weren't.
Jordan 1 Low UNC Golf
The Player's Shoe - FootJoy Premiere Series
One of the biggest tournaments, and the one with the strongest field, is upon us. The Players Championship is commonly regarded as the sixth major. To honor this tournament, FootJoy and famed luxury street fashion designer Jon Buscemi have created a special edition Premiere Series Packard and Tarlow. Named "The Player's Shoe - Packard, Tarlow Premiere Series", these two models come with all the standard performance we're used to, plus added features like premium Pittards leather uppers and gold-colored spikes. They can be purchased from the FootJoy website.
adidas Wayne Gretzky Golf Shoes
Wayne Gretzky, a true GOAT, needs no introduction. His love of golf and relationship with Dustin Johnson is also widely known. So why not combine this into a golf shoe?! The new adidas Tour360 22 has been modified to produce this limited edition golf shoe. It features some colors of Gretzky's former team, Dustin Johnson's logo, and "99" which was Gretzky's number. It will be available for purchase starting Feb 25.
Bubba Watson's Jordan 1 G Lows
Bubba Watson recently took to Twitter to show off his Jordan 1 Golf Lows. Needless to say they look amazing. They'll be available hopefully some time early next year (Jan or Feb).
adidas Stan Smith Primegreen Limited Edition ZOZO Championship
In a nod to the ZOZO Championship returning to Japan, adidas and Stand Smith have teamed up again to create this limited edition Primegreen golf shoe. Its all black upper represents equality, and the colorful outsole symbolizes individuality. The motto of the shoe, inscribed near the heel, is "Be unique. Be equal". The ZOZO Championship adidas Stan Smith Primegreen golf shoe can be purchased on the adidas website.
TRUE linkswear Dead Golfer Shoes
It's October, which can mean only one thing. Halloween! This holiday, for lack of a better word, usually goes unmentioned in the golf shoe world. However, this year TRUE has stepped up their game with the Dead Golfer series, which can be found in the TRUE OG Feel Dead Golfer and TRUE Lux Knit Dead Golfer. You can see for your selves the subtle Halloween touch in each shoe. They're available on the TRUE website for a limited time.
adidas Stan Smith Primegreen Ryder Cup Edition
Another adidas and Stan Smith collaboration has come to fruition! This time it's to commemorate/celebrate the upcoming Ryder Cup. Officially dubbed "adidas Stan Smith Primegreen Ryder Cup", this limited edition golf shoe features cow print and a pink outsole, which acknowledges Wisconsin's long history of dairy farming. This cool adidas Ryder Cup golf shoe will be available starting September 20.
Yet another awesome Jordan golf shoe is available (if you're lucky enough to get it). The Jordan 1 Low UNC Golf Shoe celebrates Michael Jordan's time at University of North Carolina. It features the same colors as UNC and boasts a solid spikeless traction system. Since its release on March 4, The Jordan 1 Low UNC G has been reselling for well over $200.
J.Lindeberg and ECCO Collaboration
Both known for their fashion and comfort, J.Lindeberg and ECCO have teamed up to create 4 different editions. The first shoe is based on the BIOM C4 model. These collaborations can be found on both the J.Lindeberg and ECCO websites, although they sell out quick so it's best to check frequently.
Jordan 12 Low Taxi Golf
Pat Perez's name has become synonymous with Jordan golf shoes, and we take it seriously when he mentions them on social media. This time he gave a sneak peek of the Jordan 12 Low Taxi Golf Shoe. It hasn't been confirmed, but rumor has it it will be available some time in February.
Air Jordan 4 Golf "Bred"
Jordan 4 golf shoes are pretty awesome, and this version is no different. This Jordan 4 Golf Bred version is nearly identical to the original Jordan 4 Bred, except of course for the golf-specific outsole. It will be released for retail on December 22.
SQAIRZ SPEED - PNK
SQAIRZ has partnered with the American Cancer Society (ACS) to increase breast cancer awareness. This campaign is called "Real Men Wear Pink", and portions of the sales of this shoe go directly to the ACS. You can get this SQAIRZ SPEED Pink Edition from the SQAIRZ website.
Foray x TRUE Women's Queen of Clubs Knit II
Foray Golf has teamed up with TRUE linkswear to offer this special edition Knit II exclusively to women. It features a white upper with subtle Foray detailing. On the transparent sole is Foray Golf's signature Queen of Clubs print. Remember, this is a limited edition women's golf shoe, so get it while it's still available from the TRUE linkswear website.
Ryder Cup Golf Sandals
Named after the character Carl Spackler from "Caddyshack", these Reef golf sandals are definitely one of a kind. Officially dubbed "Reef Spackler", these seven-spike golf sandals come in both Team USA and Team Europe designs. Perhaps our favorite feature is the built in bottle opener on the outsole. You can order them from the Reef website.
Johnston & Murphy Golf Shoes
Years ago (we're talking Arnold Palmer era), Johnston & Murphy dominated the golf shoe scene. Then we didn't hear from them for ages. But now they're back. Although the design and technology has been updated, they still provide plenty of class and comfort. As of now, there are various versions of the XC4 model, which we can't wait to try. Check them out on their website.
