Nike Golf has just unveiled their Nike Air Max 90 golf shoes that turns one of Nike Sportswear’s classic Air Max archive into a model that’s ready for 18 holes.
Rory McIlroy’s love of the Nike Air Max 90 help prompt Nike designers to adapt the style into a performance golf shoe.
These attributes result from the Nike Air Zoom 90 IT’s custom Zoom Air sole in the forefoot, which also provides lightweight, responsive cushioning. Meanwhile, the upper’s waterproof, one-piece bootie construction keeps the foot dry and locked in. A versatile rubber outsole with Nike Integrated Traction allows golfers to wear the shoe both on and off the course.
“I dress pretty casually off the course, so it’s nice to have options. If I want to go straight from the course to somewhere else, I can do it and not feel like I standout and look like a golfer,” McIlroy attests.
McIlroy debuted the shoe this week at the Players Championship. The Nike Air Zoom 90 IT will be available in the Black/White colorway on May 13th and in White/Black on June 1st at Nike.com and select retailers.
