Nike Golf unveils new Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour golf shoe in collaboration with Brooks Koepka

Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour

In collaboration with World Number One Brooks Koepka, Nike Golf has launched the Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour golf shoe.

The Nike Air Zoom Infinity shoe bids to provide maximum speed and comfort to golfers and is designed to produce maximum energy return from the ground up by re-harvesting and redistributing some of the energy lost during a player’s swing.

The collaboration on the project began in 2017 when Koepka challenged Nike designers to create a running shoe he could play golf in. The result of which is the Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour shoe which looks to blend comfort and style while also generating maximum power from the ground upwards.

Speaking on the creation of the new Nike Air Zoom Infinity shoe, Matt Plumb, Nike Golf Product Line Manager stated

“Brooks was instrumental in the Air Zoom Infinity Tour iterative process, helping us get to the point where we can now help golfers look at their footwear as part of their equipment on the course.”

According to Nike, designers analysed data from pressure maps to see where traction elements needed to be positioned on the shoe for an ultimate return on movement. They developed a holistic system that transfers more power up the kinetic chain. The brand then obsessed the areas of fit (to reduce in-shoe movement), ride (for maximum energy retention) and traction (for zero slip in any direction).

The Nike Air Zoom Infinity shoe contains Nike Zoom Stroble technology and moderator plate, first tested on court by Kevin Durant in Nike Basketball’s KD12 – designed to provide structure, comfort and enable energy return needed on the golf course.

Another feature of the new addition from Nike is the company’s weather-resistant Flyknit.

The brand also borrowed design elements, and Nike REACT foam from Nike Running’s Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit for added cushioning and energy return on the golf course.

Nike’s Air Zoom Infinity Tour golf shoe releases April 1 on nike.com.

    40% of america is anti-america. Thats exactly the side Nike has chosen. Sad.

    No longer support this disgusting company. What I have is what I have, but I’m not buying anything new. Their hardgoods were great, and bags were even better. But, once they got out of that it was all downhill and it shows in the softgoods as well as their politics.

      please explain how their politics correlates to their product quality? My guess is you’re just a racist but i could be persuaded otherwise!

    My family will never buy another Nike product again. I’d go barefoot and naked first

    I am assuming this won’t be the only color scheme, but they look nice. Now the more important question, how much?

    Wow that’s a nice combo, it’s funny seeing non sneaker heads talk about how a shoe looked, but tech wise I have flynit reacts and they are very useful for walking and keeping that constant comfort/support in a good level versus other shoes that’ll bottom out after 1-2 hrs of wearing them. Very nice they put a zoom unit in them which is a great addition. Y’all old heads stick to your bs saddle shoes while I wear some of these and let my feet stay comfy

    Same company that makes a Kapernick shoe with the date of his first kneeling. Not for me.!

        No, but if you buy them and set them on fire everyone will see how much you hate them!

      Definitely agree. As good as these look no way I’m giving them money after they support someone like that.

        I think we all know what the “B” in Wes B stands for. And we know it stands for something because it darn sure doesn’t kneel!

    Who erased the LGBTQ comment?
    I am LGBTQ, and I think these shoes are perfect for me.
    The heel spinning comment was spot on, that’s exactly what this shoe looks like!

    Clothing/shoes made with Brooks Koepka? The guy who wears thongs on social media? Haha. No.

    I like everything they’re saying about the making of the shoe, but do they have to be so damned ugly?!

      All Nike shoes are ugly,golf or otherwise.

        Hot take there, Brandon. Don’t cut yourself on that edge.
