Nike lets you design Tiger’s shoes (and yours, too!)

Nike just announced the latest innovation in the highly competitive golf shoe market: the chance for you to design your own custom pair of golf shoes, which happens to be the latest edition of Tiger Woods’ signature line of golf shoes, the Nike TW’14.

Just to spice things up a bit, Nike is giving golf fans the chance to design the shoes that Tiger will be sporting on the PGA Tour in 2014 and to win some gear for yourself as well. So put on your most creative hat and head over to http://nikeid.tumblr.com/designfortiger to start putting your virtual paintbrush on the palette and click away to design a pair of golf shoes that are suitable for a 14-time major champion. Who knows? You may just design a pair for yourself while you are at it!

In the old days, golf shoes that looked like “tennis shoes” would have some of the stuffy, blue bloods turning up their noses to the members daring enough to lace them up. But, this line of shoes, originally inspired by the wildly successful line of Nike’s “Free” running shoes, has broken that mold. Tiger began tinkering with this type of lightweight yet supportive athletic-inspired golf shoe following his injury layoff in 2011, and he hasn’t looked back since he had the golf world buzzing when he strolled out in his first pair of white prototypes. This new model for 2014 offers either a waterproof version suitable for misty fall day at Bandon Dunes and a breathable mesh version, which would be at home on a steamy, summer morning in Orlando.

Designing the shoe on the website is as easy as you would expect from an outfit like Nike, which has offered consumers the opportunity to customize shoes on its Nike iD site since 1999. When you go to the contest page, a link from there will take you to the Nike iD TW’14 site where you can just start clicking away on the shoes while the design tool leads you through the process. Once you have your design complete, click on the Twitter icon to tweet your design.

Make sure to add #designfortiger @nikeid and @nikegolf to your tweet in order to be entered into the contest. There is no limit to how many entries you design. The only limit is that the contest ends in a few days (11:59 p.m. on Dec. 8).

Footjoy was the original golf shoe customization shop. Good thing Nike was able to capitalize on this “new innovation”

Pretty sure nike ID let you customize sneakers & cleats for other sports way before any other brand. It was only a matter of time before they allowed people to customize there own golf shoe. Maybe you should try a pair, you might like them.

Sorry, I take that back.

It’s nothing like Myjoys where you actually get the shoes you design.

Best ‘forgiving’ wedges – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing the most forgiving wedges on the market. WRXer ‘aaronpoling’ lays out his current setup and what he’s currently considering, saying:

“I am looking at getting new wedges, but looking for a forgiving wedge.

I currently play Ping G25 50°, MD4 54° and 58°. I used to play the CBX2 in the 50°, 54° and 58° and liked them a lot; but like any good dad, my son took them.

I am currently looking Callaway’s CB12 and Cleveland’s CBZ. Anyone have thoughts on these? Or recommendations of other wedges that I should check out?”

And our members have been weighing in with their thoughts and recommendations in response, with one brand coming out emphatically on top.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

boggyman: “CBZs are amazing wedges!”
drewbens: “Agreed, the Cleveland CB wedges are great! Already had a CBX Full Face 2 54 and recently added a 50 and 58 (for well under $100 a piece). Was chipping so well last week that my brother-in-law asked if the wedges were legal. Definitely underrated wedges for those of us that are not scratch golfers.”
BogeyTed: “Get Cleveland CBX/CBZ. Very underrated clubs.”
