Nike TW ’15 Golf Shoes
Tiger’s newest golf shoes — Nike’s TW ’15 — made its debut via Tiger Woods’ Twitter account before a practice round at the 2015 Waste Management Phoenix Open. It’s woven with technology that makes it 10 percent lighter than its predecessor.
MY FOOTWORK HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER. EXCITED TO PUT THEM IN PLAY THIS WEEK. #TW15 PIC.TWITTER.COM/ABCQVOJLPV
— TIGER WOODS (@TIGERWOODS) JANUARY 27, 2015
Woods and Tobie Hatfield, Nike’s Senior Director of Athlete Innovation, collaborated on the design, which has Nike’s new Flyweave technology to give it a flexible, stable and form-fitting upper.
[quote_center]“Nike keeps answering the bell every time I want to push the envelope,” Woods said. “The new Flyweave technology provides even more stability and support for my foot, and when you pair that with the Free-inspired outsole, I noticed I can push off the ground better and finish my swing with power.”[/quote_center]
Flyweave first debuted in a Nike basketball shoe in 2014 and uses a one-piece woven upper that has a greater strength-to-weight support for stability during the swing, while offering the lightweight flexibility golfers require.
As with previous TW shoe generations, the TW ’15 shoes use a Nike Free-inspired outsole.
The Nike Free-inspired outsole on the TW ’15 also sits 3 millimeters lower than the TW ’14, and Integrated Traction in the toe area offers more flexibility, allowing golfers to better harness power throughout the swing without suffering from traction issues.
“TIGER EPITOMIZES POWER,” SAID HATFIELD. “HIS POWER STARTS WITH NATURAL MOTION WHICH BEGINS WITH UNLEASHING THE FOOT FROM THE GROUND UP. FLYWEAVE GIVES YOU THAT FLEXIBILITY COUPLED WITH SUPPORT.”
Hatfield’s original sketch was influenced by Woods’ love of fishing and diving — with design elements inspired by Octopus beaks and shark scales.
Nike’s TW ’15 shoes will be available on Nike’s website Feb. 2 as part of a limited run. The shoe will hit stores on March 5 (preorder Feb. 12) for $250 (MSRP) in three color ways (University Red/Black), (Metallic Silver/Black) and (Black/White).

As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.
The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.
On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.
Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.
At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.
“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.
Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.
“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.
“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.”
In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.
Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.
On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.
According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.
“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”

Don’t love these. I have a pair of the white TW ’13s and they’re the best golf shoe i’ve ever owned (much better than the ’14s). If I can’t find another pair of them somewhere in my size, I’d go with the new Lunar Control 3’s before the TW ’15s.

best golf shoe is Adidas 360 Tour – most stability then ever.

As an owner of the TW ’13s and 14s, which I agree were the best shoes made to the date, I am very excited for these. I’m gonna have to compare them with the Adidas Energy Boost, though, as I am on my second pair of the running shoes. Believe me, you’ve got to try the boost. It’s the most revolutionary foam in a shoe ever in my opinion. It makes every other shoe feel like walking in chunks of hard plastic. They just feel so different.

Octopus beaks and shark scales?
1. Sharks don’t have scales
2. Sharks don’t have scales
3. Why would an octopus’ beak have anything to do with a good golf shoe?
4. Lion feathers.

I’ve been a strong supporter of Nike sneakers / shoes (golf / tennis / basketball / cross-trainers) for over 25 years. In my opinion, there have only been two sneakers / shoes that were not better (or arguable worse) than a prior year’s product. . . The ’01 / ’02 Nike Zoom Tennis sneaker (the most uncomfortable competition tennis sneaker I’ve ever worn) and the TW ’14 (absolutely crippling over an 18-hole round – walking). The Lunar Controls have been great, the prior iterations of TW’s golf shoe (pre-free motion design) are great, even the 04′ nike shox golf sneaker were super comfortable. . . The newer TW’s, not so much. Just my opinion, I’m sure others differ.

This won’t be for everyone (obviously from the price point), but I like how Nike is getting their golf shoe collection in line with their other lines of sneakers (Jordan, etc) with the limited releases – makes perfect sense. I have a pair of the mesh version of the TW 14’s that I got through Nike ID, and I’ll probably get a pair of these as well. There’s a market of golf “sneakerheads” that these limited releases cater to – count me among that breed.
The high price points make sense when you know the shoe will be in high demand. Leads to reduced prices on the older models as well. Everyone wins.

I’ve still wear 2 pairs of the 8.5 and the 13’s I will give these a shot too when the price comes down. 13’s are the most comfortable. Yes, I am a shoe Ho!

I notice Rory and a lot of other players not all of them Nike staffers are very happy with the lunars, the only person other than tiger I have seen wear the tw shoe is Francesco molinari. Says a lot about a shoe when virtually no one other than the guy who’s name is on them will wear them. I would buy the lunars because they are better in wet weather and cheaper. Pros don’t need to worry about those considerations and yet many of them still don’t wear them.
Kyle

Other pros don’t wear them because they have TW on them….
Michael

Exactly what Kyle said. Not many athletes want to wear a shoe with someone elses name on them. Not to mention a lot of tour players are not allowed to wear competitors shoes.

And why would you have fewer spikes in the wrong places, when guys like Ben Hogan ADDED spikes on the edges so they have more grip? What a stupid shoe

Yeah because Ben hogan had all of the technology back then to know where the optimal places for spikes were..

I wouldn’t doubt he’s still conscious of his knee problems and torquing while having your feet stapled to the ground isn’t the best idea. You need a little slippage.
