Jordan to release Flight Runner golf shoes
The Jordan Brand, hugely popular for its line of Air Jordan basketball sneakers, is releasing Jordan Flight Runner golf shoes this month in honor of Michael Jordan’s passion for the game of golf.
Jordan’s Flight Runner Golf shoes have TRI-LOK soft spikes on the sole.
The limited-edition shoes combine technologies from Jordan’s Flight Runner performance shoes, and Nike Golf’s Nike-Free inspired tooling.
They have a mesh and synthetic upper for lightweight breathability, Flywire technology for foot support and what Nike calls a forefoot moderation plate in the midsole for stability.
Jordan’s Flight Runner Golf shoes will be available in both black and grey colorways this month on Nike’s website.

TaylorMade is continuing its UDI/DHY series with the successor to the Stealth UDI and DHY utility irons: PUDI and PDHY (which the company styles as P·UDI and P·DHY). TaylorMade is folding the designs in with its P Series of irons.
TaylorMade outlined the process of developing its new utilities this way. The company started with the data on utility iron usage. Not surprisingly, better players — i.e. those who generate more clubhead speed and strike the ball more precisely — were found to gravitate toward the UDI model. DHY usage, however, covered a wider swath than the company might have expected with six-to-18 handicappers found to be bagging the club.
TaylorMade also found that the majority of golfers playing UDI or DHY utilities were playing P Series irons at the top of their iron configurations.
Can you see where this is going?
Matt Bovee, Director of Product Creation, Iron and Wedge at TaylorMade: “As we look to the future, beyond the tech and the design language, we are excited about repositioning our utility irons into the P·Series family. P·UDI is an easy pair for players that currently play P·Series product and P·DHY is an extremely forgiving option for players of all skill levels. It is a natural fit to give these players the performance in this category that they are looking for.”

TaylorMade PUDI
TaylorMade PUDI technology cutaway (via TaylorMade)
Crafted with tour player input, TaylorMade sought to develop a confidence-inspiring utility iron that blends with the rest of the P Series irons. Also of note: Interestingly, the PUDI has a more compact head than the P790.
In comparison to past UDI products, the PUDI has a more traditional iron shape, slimmer toplines, and less offset with a little of the backbar visible at address.
TaylorMade PDHY
TaylorMade PDHY tech cutaway (via TaylorMade).
Larger in profile than the PUDI, the PDHY seeks to position center of gravity (CG) lower in the club for ease of launch. The toe height is larger and the profile is larger at address — roughly five millimeters longer than PUDI — the sole of the club is wider for improved forgiveness.
Club Junkie’s take
Golfers who feel like they are missing something at the top of the bag could find the PUDI or PDHY a great option. The look of the PUDI should fit the most discerning eye with a more compact look, less offset, and a thinner topline. If you want a little more confidence looking down the P-DHY will be slightly larger while still being a good-looking utility iron.
For being small packages both models pack a pretty good punch with fast ball speeds, even off-center. The feel is soft and you get a solid feel of the ball compressing off the face when you strike it well. Your ears are greeted with a nice heavy thud as the ball and club come together. The PDHY will launch a little higher for players who need it while the PUDI offers a more penetrating ball flight. Both utility irons could be the cure for an open spot in the top end of the bag.
PUDI, PDHY, or Rescue?
TaylorMade offers the following notes to assist golfers in filling out their bags:
- PUDI has mid-CG right behind the center face to create a more penetrating mid-to-low ball flight
- PDHY has a lower center of gravity to produce an easier-to-launch mid-to-high ball flight.
- Both PUDI and PDHY are lower-flying than the company’s hybrid/Rescue clubs.
- PUDI is more forgiving than P790.
- PDHY is the most forgiving iron in the entire TaylorMade iron family

@ Jim and Shabby. Oh right, rather than be the thieving “african americans,” as you jerks so brilliantly stated, I’d rather be the rat white corporate leach that sucks the overpriced shoe dollars outta your peckawood pocket! I just love insecure non blacks, errrr…uhhh, african americans, coloreds, or whatever the latest term white men are comfortable with using.

I like ’em, I have kind of wanted a pair since I saw Keegan’s at Phoenix last year. I just wish they were leather or at least red/black.
Agreed

I like these. I was always intrigued by Keegan’s Jordans.
I like sport in general so I will give these a try.

If this site has taught anything, it’s that certain people hate anything that makes their tastes or possessions seem dated. If you can’t get behind Jordan shoes, i’m sorry… they’ve been popular for 30 years now? might as well hate the personal computer because a calculator does the same work just fine!

I was just going to say (actually now I am) that I have always been a Nike basher . Like so many are TMAG bashers. But I recently got a pair of NIKE Lunar Command shoes and I am forced to give credit where due. Nike makes phenomenal golf shoes. Never thought I’d say that. Now if some TMAG bashers would give their products a chance we might all live in peace.

These would be perfect if its warm and dry. The TW ’15 are pretty good in the morning dew and some mild post-rain conditions. Either way, the free sole on golf shoes is perfect for those of us who prefer walking.

Right, because FootJoy closed their last US plant in 2009. Do they use a different type of “slave” labor?
