GolfWRX x TRENDYGOLF USA: The hottest trends in golf footwear today – Functionality

Published

on

GolfWRX is and has been the destination for golf gear for some time—that is, everything that goes in your golf bag. But in addition to our best-in-the-industry coverage of club launches and what’s being played on tour, we want to bring you more info about exciting apparel and footwear trends in general and launches in particular.

The golf apparel and footwear landscape has changed massively since we launched the GolfWRX forums in 2008—long gone are the days of tent-sized polo shirts and saddle shoes as the only shows in town. To help play our way through the current course, we’re leaning on TRENDYGOLF USA, the self-professed “institution that wants to bring the latest designs from the trendiest designers around the world to the forefront of fashion, both on and off course.”

At GolfWRX, we believe the folks at TG USA are doing just that, and we couldn’t be happier to have them helping us with yardages and putt-reading, as it were.

First up, we took a look at the nostalgia-inspired footwear. Now it’s time to check out what’s on offer in the ‘Functionality’ department.

So lace ‘em up, and let’s walk this “functionality” landscape together!

Functionality

Nike

Nike’s Infinity Tour was a result of player input to create a better shoe for the modern swing. They were also able to pull over their most popular mainstream shoe and retrofit it for golf with the AirMax 270G.

Air Max 270 G – $150

Color Options: White/Dusty Cactus/Black

Air Zoom Infinity Tour – $160

Color Options: White/Baseball Blue, White/Volt, Black/White, White/Black

Adidas

Adidas is known for pushing the boundaries on products to improve functionality. This version of the Code Chaos is an example of that.

Adidas Code Chaos BOA – $216

Color Options: Black/Signal Green/White, White/Grey/Solar Red,

G/FORE

The MG4+ is brand new this season from G/FORE combining lightweight comfort and technical performance for maximum functionality.

MG4+ – $185

Color Options: Snow, Charcoal, Onyx, Twilight, Nimbus

Puma

While Puma has plenty of eye-catching footwear offerings (look no further than the feet of Rickie Fowler), the company isn’t afraid to put function first and focus on the traction pattern of the sole before the bold appearance of the upper as in the NXT Crafted.

Ignite NXT Crafted – $160

Color Options: Black, Navy

Stay tuned, as next up, we’ll be showcasing shoes with the highest hype factor!

Coolest thing for sale in the GolfWRX Classifieds (5/13/24): Full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs

Published

on

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for a full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs.

From the seller: (@CaymanS): “During the year of recovery from leg surgery that never quite healed, I was bored.  One thing led to another, and I ended up gradually building/acquiring the individual pieces to complete a set of “Tiger Slam” clubs.  They are what Tiger played to win 4 consecutive majors, which nobody has ever done.  This is not an exact replica of course, but something close that fit me to play a few times per year and experience what Tiger did.  But my bad leg, 4 shoulder tears, and age prevents me from the ball-striking needed to enjoy these to their fullest.  They may not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially since the driver and fairway shafts are regular flex and most players good enough to play these will need to change them, but it’s not a perfect world.  I am not a historian on this stuff, but my research indicates these are the same models Tiger used, with slightly different specs to fit me.

Full set $1,600, or…

…a donation for a Pro Kids fundraiser, or…

Driver: $70

Fairway: $250

Irons: $1,100

Wedges: $100

Putter: $350″

This is the most impressive current listing from the GolfWRX BST, and if you are curious about the rules to participate in the BST Forum you can check them out here: GolfWRX BST Rules
