Nike to release Air Zoom 90 IT golf shoes
If you’re a golfer who likes to wear sneakers, this new wave of golf shoes designed to look like classic sneakers, primarily driven by Nike, is probably a dream come true.
Recent Sneaker-Inspired Nike/Jordan Golf Shoe Releases
- Nike releases Jordan Trainer ST golf shoes
- Air Jordan 6 Golf shoes will be released
- Jordan to release Flight Runner golf shoes
The latest addition to the golf-sneaker space is Nike’s “Air Zoom 90 IT,” designed after the classic Air Max 90’s, originally created by Nike sneaker genius Tinker Hatfield. The golf versions of the familiar silhouette have a weatherproof “bootie.” In other words, they’re slip-ons. They also have “forefoot Zoom technology” for comfort near the toe, and a full-length midsole made of phylon.
The Air Zoom 90 IT shoes will be available in two colorways; black/white on May 13, and white/black on June 1. Check out more pictures in the gallery below, provided by Nike.

Why Wesley Bryan is playing two 4-irons this week
Editor’s note: This is an excerpt from a piece our Andrew Tursky originally wrote for PGATour.com’s Equipment Report. Head over there for the full article.
…Flash forward to THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson 2024 at TPC Craig Ranch in Texas, and Bryan is still playing with a mixed Takomo set, except he’s added a new 101 U 4-iron, plus a Titleist T200 4-iron, and he’s dropping his 5-iron.
That bears repeating: Bryan is switching to an iron setup that consists of two 4-irons and no 5-iron.
On paper, that looks wrong, but when you look at yardage gapping instead of the number on the sole of the iron, things start to make more sense.
As Bryan explained to GolfWRX.com on Tuesday in Texas, his Takomo 301 CB 6-iron goes about 195-200 yards. Then, his new hollow-bodied Takomo 101U Driving Iron, which he recently started testing “a couple weeks ago” and bent about 2 degrees weak, goes about 220 yards, and the Titleist T200 4-iron goes about 235 yards.
Speaking on his new Takomo 101U Driving Iron, which sells for $119, Bryan had this to say:
“It’s super forgiving and launches high, and it has a bit longer of a profile to where it looks really good,” said Bryan. “If people are willing to play something that doesn’t have an expensive price tag on their club…[I started testing it] in the last couple weeks and it’s in the bag.
“I just made it like 2 degrees weaker. Basically that gap from 205 to 225 I was in a little bit of a dead space, so I’m going to try and fill that gap better.”

Most forgiving players irons? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing players irons. WRXer ‘NorthTXGolf’ is on the hunt for some new irons but is putting a priority on forgiveness, and has reached out to fellow members who have been sharing their thoughts and advice on the subject in our forum.
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.
- Sam217: “i230 has got to be one of the most forgiving players irons available. Cobra King Tour another. Don’t sleep on the New Level 480 DB coming out soon.”
- RangeBaller: “ZX5/ZX7 and i230 should definitely be in your testing pool.”
- YAMS49: “Another I210 homie here… Very highly recommended if you want/need spin and a consistent yardage.”
- golf-RN: “I second the Cobra King Tour irons. I am not the greatest ballstriker by any stretch of the imagination and I find the King Tours very forgiving. Toe strikes might lose 5 or 6 yards with no directional loss. You definitely feel the miss though lol but mishits from the center aren’t punished too hard regarding distance.”

These are slick… hopefully Nike Golf has stepped their game up in the comfort zone. These will fly off the shelf and i think golfers will actually enjoy gaming these. the Jordan golf shoes on the other-hand are terrible in my opinion. Footjoy still king of the hill in golf.

stepped up their game in the comfort zone? Considering they make the most comfortable golf shoes in the industry, is it possible for them to step up their game? Then again, you do quote FootJoy as the king, so more than a few synapses stop short of reaching your brain.
