Breathable Comfort - Breathable textile helps your foot stay cool.

The result is an incredibly responsive, comfortable shoe that you're going to love. Increased overall volume to give your foot more room, updated forefoot cushioning to include 2 Zoom Air units for even more energy transfer through your swing and added more traction in key areas to help reduce slipping. Nike have listened to the feedback they had on the Infinity Tour, refined it and brought it to life on the Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour NEXT%.

It will be interesting to see if the Air Zoom Infinity Tour creates a new standard for Nike Golf footwear moving forward and where they go from here. I found them to be comfortable over 18 holes and they were an absolute performer as a piece of golf equipment. That said, you can’t deny that it’s an impressive combination of tried and true Nike technologies that flat out work. I totally understand that the Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour might not be the golf shoe for everyone. The REACT midsole and “Zoom Air Strobel” (the layer between the midsole and the upper) also contribute to excellent ground feedback that’s as good as any golf shoe I’ve worn.įinal Thoughts – Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour The traction pattern on the sole creates the right grip that allows for natural mobility throughout the swing without losing control. What I can say is that the Air Zoom Infinity Tour has a tremendous blend of traction, mobility, and feedback during the golf swing. Surprisingly, I just don’t have access to the same tech Nike does. Developing a holistic system that transfers more power up the kinetic chain, Nike obsessed the areas of fit (to reduce in-shoe movement), ride (for maximum energy retention) and traction (for zero slip in any direction).Īdmittedly, I didn’t get on a Trackman or use any other tech to really measure this. This is where Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour steps in, re-harvesting and redistributing some of that lost energy.Īnalyzing data from pressure maps, Nike designers looked at where traction elements need to be positioned on the shoe for an ultimate return on movement. The source of a golfer’s kinetic energy comes from the feet, and every time a golfer swings, they lose some of that energy. Rather than explain it myself, I’ll just lift this straight from Nike: Sure, Nike has used innovative sole and spike designs in the past, but the transparent sole with a wild traction pattern is an attention grabber. The Air Zoom Infinity Tour’s new traction system was the first thing that caught my eye. I usually wear an 11 US “medium” and the Air Zoom Infinity Tour felt more narrow than usual, but it wasn’t uncomfortable or unwearable due the softer upper. While the shoe is fairly snug around your foot, it’s true to size in length. Though the tongue and Achilles look high, the upper is actually more of a lower profile. The waterproof Flyknit upper is lightweight, but also snug around your foot for great support. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very comfortable, but it feels more like a purpose-driven performance golf shoe that will hold up over 18 holes. If you’re expecting a super pillowy and soft pair of shoes, the Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour isn’t exactly that. I still think they look sick in this colorway and will be a regular in my summer golf rotation. The whole shoe was based on a simple request from Brooks Koepka in 2017 – “make me a running shoe I can golf in.” I’d say mission accomplished in the looks department. The higher tongue and Achilles are somewhat different looking, but don’t look awkward once on foot.Ĭlearly the Air Zoom Infinity Tour looks like a running shoe, but that’s no accident. There are pretty basic all white and black options, but the clear star of the group is the white/black/flash crimson/volt colorway pictured here. Nike released the Air Zoom Infinity Tour in three different colorways at initial launch. I’ll link to more information around that at the end. The Air Zoom Infinity Tour borrows a lot of technology utilized by Nike in other sports. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the release of this shoe was slightly delayed, but they’ve officially landed and golfers wasted no time scooping up their pairs. Their latest is the running shoe-inspired Air Zoom Infinity Tour as worn by Brooks Koepka. Whether it’s high-performing shoes for their Tour players, or classic sneaker-based shoes like Jordans and Air Max models, Nike Golf keeps cranking out hits. While I’m not saying everything they do is great or is everyone’s cup of tea, you can’t deny that they aren’t all of those things. New tech, innovative designs, state of the art materials, and generally trend setting are all synonymous with Nike Golf.
