A global powerhouse in the sportswear and sports footwear realms, Nike has also managed to become a force to be reckoned with in many individual sports - golf included.
Beyond golf shirts, jumpers, and caps, Nike golf shoes always prove to be a standout addition to any player’s golfing wardrobe.
Much like the brand’s infinitely popular trainers, Nike golf shoes have remained in high regard with players the world over for years now, with many making them their go-to footwear of choice whenever they step onto the golf course.
But what makes Nike golf shoes so appealing? Why do so many players opt for the shoes over rival brands? And how has the company seamlessly crossed over into the golf shoe market?
At Clarkes Golf, we’re home to a huge selection of golf shoes from leading golf manufacturers - including Nike golf shoes - so if you’re tempted to grab a new pair, you know where to look!
The factors that help Nike golf shoes stand out on golf courses
Diverse, eye-catching designs
One thing Nike has never been short of is a flair for impressive visuals and this trend has thankfully continued with their line of golf shoes.
Nike golf shoes are available in an array of looks, colours, and styles to suit the preferences of almost any golfer - all accentuated with the iconic Nike swoosh.
Whether you’re a fan of more minimalist tones with reserved colours, or much brighter, 80s-inspired themes, Nike golf shoes will have you spoilt for choice.
This is true for both the way the shoes look and the materials that are used. Among the catalogue, you’ll be able to find shoes that use materials adopted in the brand’s trainers, for a more comfortable and form-fitting shoe.
Or, the traditionalists amongst you will be happy to know the shoes are also available in top-quality leather, for a more robust and durable approach.
Innovative golf shoe technology
Along with looking great, Nike golf shoes are also known for pushing the boundaries when it comes to golf shoe technology.
For example, along with super-comfortable in-shoe cushioning to help keep your feet feeling relaxed and ache-free all the way through your round, some Nike golf shoes also include the company’s impressive air cushioning.
This nifty technology traps a pocket of air in the heel, to help alleviate impact and pressure as you walk from hole to hole, adding even more to the shoes’ comforting capabilities.
On top of this, most Nike golf shoes' waterproof (or water-resistant) technology is also often balanced with breathability. This helps keep your feet both dry as a bone when you get caught in a downpour, while also keeping your feet cool and feeling refreshed during days when the temperature suddenly rises.
Established brand awareness
Aside from being one of the world’s most famous sports brands, Nike has been able to keep itself at the forefront of the public’s mind by standing out with some of the more attractive, well-reviewed, or visually appealing shoe lines, to keep things fresh every few years.
The most notable of which, the Air Jordan line, became the most successful shoe launch in history when it first entered the market in April 1985. The company predicted annual sales of around $3 million. In actuality, Nike sold $126 million worth of Air Jordans in the first 12 months alone, annihilating expectations and creating marketing history in the process.
Today, you can still pick up a brand new pair of Air Jordans in almost any sports retailer. Because of their continued success, Nike decided to lend the Air Jordan title to their golf shoes, too. Air Jordan Nike golf shoes enjoy all the aesthetic advantages of their trainer counterparts, with the addition of technology golfers everywhere can benefit from.
This brand awareness extends to help from the many professional golfers the company has brought on board to help advertise their products as well. Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, and Brooks Koepka are just a few of the world-level players who’ve adorned Nike gear (including golf shoes) over the years - and this is barely scratching the surface.
