Rory McIlroy Spotted Wearing Nike Special Edition Ryder Cup Shoes And Here Is How You Can Get Them
The iconic brand have released a European and American version of their Air Max 1 '86 OG and Air Zoom Victory Tour 3 golf shoes
Nike are known for producing some of the best golf shoes on the market, with the company worn by not just some of the biggest names in golf, but also the biggest and most recognized individuals in sport.
Whenever a big golf tournament comes about, you can be sure that Nike will be releasing a special edition of one of their models, with limited edition designs being seen at the Masters, when Brooks Koepka donned a yellow pair of Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour NEXT% NRGs.
Along with the Masters, Nike staffers were seen wearing Beatles-inspired footwear at The Open Championship, with a new design being revealed before the Solheim and Ryder Cups.
The pairs in question are the Nike Air Max 1 '86 OG and Nike Air Zoom Victory Tour 3 golf shoes, which have seen multiple makeovers in 2023. First things first, they are both some of the best Nikes golf shoes on the market, with the USA version unsurprisingly decked out in red, white and blue, with the words “Prestige. Tradition. Passion.” inscribed on the blue insoles.
Along with the wording, both USA models have stars running along the iconic Nike swoosh, with the Air Max 1 '86 OG featuring a full length mudguard in red running around the whole shoe. There are also lashes of blue on the toe and the insole, with the traditional Nike technology present throughout.
