The new Nike Air I Jordan Golf Shoes went on sale today. I’m not sure how I feel about them.

One Hand

On a classic, traditional, “this is golf not basketball” level, of course they’re going to be hated. Golf purists are going to lose their minds. It’s Rickie joggers all over again. You’re out here to stroll fairways not to improve your ups. Jordans are a far cry from Footjoys.

Many people are going to despise these, as they always do with new shit in this old ass game.

The Other Hand

But on the other hand, fuck the buttoned-up golf community. Fuck tradition. Fuck wearing strictly khakis, striped polos, visors and two-toned Footjoys. Wear what you want to wear. Wear what you think looks cool. To quote The King, “Swing your swing.”

I pretty famously (infamously/embarrassingly) like to experiment with golf gear. 

Now, while those may be pretty hideous/awesome/confusing, the Jordans are kinda fire. They’re sick shoes. In my opinion there’s no denying that, but still not sure yet how they’ll play, how many outfits they’ll go with (looking good on the course gets you about 90% of the way towards a successful round). Not sure how they’ll feel and look while pinching tight pitch shots or looking down over 3-footers (the POV view down on your shoes one of the most important aspects to good putting), but from the outside-looking-in, I think they’re FIRE.

Final Thought

At the end of the day it comes down to this — you can’t suck and rock these. You can’t be hacking it up, playing dogshit golf, and get away with fucking Air Jordan I golf shoes. No shot. You have to be absolutely striping it to pull these off. There’s nothing worse than the clown that struts out dressed head to toe like Eldrick Woods and shoots 110.

Am I good enough? Nope, but think it may be worth the purchase to toss these in the bag and, on that rare occasion I’m pureing it on the range, lace these puppies up for that round-of-the-year type day.

Also, Trent and I discussed these on the critically acclaimed no. 1 sports podcast in the universe.
