The ifrothgolf review
Nike's flagship performance golf shoe in a spikeless, low-profile build. The Flyweave upper is fully waterproof and backed by a two-year waterproof warranty, and underfoot you get a pair of stacked Zoom Air units in the heel for that springy, cushioned ride Nike is known for. It is the same silhouette you will spot on Tour, worn by players like Brooks Koepka, but it is pitched squarely at golfers who want a shoe that feels like a everyday trainer the moment they lace it up.
What's great
Comfort out of the box is the headline. There is no break-in period, the ankle padding shrugs off blisters over long rounds, and it is light and breathable enough that 36 holes never feels like a slog. The waterproofing genuinely holds up in wet UK conditions, the modern look gets noticed, and despite the low weight the spikeless outsole keeps you planted through the swing.
Worth knowing
The honest gripes: the traction nubs on the sole are pretty sharp, and the gaps around the exposed Zoom Air units trap mud and are fiddly to clean. A few testers also felt the outsole could use more traction points for the very wettest, steepest lies. Sizing runs slightly narrow, so wide feet should try before buying. Sold here as the NEXT% 2 in white/malachite at the current price rather than the older full-RRP figure.
The verdict
If you walk and want a shoe that feels like a trainer but performs and waterproofs like a proper golf shoe, this is one of the most comfortable options going. Just be ready to pick mud out of the sole and size carefully if your feet are on the wider side.
