A shoe that looks like a runner, responds like a basketball sneaker, is resilient as a soccer cleat, and feels like a cloud—that’s what Nike has achieved with their most innovative golf shoe, the Air Zoom Infinity Tour.

By incorporating design features from various athletic shoes across the company’s lineup, these kicks are a performance-driven engineering feat. Inspired by PGA Tour Professional Brooks Koepka and his fondness for wearing runners while practicing. The Air Zoom Infinity Tour may have the appearance of an running shoe, but in fact has layers of technology that is revolutionary to the golf shoe market.

The shoe leverages Flyknit for the upper, a super durable fibrous material Nike uses for its soccer cleats, REACT foam for energy return on every step, and their signature Zoom Air Strobel footbed—found in many of their basketball kicks. On the traction side, Nike once again went all out, enlisting a flock of designers to create a system that leverages the foot’s natural rotation throughout the swing, providing stability and energy return. The final result is a shoe that’s as athletic as the players who wear it.
