However my guess is this shoe will still get quite sweaty on a hot day. The tongue is also made of the same mesh upper although this isn’t covered with the waterproof material and so will allow for some air flow through the shoe in the summer months. While this helps make the upper waterproof it also significantly reduces the breathability of the shoes. Well the majority of the upper is a lightweight mesh material, it is covered with a very thin protective layer. The same can be said for the Phylon midsole, which as I say provides enough comfort to walk the course however is not nearly as comfortable as Nikes own react foam. The signature air bubble in the heel of the shoe is using technology from over 30 years ago and so simply cannot compete with newer technology designed to give a more comfortable ride. In fact if you’re looking for a pair of Nike sneaker style golf shoes, the Air Max 270 G are far more comfortable. I’m more than happy walking 18 holes on the course in these, but there are certainly some of the golf shoes out on the market. They’re certainly not the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn but equally I wouldn’t necessarily call them uncomfortable. In terms of comfort in these shoes are absolutely fine. However I’ve since bought the infrared versions and decided to go half a size up myself and personally I found them to be a much more comfortable fit that way, so I certainly recommend you try them on before you buy them to see how they fit your feet. Initially I went true to size with shoes and thought they were just about okay, but certainly if you have a wider foot recommended getting at least half a size up. Personally I’m a UK size 9 and have quite a narrow foot. If you want a closer look at the Infrared colour way you can check out my video hereL Various reports of social media suggests that there will be several other limited edition colourways dropping this year. They’ve since dropped an Infrared colour way which harks back to the original Air Max 90, as well as a somewhat garish NRG version featuring what can only be described as Alien Doodles all over (they were released to celebrate the fact that Golf is the only sport to have been played on the moon). Nike initially launched the shoe in three colours black, white and grey. Also, the mesh upper has a thin overlay which helps keep the upper waterproof, but also gives the shoe a plasticky look, which might not be for everyone. The AM90 G seem to fit a little narrower than the regular trainers.
If you look a little closer, there are some slight differences aside from the new outsole designed which will give you better grip on the golf course compared to a pair of sneakers. For the vast majority of golfers, you’re not going to be able to tell the difference between these and a regular pair. Nike have done a great job recreating the classic Air Max 90 silhouette for the golf course. However, I’ve done my very best not to let that cloud my judgement in this review, as while they look great, these golf shoes won’t be for everyone.
It’s my favourite sneaker of all time and I’ve owned serval pairs. I have to be honest up right up front here – I love the AM90 silhouette.
