Nike Air Max 90 G Golf Shoes Design & Style

The style and design are one of the Nike Air Max 90 golf shoes strongest points, carrying the nostalgic and iconic look of the Air Max 90, which is appealing to many.

Drawing heavily from the classic Air Max 90 sneaker design, they have been adapted specifically for golf with spikeless traction for comfort and grip on the course.

The shoes feature a foam midsole and Max Air unit in the heel cushion, making these among the most comfortable golf shoes on the market.

They are designed with a waterproof layer to handle different weather conditions, however, they are best used as summer or spring golf shoes when golf courses are drier.

The shoe is largely made of mesh with TPU overlays, differing from its casual counterpart that has more premium materials like suede, leather or canvas.

This construction helps in maintaining its waterproof nature, a feature backed by a one-year waterproof warranty.

The shoes are available in White/Black, ‌Black/White, White/Game Royal/Photon Dust, White/University Red/Black/Photon Dust, Black/Infrared/Iron Grey and White/Black/Photon Dust/Game Royal.

Nike Air Max 90 G Golf Shoes Review: Are they any good?

The Nike Air Max 90 G is good but the fact they are more of a crossover between a stylish sneaker and a golf shoe means they won’t appeal to everyone.

They are particularly suited for golfers who value the aesthetic appeal, but for those seeking high-performance golf shoes with advanced ergonomics and technology​​​​​​ you may want to look elsewhere.

As we said, we like the style and they deliver plenty of comfort and performance​​​​​​ – just not the same level of traction as some other brands.
