They removed the Zoom strobel but beefed up the React midsole and added the two visible air units in the forefoot. I was glad to see that Nike listened to golfers like me and retooled the setup to make these mad comfy. Last year’s pair featured a React midsole and Zoom strobel, yet I found them rather uninspiring and stiff. My favorite part of the Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour NXT% is the cushion. Even when I got myself into some sticky situations on the course, I found myself completely confident in the traction of the Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour NXT%. Spiked offerings such as this should, at minimum, stop you from slipping.

I didn’t notice any slippage while playing in these, which I expected. The ground is unpredictable, and traction like this counteracts it and keeps you upright. Think of it like a pair of cleats there’s a reason that all sports played on grass/turf use some sort of cleat or spike. Spiked traction like this is good because it really digs into the ground when applying force.

The TPU spikes offered plenty of traction and grab, and the accompanying ridges and nubs provided more traction in critical areas to help reduce slipping. Like the original Air Zoom Infinity Tour, the Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour NXT% features a spiked sole with four massive spikes to keep you grounded. I felt that they mixed the textiles and premium materials in a way that added to the overall package and design of the shoe. Most TOUR-worthy golf shoes feature some premium materials, so this was a must. This pair (the special colorway that Nike released for The Masters) features some amazingly lush long hair suede on the heel, a touch that you shouldn’t overlook. It might sound weird, but the heel is my favorite part. The mesh upper is light and breathable, while the leather overlays and swoosh take things up a notch. The materials on my pair of Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour NXT% are nothing short of stellar. Nonetheless, golf apparel is quickly becoming more tapered, athletic, and sleek when compared to the past, so I think the Infinity Tour NXT is perfect for the modern era of golf. To me, the shoe looks like a running shoe or at least gives off that vibe. The Infinity Tour NXT% is one of those shoes you wouldn’t know is a golf shoe unless you looked at it from the sole up. I love a visible air unit, especially on a golf shoe, so that’s what caught my eye right at the start. The Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour NXT% is, in my opinion, one of Nike’s best-looking offerings to date.
