2/17/2024 0 Comments Air max 90 golf shoe![]() If you’re a walker, the Nike Air Max 90 Infrared golf shoes are perfect. The same foam midsole and air unit provide enough cushioning to your feet but are still firm enough to withstand your rounds of golf. Same goes for the golf shoes 30 years later. (Check out our review of the AM1 golf shoe here.) The Air Max 90 was the next shoe three years later and it carried on the legacy of the visible air bubble. Nike introduced air cushioning into their shoes in the late 70s, but only made it visible for the first time in 1987’s Air Max 1. I don’t need a pair of “running” shoes to hold up to bunkers, aggressive swing tempos, and damp conditions. This makes sense to me, however, as the golf shoe is designed to hold up under fairly rugged use. The golf shoe on the other hand is a little thinner, firmer, and a tighter fit. The regular sneaker is somewhat plush and has a typical 90s thickness to it. I’d be lying to you if I said wearing the Nike Air Max 90 Infrared golf shoes feels just like wearing the classic sneaker. If you aren’t familiar with the original AM90, Nike turned heads with this stylistic running shoe in 1990 and it has captured the hearts of generations of shoe fiends ever since. Even in regular sneakers, Nike commonly butchers classic shoe profiles and the colors will be off even though they’re supposed to be the same as the OG. I am admittedly very biased here, but Nike did an excellent job capturing the AM90 silhouette and keeping the colors true. How do the Nike Air Max 90 Infrared golf shoes look? Absolutely perfect, that’s how. So when the Nike Air Max 90 Infrared golf shoe release was announced, I was, let’s say…pretty excited.Īn Infrared Air Max 90 just slightly modified for golf? Yes, please. Nike Infrared AM90s are one of those top 5. ![]() And they’re my top 5 by a mile, number 6 doesn’t even come close. My top-5 shoe ranking is not easy to break into and largely untouchable. You see, as a big shoe guy, I take my sneakers serious. This MIGHT BE the most excited I’ve been yet for a retro sneaker-inspired golf shoe. My sneakerhead tendencies are WELL documented here and many of these golf shoes have had this Chicago kid unreasonably excited. I’ve written quite a few reviews on this site for various Nike/Jordan golf shoes over the past years.
