Golf World Firmly Rejects Latest Air Jordan Shoe Despite Stunning Design

The former NBA star player Michael Jordan has once again collaborated with Nike to create limited edition golf shoes. The Jordan brand has opted to go for traditional style with the ADG 4. And hopes the latest Air Jordan shoe will be a hit like its predecessors. However, does the golf world think the same? 

“A request from MJ himself,” the description about the latest shoe read. “The Jordan ADG 4 infuses an incredibly classic silhouette with retro Jordan flavor.” 

Being popular for designing sneakers suitable for basketball, the Jordan brand has made a lot of changes to the ADG 4 golf shoes. The stylish-looking shoe features a full-grain leather upper. Furthermore, the ADG 4 comes with the iconic elephant print design on the heels. 

The Nike react midsole is used to cushion the underfoot of the shoe. It also comes with a rubber outsole which would help in maximum traction on the course. Furthermore, the iconic Jumpman logo is given on the heel of the new ADG 4.

Michael Jordan is considered the GOAT of the NBA. He has won six NBA Championships throughout his career with the Chicago Bulls. Nevertheless, his love for golf is not a secret to anyone. 

According to an interview he gave to Golf Channel, the former star shooting guard considers golf “the hardest game to play.” Known for his competitiveness, the GOAT thinks the sport controls his urge to win as it is a battle against oneself. 

The golf world’s reaction to the latest Air Jordan shoe

It is not wrong to say that MJ is as passionate about golf as he is about basketball after his retirement. And it is his passion for the sport that made him contribute to golf. 

The Jordan brand hoped to create a comfortable yet practical shoe for the golfers. However, does the golf world like it?

The golf world took Twitter to express what they think of the new ADG 4 as soon as the Jordan brand revealed the first look.

The top line of this shoe is amazing but you have to do better for grip. Either go spiked like FJ or Gfore for spikless concept

It’s actually ludicrous. How is this flat waffle sole going to give any traction? Designed for fashion, not function. pic.twitter.com/YVccblq8s8

Good looking shoe. Don’t like the sole pattern. Also not a big fan of wearing Jordan shoes golfing

Look like great shoes for the ten pin bowling alley

I’m just not onboard without replaceable spikes

Since the ADG 4 does not come with spikes, the majority of the golf world rejected the idea of buying them to play golf. Furthermore, they didn’t find the shoes comfortable to play golf. However, the fans still appreciated its design and choose to buy them.

One of the better looking shoes I’ve seen from them. Better than high tops

Love the look, but the back will tear up your Achilles if you don’t wear longer socks. Would prefer a padded collar like G/fore.

These are beautiful.

Buy, looks clean!
