The big news as of writing this review is that Nike has announced that they are leaving the club, ball, and bag game to focus on innovating and advancing their apparel and shoe business.

As I mentioned before, the Air Zoom 90 IT has a single-piece inner lining that gives the shoe a more snug fit, and this also gives your foot more support so you don’t slip or lose balance. True, the sole of the Nike Air Zoom 90 IT is not fitted with tradition golf spikes, but the “Integrated Traction” (IT) provides almost spike-like traction and a good feel of the ground beneath your feet. The line between spiked and spikeless golf shoes is starting to get somewhat blurry. I’m not a big Nike golf shoe guy these days, but from looks alone right now, I think these could be my favorite golf shoe. For Air Max 90 “Infrared” freaks like me, you can even find a familiar looking option to make all of your wildest dreams come true. As always, for the players not into the bright and bold looks, Nike has made white/black and black/white versions. The current golf style trends seem to be gravitating toward a more street casual look and the Air Zoom 90 IT falls comfortably into that group without seeming like an out-of-place retro throwback. If you’re a sucker for 90’s era Nike running shoes like I am, then the Nike Air Zoom 90 IT is going to fit the bill for you. Overall, I found the Air Zoom 90 IT to be extremely comfortable and a great “street to course” shoe that I could be comfortable wearing all day. This makes the shoe perform better while playing. The inner liner is a single piece which gives the shoe a supportive and snug fit. If this is the sacrifice I have to pay for support and waterproofing, I’m good with it. So far I’ve only used the Air Zoom 90 IT in normal summer conditions, so I can’t speak to how well the waterproofing works, but I did notice that shoe is a little on the toasty side. The Air Zoom 90 IT uses Nike’s renowned Zoom Air cushioning system in the forefoot to give you a nice pillowy, responsive cushioning.

Though the Nike Air Zoom 90 IT looks a lot like the famous Air Max 90, it’s really quite different beyond just the golf specific sole. Those are perfect.” After responding to my friend with an assertive, corrective text message, I began counting down the days until I could own a pair.

I turned on the TV to see him wearing an all white version of the Air Zoom 90 IT shoe and said to myself “No, those aren’t ridiculous at all. My first exposure to the Nike Air Zoom 90 IT golf shoe was a text message from a good friend of mine telling me to turn on the TV and check out these ridiculous new Nikes Rory was wearing. black is fine.The Nike Air Zoom 90 IT golf shoe is a killer new option for sneakerheads and also for the serious golfer looking for good comfort and performance. Tip for boot manufacturers - Black is fine guys, really. Lamentably, however, they didn't make me a better footballer (though thankfully they didn't make me any worse either). Nike don't make better boots than anyone else, I'm sure, but right now their 90's represent great value and are certainly good enough for regular competitive standard. My vote is always to avoid the fads - let's face it a boot is a boot is a boot - stay a year behind the new products, get yourself leather boots for 20 quid, and you can say in most cases you've done well. I'd say you do get a good product for a very good price now, but of course this is due to the amount of supply, and next year when Nike (or whoever) launch a new range of something else, all the marketing and production money will be in that. The astro's I have are fine but wear a bit on the upper instep for some reason, but no worse than other brands. I have a set of screw in boots, which have lasted a season and a half on England's muddy parks, and which I bought for a song in a discount sports store.

This has all been going on for a couple of years now, and I'm sure anyone who's tried to buy some boots or astro's in that time recognizes what I'm saying.Īs for the product, well despite any reputation sports manufacturers might have, and avoiding any commentary on the ethical labor debate, the 90 range seems to do the job pretty nicely. Not sure Nike can take all the credit though, as some of the supply and price competitiveness is due entirely to the budget sports shops in the UK getting their hands on enough stock to cause a price war. Fair play to them pushing the lower end of the market in this way, to counter Adidas and Puma with their Predator/King offerings, which were ludicrously expensive when the boot itself costs a couple of quid to make, or thereabouts. This is largely down to superior marketing and a massive market share effort by Nike, flooding the market, saturating supply, and therefore providing a superior brand (at least in terms of desirability) at a low price. 90's are now as ubiquitous as any other boot at any time.
