The most anticipated golf sneaker drop of the early season has arrived. Act fast, these shoes won’t sit for long. The Air Jordan 1 Low G has received a stylish makeover and is available now in three new colorways.

Worn on Tour by the likes of Tony Finau, Nelly Korda and (sometimes) Justin Rose, the Air Jordan 1 Low G is the hottest sneaker-style golf shoe on the market. And, if early reactions are any indication, these simple, subtle colorways are bound to sell out quick.

jQuery( document ).ready( function( $ ) { var slides = $( '#mgs_gallery_65ac157214801 .mgs-gallery-images .mgs-gallery-image' ).length; if ( slides 6 ) { slides = 6; } $( '#mgs_gallery_65ac157214801 .mgs-gallery-images' ).slick( { slidesToShow: 1, slidesToScroll: 1, fade: true, prevArrow: '', nextArrow: '', asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_65ac157214801 .mgs-gallery-thumbs', swipe: false, mobileFirst: true, } ); $( '#mgs_gallery_65ac157214801 .mgs-gallery-thumbs' ).slick( { slidesToShow: ( slides - 1 ), //less than number of slides, so it always shows infinite scroll (bugfix) slidesToScroll: 1, arrows: false, asNavFor: '#mgs_gallery_65ac157214801 .mgs-gallery-images', centerMode: true, focusOnSelect: true, infinite: true, mobileFirst: true, responsive: [ { breakpoint: 1023, settings: { slidesToShow: 3, }, }, { breakpoint: 600, settings: { slidesToShow: 1, }, }, ], } ); $( '#mgs_gallery_65ac157214801' ).magnificPopup( { delegate: '.mgs-gallery-trigger', type: 'image', gallery: { enabled: true, arrowMarkup: '', }, } ); } );

Each shoe features a waterproof leather upper, the iconic Jordan Jumpman logo on the tongue and the Wings logo on the heel. All sit atop a new gum outsole complete with a beefed up traction pattern that’s nearly identical to the OG Air Jordan 1.

I’ll say it again: if you’re on the fence, just take the plunge. I rock a pair of these to work (and to the range) on a weekly basis and let’s just say, I’m going to be snagging all three colors to rock and stock.

About the Kirkland Performance+ V3

What better time than now to take a look at the newest ball from the Kirkland Signature Performance series as it comes on the heels of a new driver and new iron set released by Costco’s golf division in mid-December?

This ball is available in two-dozen, 24-count packages which may be appealing to those golfers playing courses with impenetrable jungles out-of-bounds and/or water hazards on every hole.

The Kirkland Signature ball can be classified as a mid-high launch, high-spin ball. We certainly experienced this during our 2023 Golf Ball test.

The Kirkland Performance+ V3 is produced in Vietnam in the SM Parker factory that makes the PXG Xtreme ball.

In the past 15 years, watching golf has morphed into something few could have predicted. 

By the millions, people are watching the game—often played by strikingly average golfers—on YouTube. 

There is considerably more time spent consuming on-demand golf than any other form of passive off-course golf entertainment—including tuning into the professional game on TV. 

But the story goes a lot deeper than just time. There is a whole cultural movement toward YouTube golf. Videos are brimming with hundreds of comments. Channels, boasting millions of subscribers, have their own bustling Reddit pages, entire communities dedicated to seemingly random golfers who have embraced their own unique personas like characters in a sitcom. 

The golf itself is secondary. In some ways, that is the entire point of how it’s become so popular. 

In case you forgot, Japanese sportswear giant ASICS makes golf shoes. And they’re pretty darn good. 

While the brand typically has been more synonymous with running, their line of golf shoes has steadily grown since Dunlop took over their U.S. distribution. 

Now the popular GEL-KAYANO model, one of ASICS’ flagship running styles, is back for a second round on the golf course. Introducing the GEL-KAYANO Ace 2 golf shoes. This spikeless golf shoe is full of ASICS running tech to provide a comfortable, stable golfing experience.

A Storied History

As the self-proclaimed shoe guy of MyGolfSpy, I’d be remiss not to give you a quick history lesson about the brand. 

ASICS was founded in 1949 by Kihachiro Onitsuka. The brand’s first retail shoe was actually a basketball shoe, similar to the iconic Chuck Taylor model from Converse. Who would have guessed?
