Nike Golf reveals Brooks Koepka's Air Zoom Infinity Tour golf shoe

“Golfers look at their clubs and golf balls as pieces of equipment, but never really their footwear,” says Matt Plumb, Nike Golf Product Line Manager.

"Brooks was instrumental in the Air Zoom Infinity Tour iterative process, helping us get to the point where we can now help golfers look at their footwear as part of their equipment on the course." 

Nike’s Air Zoom Infinity Tour golf shoe releases April 1 on nike.com.

The source of a golfer’s kinetic energy comes from the feet, and every time a golfer swings, they lose some of that energy. This is where Nike Air Zoom Infinity Tour steps in, re-harvesting and redistributing some of that lost energy. 

Analyzing data from pressure maps, Nike designers looked at where traction elements need to be positioned on the shoe for an ultimate return on movement. Developing a holistic system that transfers more power up the kinetic chain, Nike obsessed the areas of fit (to reduce in-shoe movement), ride (for maximum energy retention) and traction (for zero slip in any direction).

Koepka was forced out of the Presidents Cup last month after needing extra time to overcome his recent knee injury.

The World No.1 looked to be heading back in the right direction with a fast start at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship last week, but his game proved inconsistent thereafter and he finished in a disappointing tie for 34th.
