Nike Releasing Tiger Woods' Retro Golf Shoes

Tiger Woods' first Nike golf shoes are restocking ahead before the Gensis Invitational.

As the PGA Tour ramps up for a new year, all eyes are on Tiger Woods. The living legend will hit the greens at the Genesis Invitational this week. Simultaneously, Nike will be releasing Woods' retro golf shoes for the first time in a decade.

The Nike Tiger Woods '13 is scheduled to release on Friday, February 17, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. The retro golf shoes will cost $240 in adult sizes on the Nike website.

The Nike Tiger Woods '13 features a breathable white upper, black Swoosh logos and outsoles, with red detailing including the signature Tiger Woods logo on the shoes' tongues. 

Despite being ten years old, the technology used in the retro golf shoes still holds up. Below is everything golfers must know about the shoes' tech specs before making such a pricy purchase.

The inspiration for the Nike Tiger Woods '13 came from the golfers' love of Nike Free training shoes. The engineered outsole mimics and conforms to the foot's natural motion, and Woods wanted that technology incorporated into his golf shoes back in 2013.

According to Nike, the innovative outsole helps you keep contact with the ground longer, which better harnesses the foot's energy. In addition, the lightweight performance golf shoe comes with removable spikes and spike receptacles for an unbeatable grip.

Nike’s Dynamic Fit system also offers targeted support, delivering a strength-to-weight ratio and one-to-one fitted support. In addition, the Flywire-infused nylon straps extend 360 degrees from the footbed to the lacing system, securing the foot for an adaptive fit.

The Nike Tiger Woods '13 and its namesake are ten years older than when the shoes were last released, but there are no signs of either slowing down. Now is the perfect time to purchase the retro golf shoes and hit the greens before Tiger-mania takes off again.
