Tiger Woods Gets A Pair of Golf Nike Frees

Nike Frees are kinda my new obsession so it’s pretty cool to see the Nike Innovation Kitchen cook up a special pair of Golf Frees for Tiger Woods. Tiger debuted this shoe over the weekend in the above black colorway but a white colorway was also made.  Check out some notes from the Nike press release as well as some other photos after the jump.

“Ahead of his return to competitive action, Tiger Woods has been working with one of the Directors within NIKE’s Innovation Kitchen, Tobie Hatfield, and NIKE Golf on a FREE-inspired prototype shoe that Tiger will wear during this week’s WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.

Originally developed in 2004 by a group led by Hatfield, NIKE FREE is a ‘natural motion’ technology that is designed to mimic and conform to the natural motion of the foot, coupled with the protection and traction of a lightweight performance shoe.

“I love the feel of NIKE FREE for training, so I asked Tobie if it was possible to bring that technology to the golf course. It’s exciting to see a conversation like that come to life and I look forward to wearing them this week,” added Tiger.

The majority of the upper consists of a polyurethane coated stretch fabric, also seen within the construction of NIKE Basketball’s Hyperfuse 2011. Part of the heel is created from recycled NIKE Air Max units melted into thread and then woven together to create a strong, breathable textile material. The FREE-inspired outsole is directly taken from NIKE Sportswear’s Special Field Boot designed for first-responders.

Photos: Air Jordan V – White / Legacy Red

This Legacy Red colorway is fire! The Jordan 5′s have had quite a year between these, the Wolf Grey’s, the Independence Days, and the original Black / Silvers coming out later this year. This White / Legacy Red drops this Saturday August 13ths but I’m still trying to confirm if it’s a regular adult release along with the scheduled grade school release. Hit the jump for more photos.

Nike SB Dunk Low – Pro Iron

Sometimes simpler is better. And for that reason, I really dig these “Pro Iron” Nike SB Dunk Lows. The medium grey / Carolina blue colorway is available at SB carrying boutiques.

Nike Zoom Kobe VI – Gorge Green x Venice Beach

More and more dope Nike Zoom VI (6) colorways keep releasing. Check out the “Gorge Green” edition above that’s hitting retailers very shortly. I think Nike Basketball should have dropped that during the NBA season the Celtics who rocked Kobe’s could have killed in that court (although Rondo did have some sick P.E.’s).

After the jump you can find another super exclusive custom “Venice Beach” colorway that blends perfectly with the sands and water of Venice Beach.

You saw the early photos of the Concord XI’s, now check out the photos of the shoebox packaging that they’ll be sold in. In typical Air Jordan 11 fashion, the box will be have a drawer and this specific box will have the same colorway as the shoe.  Pretty dope.  Hit the jump for more photos. Holiday 2011 can’t come soon enough.

Air Jordan XI “Concord” Available Holiday 2011

This is what everyone’s waiting for! The big Jordan Brand retro comes every Holiday season and for 2011 it’s the Concord 11′s. ModernNotoriety is usually on point with the pictures they post so this could very well be what we’ll see come November / December. The soles don’t look as icy as they should be (a little too blue) but I’m sure that won’t hold any buyers back.
