Today, Nike Golf announced the fourth generation of their Lunar Control golf shoe, the Lunar Control 4. At more than 120 MPH, Rory’s golf swing is one of the most powerful in the sport of golf – his ability to attack the ball with velocity while maintaining control over his swing arc requires strength and a strong base. When it all comes together, McIlroy declares, he’s able to “swing within himself.” This insight played a major role in the development of the Nike Lunar Control 4, which is designed to provide that ultimate base.

“I have been looking forward to wearing this shoe for quite some time. It’s a design I’ve been involved with ever since my first year with Nike,” says McIlroy, who will wear the Nike Lunar Control 4 at his upcoming tournament in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. “It gives me the confidence needed to maximize power in my swing with reliable control on the ground, especially off the tee.”

Like previous generations, the Nike Lunar Control 4 uses technology that has been developed across a variety of sport platforms to meet Rory’s needs as well as golf athletes at every level of the game. Dynamic Nike Flywire technology provides lateral support in the midfoot, while a new, robust external heel counter helps lock the foot in place through McIlroy’s swing.

The upper is reengineered of a lightweight microfiber that provides a soft, unrestricted feel. The tongue has been redesigned to wrap ergonomically around the ankle and provide a natural break when walking. The athletic design of the Nike Lunar Control 4 is highlighted by a Swoosh logo design on the vamp, an iconic aesthetic most familiar in the Nike Mercurial football boot, and one we’ve seen previously in a limited edition offering of the Nike Lunar Control 3. The same high-performance outsole and Nike Lunarlon midsole from the Nike Lunar Control 3 continues to offer superior traction and cushioning.
