Nike Golf: The Snake Pack

[slideshow_deploy id=’42143′]

Remember when Nike made the custom version of the Air Zoom Victory Tour for Rory McIlory at the PLAYERS Championship? The team at Nike Golf is at it again and have announced five Masters-specific shoes that their tour players will be wearing while playing Augusta National for the 2019 Masters Tournament. The shoes that will be getting a Masters-edition face lift include Nike Roshe G Tour, Nike Air Zoom Victory Tour, Nike React Vapor 2, Nike Air Max 1 G, and the Nike Tour Premiere. Although these were planned to be released to the general public, the official statement from Nike is that they will not be available for retail anymore due to unforeseen circumstances. Nike athletes will still be wearing these throughout Masters week though!

It is often said that this tournament doesn’t begin until the back nine on Sunday, and the Snake Pack is designed to flip the narrative of athletes being “snake-bit” down the stretch. Instead, Nike is giving its athletes the confidence to grab the snake by the head and take the tournament into their own hands. A snake print is featured on the upper of every shoe within the pack.

The iconic Praying Hands are also seen on the upper and insole of each silhouette, symbolizing the prayer athletes may need to get through one of the toughest 3-hole stretches in all of golf. Here is a nice surprise from Nike Golf too – the Jordan X1 Snake Pack edition… see below!
