Nike Golf's Wing It Pack Honors the Winged Foot Golf Club
This year's US Open is set in New York's Winged FOot Golf Club and Nike Golf celebrates the occasion with the drop of the Wing It pack this season. Leading the collection of eclectic footwear designs is the Air Jordan 5 Low G, focusing on the brand's 'Grape Ice' design.
This same design language follows through to the sportswear brand's signature Victory Tour, Air Max 97 G, the Roshe Tour G, and the Zoom Infinity Tour as well. The sneakers share the same tonal palette with white as the base foundation throughout the entire pack. This is then detailed with cool tones of blue in light and dark hues to accent the shoes. This is done to nod to the famous awning of the Winged Foot Golf Club Clubhouse.
