Jordan to release Flight Runner golf shoes
The Jordan Brand, hugely popular for its line of Air Jordan basketball sneakers, is releasing Jordan Flight Runner golf shoes this month in honor of Michael Jordan’s passion for the game of golf.
Jordan’s Flight Runner Golf shoes have TRI-LOK soft spikes on the sole.
The limited-edition shoes combine technologies from Jordan’s Flight Runner performance shoes, and Nike Golf’s Nike-Free inspired tooling.
They have a mesh and synthetic upper for lightweight breathability, Flywire technology for foot support and what Nike calls a forefoot moderation plate in the midsole for stability.
Jordan’s Flight Runner Golf shoes will be available in both black and grey colorways this month on Nike’s website.
Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.
At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.
The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.
“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley
In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.
To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.
“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.
Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”

I don’t think the design on the step in part will be appreciated much as it could probably be rarely seen

Just buy a pair ot TW’s as they are always on clear out pricing as they aren’t worth the $$$, neither are these.

@ Jim and Shabby. Oh right, rather than be the thieving “african americans,” as you jerks so brilliantly stated, I’d rather be the rat white corporate leach that sucks the overpriced shoe dollars outta your peckawood pocket! I just love insecure non blacks, errrr…uhhh, african americans, coloreds, or whatever the latest term white men are comfortable with using.

I like ’em, I have kind of wanted a pair since I saw Keegan’s at Phoenix last year. I just wish they were leather or at least red/black.
Agreed
Jun 5, 2015 at 11:25 am
I like these. I was always intrigued by Keegan’s Jordans.
I like sport in general so I will give these a try.

of course it will be in the parking lots to steal the shoes

If this site has taught anything, it’s that certain people hate anything that makes their tastes or possessions seem dated. If you can’t get behind Jordan shoes, i’m sorry… they’ve been popular for 30 years now? might as well hate the personal computer because a calculator does the same work just fine!

I was just going to say (actually now I am) that I have always been a Nike basher . Like so many are TMAG bashers. But I recently got a pair of NIKE Lunar Command shoes and I am forced to give credit where due. Nike makes phenomenal golf shoes. Never thought I’d say that. Now if some TMAG bashers would give their products a chance we might all live in peace.

I like em. Looks like a good summer and shorts shoe. However it is a little weird to have a basketball logo on a golf product.

I agree about the logo, you would think they would have made something new for golf!

And not just one logo either. Looks like about 3 of ’em. I won’t consider them because of it.

These would be perfect if its warm and dry. The TW ’15 are pretty good in the morning dew and some mild post-rain conditions. Either way, the free sole on golf shoes is perfect for those of us who prefer walking.

The nice thing about FootJoy’s shoes is they do not fall apart and are not made with slave labor.

Right, because FootJoy closed their last US plant in 2009. Do they use a different type of “slave” labor?
