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.
This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.
Joel Thelen
Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.
First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.
Mitchell Meissner
Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
Bud Cauley had >14 clubs in his bag when photographed prior to the Memorial Tournament.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.
@Lamosteve began:
Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. 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.
- macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
- JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”

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.
Adam
Jun 7, 2015 at 12:09 pm
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.

what a great idea to bring more african americans to the game of golf
of course it will be in the parking lots to steal the shoes

why did you even say “african american’s” its clear from the post which word you would prefer to use, grow up, its 2016

Buy extra glue because their shoes fall apart. I also have bought Keens and Keen is in Oregon like Nike. The fall apart the same way and have to reglue everything.

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.

COGolfer
Jun 2, 2015 at 12:19 am
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.
Jack
Aug 18, 2015 at 5:28 am
Right, because FootJoy closed their last US plant in 2009. Do they use a different type of “slave” labor?

A lot of TW14 in the sole. These shoes will definitely be breathable. Better check for rain before you leave with these on
