Rory McIlroy debuts limited-edition Nike Lunar Control 3 shoes

Published

on

During the final round of the 2015 Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday, Rory McIlroy debuted limited-edition Nike Lunar Control 3 golf shoes, which display the iconic Nike Swoosh in an uncommon spot.

The metallic, cool grey Nike Swoosh on top of the toe, combined with a bright orange and white upper, make the shoes both loud and unusual — exactly what Nike was going for.

[quote_box_center]“We set out to be disruptive with this shoe,” said James Arizumi, Nike Golf’s Design Director of footwear. “We challenge the status quo by placing the Swoosh on top of the shoe in the toe area, instead of on the side.”[/quote_box_center]

The shoes are made with a wide sole, and boast familiar technology also used in Nike’s Lunar Control 3 line including FlyWire for lateral support, full-length Lunarfoam on its midsole for lightweight cushioning and a carbon fiber midfoot shank for additional stability.

Nike’s limited-edition Lunar Control 3 golf shoes are still currently available at nike.com for $170.

    Limited edition golf shoes? Are they kidding? No marketing sense whatsoever.

        I’m not sure about the shoe, but I know one thing, they are one of the best companies in the world for marketing!

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

on

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.
