Nike Lunar Technology Keeps Soaring with the Introduction of the Nike Lunar Ascend

-Nike Golf combines innovative technologies to create the ultimate lightweight summer golf shoe-

Leveraging the success of the Nike Lunar Control men’s golf shoe, Nike Golf is expanding its Lunar offering with the addition of the new Nike Lunar Ascend men’s golf shoe.  Loaded with innovative Nike technology, the Nike Lunar Ascend features Nike’s Hyperfuse construction and Integrated Traction.

Available on January 1, 2012, The Nike Lunar Ascend is engineered with the ingredients of the perfect lightweight and breathable golf shoe that combines stability and the comfort of Lunar cushioning.  To achieve these optimal combinations, Nike Golf collaborated with Nike Inc. to utilize Hyperfuse construction to deliver the perfect summer golf shoe.

An upper construction technique that originated in Nike Basketball, Hyperfuse construction is an innovative multi-layered construction that ensures lightweight support, comfort, breathability and durability.  Hyperfuse is an engineered composite of three different materials: an internal synthetic underlay for structure and support, a performance mesh layer for breathability and a thin TPU durable outer layer for additional protection and support.  The base stability layer and the breathable layer are fused together with the thin TPU skin layer for a no-sew construction.  Hyperfuse construction allows the Nike Lunar Ascend to achieve structure and stability while maintaining lightweight breathability. This Nike innovative technology results in a serious performance golf shoe.

The Nike Lunar Ascend utilizes the Tour-proven Lunarlon foam cushioning paired with an Integrated Traction performance outsole. Integrated Traction is a molded TPU outsole that enhances traction and ground feel while reducing the overall weight of the shoe. The lower profile of the Nike Lunar Ascend increases stability while utilizing Integrated Traction to eliminate spike pressure and maintain traction.  The Integrated Traction outsole allows more flexibility and greater natural motion for the foot.

Developed in Nike’s Innovation Kitchen, Lunarlon cushioning system is another proprietary technology from Nike that offers underfoot comfort, ground feel and stability. The Lunarlon foam midsole is lightweight, durable and highly responsive resulting in a unique combination of cushioning and support.

Packed with golf-specific technology, the Nike Lunar Ascend is the pinnacle lightweight and breathable performance summer golf shoe.

Key Features:

  • Hyperfuse technology combines synthetics, mesh and TPU
  • Lunarlon cushioning in heel
  • Full-length comfort sockliner
  • Full-length TPU Integrated Traction
  • Nike Power Platform

Nike Golf Shakes Up Traditional Golf Style with the Introduction of the Nike Golf Sport Apparel Collection

-For Spring 2012, Nike Golf enables athletes to show their true colors and play irreverent golf-

To complement Nike Golf’s industry-leading Tour Performance line of apparel, the Nike Golf Sport Collection delivers new style choices.  With bold and statement-making styles, Nike Golf’s Spring 2012 Sport Collection empowers athletes to show their true colors and express themselves both on and off the course through the passion of sport.

Nike Golf apparel exudes high energy, but the 2012 Sport Apparel collection goes further in delivering youthful styling to golfers who want an exuberant, expressive look.  The Sport Collection features new designs for polos, cover-ups, pants, shorts and headwear that represent a vibrant and irreverent passion for golf as a modern and athletic game for all ages and attitudes.

The Sport Collection features playable, technical golf apparel that integrates Dri-FIT and cotton-blend fabrication to keep golfers cool and comfortable.  The materials signal a return to the comfort in performance Dri-FIT blends for a more relaxed and casual attitude, but are still designed and styled to be authentic to golf.  Silhouettes in the Nike Sport Collection are trim and tidy.  With a slightly slimmer fit and cotton-blend fabrics, the Sport Collection styles are bold and stylish.

Color is the noise in the Nike Sport collection with an emphasis on Safety Orange, an iconic Nike staple, in both body colors and details.  Notable among the new releases is the Jersey Swoosh polo (MSRP $75.00) and the Sport Heather Pant (MSRP $110).  The Jersey Swoosh polo has a sleek-fitting cut, a variety of bold seasonal colors and Nike’s patented Dri-FIT technology.  The Sport Heather pant is a new slim-fit cut that uniquely blends classic fashion with modern details for golfers who want to look stylish while maximizing their performance on the course.

“Our Men’s and Women’s Sport Collections provide an exciting new apparel line with a different point of view towards the sport of golf,” said Doug Reed, Global Category Business Director, Nike Golf Apparel and Footwear. “This collection gives consumers an alternate way to enhance their ‘expression of golf attitude and style’ both on and off the golf course.  The Nike Golf Sport Collection gives the athlete a new look and feel for golf apparel that moves beyond the traditional boundaries of golf.”

Nike Golf Pays Tribute to the Iconic Nike Dunk Shoe with the Introduction of the Nike Dunk NG

There will be a familiar iconic shoe showing up on the feet of Nike Athletes Michelle Wie and Anthony Kim.  Both young athletes will be sporting the new Nike Dunk (NG) Golf shoe. Wie will debut the colorful shoes at this week’s Women’s Canadian Open and Kim will wear them in the coming weeks on the PGA Tour.

A Nike brand franchise with a wide appeal, the Dunk has history, heritage, and a consumer cultural connection that Nike Golf respects and celebrates.  The new Nike Dunk NG, which inspires individuality and personal expression, will now be available for golfers starting January 1, 2012.

A TOUCH OF NIKE DUNK HISTORY
The original Nike Dunk was created as a basketball shoe in 1985.  After it was introduced to the world, the Nike Dunk started a commotion when basketball teams began wearing them to match their uniforms.  New to the scene and already making a lasting impression, the Nike Dunks enjoyed a widespread following and massive popularity almost instantly.

The Nike Power Platform outsole of the Nike Zoom Advance has been updated to incorporate a secondary Power Channel.  This enhancement allows for even greater natural motion and smoother weight transfer for more power through impact.

Old World Craftsmanship Meets New World Performance with the Launch of the Nike Tour Premium Golf Shoe

379220_TourPremium_BTY_2Nike Golf is introducing a new shoe that combines premium performance with a luxurious look and feel.  The new Nike Tour Premium shoe is the iconic brand’s innovative take on a traditional, classic, premium golf shoe, with the addition of Nike’s renowned performance-enhancing technology.  Nike Golf athlete Stewart Cink will be putting the new Nike Tour Premium in action this week at the TOUR Championship.  This shoe will be available at retail on October 1, 2009 with an MSRP of $250.

Featuring soft, full-grain leather uppers for maximum support and great feel, the Tour Premium is designed to meet the exact needs of golfers who place a premium on performance, without wishing to compromise on comfort.

Adding backbone to the new Tour Premium is a TPU Stabilizer that extends above the traditional outsole to provide more lateral support and aid weight transfer working with the foot’s natural motion.  Cushioning around key contact areas, such as the heel, provide concentrated comfort for a luxurious feel with a secure fit.  This is further enhanced by a full-length contoured removable sock liner and leather linings.

The Nike Tour Premium utilizes the Power Platform TW outsole, which stabilizes the foot for better balance, smoother weight transfer and more power through impact.  The outside push plate of the outsole provides support and control through the backswing, while the inside plate flexes to help maintain contact with the ground through impact. The result is a stronger push through impact for more power through the swing.

Optimal traction is offered by the use of Champ’s Tri-LOK Scorpion Stinger Spikes and directional resistance nubs, which are designed to control rotational movement and keep the golfer perfectly balanced at all times.

The Nike Tour Premium includes the following features and benefits:

  • Rich full-grain leather
  • Zoom Air heel unit
  • Full-length contoured sockliner
  • Nike Power Platform TW outsole
  • Scorpion Stinger Spikes and Tri-LOK system
  • Sizes: 7-12, 13, 14 (medium width) and 7.5-12, 13 (wide width)
