Keegan Bradley has always been a different sort of dude, a distinction that has worked in his favor thus far in his pro golf career. It’s also resulting in his lacing up one of the greatest golf shoes you’ll ever see at the upcoming Masters, the Air Jordan 11 Concord golf spikes. Um . . . wow.
One of the most popular colorways of the iconic hoops model is reimagined for the links, and actually remains pretty faithful to the original. White mesh comprises the upper, wrapped with the familiar black patent leather mudguard, while the basketball-specific outsole is of course swapped out in favor of golf spikes. It looks like there may even be a wee bit of Zoom Air peek through a heel window.
Given, wearing basketball shoes at the Masters sounds a bit eccentric at first blush, but the aesthetics of the AJ11 are a perfect fit upon closer examination. The contrast mudguard lends the shoe a high-fashion “spat” aesthetic, while the combination of patent leather and Cordura mesh offer some degree of weather-protection.
No public launch expected, so you’ll have to live vicariously through Keegan at Augusta National.
