Arguably the biggest event on the golf calendar, The Masters is a special tournament that sees the world’s elite do battle at Augusta National. Because of this, manufacturers often bring out special edition models of their products and, in the case of Nike, it’s no different, as the iconic brand have added new colorways to their NRG range of shoes.
Usually, when manufacturers create Masters editions of their shoes they will add the white, yellow and green colors that are famed with Augusta National. Last year, for example, Brooks Koepka was seen wearing a yellow pair of the Infinity Tour NEXT%. However, for 2024, Nike has created something different, with a white, black, blue and ‘daybreak’ aesthetic making them really stand out.
First things first, these three special edition golf shoes are available from the Nike store right now, as well as Carl’s Golf Land on the 3rd April at 10am EST. The theme of the shoes are that they now include a white, black, blue and ‘daybreak’ colorway that looks extremely premium.
Often, we see special editions of the models above, with Rory McIlroy seen wearing a Ryder Cup and Open Championship edition of the Air Zoom Victory Tour 3. As mentioned, Koepka was wearing the yellow Air Zoom Infinity Tour Next% and, for 2024, Nike has updated that shoe model to create the Air Zoom Infinity Tour NEXT% 2 NRG.
So, how do the two differ? Well, this model now features more spikes, a brand-new CMP foam and a flatter profile. Although we are yet to get our hands on it, we think these will slide straight in as one of the best Nike golf shoes on the market, especially as the likes of Koepka and multiple-time PGA Tour winner, Tom Kim, have been seen wearing them.

Moving onto the Air Zoom Victory Tour 3, which is a model that made it into our best golf shoe guide. Providing traditional, sporty looks, the new full-grain leather upper provides a supple feel, whilst the comfort comes from an internal strap on the inside and extra padding around the ankle.
Such is the popularity of the Air Zoom Victory Tour 3, we often see it decked out in various colorways and styles. Just recently, they were finished in a white/metallic gold/metallic silver finish to celebrate The Players Championship. Now, ahead of The Masters, they have been given an equally eye-catching finish.
