| Golf Shoes Trending With Sneakerheads As Secondary Market Interest Soars - Forbes Posted: 31 May 2019 02:50 AM PDT  ORLANDO, FL - MARCH 07: A detail of the Nike Air Jordan shoes of Harold Varner III on the range during the first round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard at Bay Hill Club and Lodge on March 7, 2019 in Orlando, Florida. (Photo by Keyur Khamar/PGA TOUR) GettyWhile "investment grade" golf shoes have yet to have their Yeezys moment, sales of fashion forward fairway strolling kicks have been percolating on secondary marketplaces like GOAT and StockX.com. "We've seen unprecedented success for golf colorways and golf silhouettes in the past year or two," relates Jesse Einhorn, the Data Content Director at StockX. The Jordan 11 Retro Low Golf Concord was a top five sneaker on the exchange's sales charts when it was first released in February. "It was definitely the biggest hit on the secondary market of any golf shoe. The top five is usually reserved for hyped sneakers like Yeezys." The number one selling golf shoe of all time on secondary market StockX.com NikeThe Concord Golf Jordan's originally retailed for $220 upon release in February but in the past three months new in-box pairs have been changing hands at an average of $319, a 45% price premium. Meanwhile the Jordan 11 Retro Low Golf Safari Bred which debuted at the PGA Championship earlier this month is catching even loftier bids from sneaker heads. "I think that's set to do huge numbers and it's selling for $150 over retail. It retailed for $200 and is reselling for $485… so that's a really big markup," says Einhorn. With slam dunk after slam dunk it's no surprise the Jordan brand plans to keep cooking up new golf designs. A denim iteration of the 11's is set to step up to a tee box near you later this summer. Jeans may not be a faux pas when it comes to on-course apparel but rest assured pairs of these two toned, dark indigo and stonewashed shade denim shoes with translucent ice blue outsoles will fit in just fine at the toniest of golf clubs. The Safari Bred Jordans are a hot commodity. StockXThe Annals of Golf Kicks Mania The seeds of golf footwear mania may date back to the late 1930s when the PGA Tour's resident fashion plate Jimmy Demaret first started strolling down fairways in vibrant pastels and garish scarlet, gold, lavender, and emerald get-ups. When it came to custom designed limited-edition shoes "The Wardrobe" was ahead of his time. He'd give shoe factories swatches from his slacks so that the band on his saddle oxfords perfectly matched his pants. Though he wasn't above clashing either—Demaret had no problem pairing pink shoes with purple pants. After cobbling together 31 PGA TOUR victories, including a trio of green jacket wins at the Masters, Demaret's penchant for polka dot, plaid and checked sports coats persisted into his career in golf broadcasting, thus establishing the style template for the Geriatric Quarterly cover model vibe Rodney Dangerfield would rock in Caddyshack. ' While Demaret certainly planted the daring to be different seed, Freddie Couples helped usher in the modern golf sneaker age in 2010. When Boom Boom, Golf Digest's coolest golfer of all-time sported Ecco Streets, a cool and casual sneaker with a trainer vibe at the Shell Houston Open (a week ahead the Masters) it was a game changer. Hybrids that can be worn on and off the course, the Streets which have traction nubbins in leu of cleats spawned a whole new category of golf footwear. Nike's first spikeless Jordan , the ADG, was released earlier this month. This golf season limited edition shoe releases that sell out faster than it takes Bryson DeChambeau to crunch a half dozen green reading metrics and settle into a putt are becoming increasingly common and it wouldn't be surprising at all to see a golf shoe reach the rarefied air of the $1000+ level on the resale market. The number ten selling golf shoe of all-time on StockX Nike"I'm not in the prediction business but if you look at what has happened with the Jordan 11 Safari Bred which has only been on the market for two weeks and is already selling for $500 and in some cases more in certain sizes, that's an indication you could see a golf shoe going for, if not a $1000, then close to it," admits Einhorn. Sneakerhead crossover appeal will only heighten as needle-moving athletes and artists like Steph Curry and ScHoolboy Q continue to rep golf kicks and the sport on their social media feeds, fueling increased demand on the secondary market.

| Zion Williamson Rocks Nike Shoes at L.A. Workout, Done Deal? - TMZ Posted: 31 May 2019 12:20 AM PDT
Zion Williamson Rocks Nike Shoes at L.A. Workout ... Done Deal?!?EXCLUSIVE Did Nike just win the Zion Williamson shoe wars!?? Judging by this video we just got of the projected #1 overall pick ... it seems they Just Did It. Check out this footage of Zion working out at a Los Angeles gym on Thursday. Pay attention to his feet. ZW's wearing the Nike Kyrie 4s. VERY interesting ... considering EVERY major shoe company is looking to sign the ex-Duke superstar to the biggest rookie shoe endorsement deal since LeBron James. In fact, ex-NBA star Jay Williams and shoe legend Sonny Vaccaro told us they wouldn't be surprised if a company shelled out $100 MILLION for Zion! Now, Zion rocked Nikes in college -- but only because Duke had an endorsement deal with the Swoosh. But, there was speculation he could switch to another company after his NCAA career was jeopardized because of that February incident when his Nike PG 2.5s busted open during the first minute of the UNC game. Zion suffered a right knee strain during the shoe explosion ... and many wondered if he would bail for Adidas, Puma or even New Balance (hey, Kawhi Leonard did it). However, Nike clearly has the advantage since Zion wore the Kyrie 4s multiple times in college ... and obviously likes them enough to wear them when he doesn't have to.

| The Most Comfortable Work Shoes for Any Environment, From Back of House to Board Room - The Manual Posted: 31 May 2019 08:00 AM PDT If you get home from work with an aching back or stiff neck, headaches, and digestive issues, or just feeling disproportionately tired, the culprit could well be your feet. More specifically, what you're wearing on them. Poorly fitting shoes cause more than just blisters. They lead to over-pronation, an issue that leads to a host of common afflictions, such as heel pain (plantar fasciitis), knee pain and lower back pain. They affect the way your body moves and stands, putting undue pressure on the back, hips, ankles, and knees. Let's face it—you're too young to be groaning about your aches and pains, and too ambitious to spend your workday dreaming of your La-Z-Boy. Our list of most comfortable men's work shoes will keep you both spry and stylish, no matter where or how you earn your living. Formal OfficeVionic's Bruno Oxford The upper tiers of society have a long-standing habit of dressing as if they've never done a day's work in their lives, and never will. But if you're working a white-collar job, you know that facade is far from true. For the past 50 years or so, the wingtip oxford has been the equivalent of ancient China's extra-long fingernails or the starched collar of the early 19th century—as uncomfortable as it is iconic. Fortunately, Vionic has come to the rescue with a sophisticated oxford that won't outrage your podiatrist. A super supportive footbed and a durable rubber sole keep your feet cushioned, while contrast stitching and optional contrast laces give the undeniably stuffy silhouette a needed facelift. Casual OfficeAllbirds Wool Runners There's a lot that's problematic about startup culture, but one thing it definitely has going right is its footwear. Make like the bigwigs of the new economy and suit your feet up in Allbirds. These sneaks and slides are not only cozy, minimalist and sustainable, they're also ridiculously comfortable, with uppers and padded insoles made from the same superfine merino used for Armani suits, and a low-density outsole featuring a unique S-curve tread array designed to mimic the anatomical flexibility of your feet and provide natural weight distribution. The reviews you've read online may sound hyperbolic (e.g., "they're like slippers made of clouds"), but we swear the hype is true. Just ask the Allbirds army of fans, which includes a slew of Silicon Valley titans, Hollywood icons such as Woody Harrelson and Leonardo DiCaprio, and even former (sniff!) President Barack Obama. Courier/Active/AssistantNike Roshe One When your job keeps you running—be it all over town, or all over the gym—you need a shoe that performs like a sports star. At the same time, you don't want to be the guy in chunky cross-trainers, especially amongst a lot of well-heeled types who depend on your services—that's no way to get your big break. The streetwear styling of the Nike Roshe One gives you a look that's on the level with anyone you're training/delivering to/getting coffee for, while the soft lightweight sole, cushioned collar and traction-heavy waffled outsole lend them to heavy lifting and quick maneuvering. They're the perfect shoes for climbing your way to the top. Retail/Fashion IndustrySaucony Jazz Low Pro With apologies to Derek Zoolander, effortlessness is the essence of looking cool. But if you've ever worked retail, you know it means long hours on your feet, not to mention a lot of jumping, reaching and squatting. Other careers in the fashion industry are similarly athletic. A pair of Saucony Jazz Low Pro sneakers are the key to keeping it pulled together. Their slim fit, plush suede outer, and retro styling in a plethora of colorways keeps your look fresh and fly; nobody has to know that the cushioning insole, shock-absorbing midsole, and rubber traction outsole are saving your life. Food and Beverage IndustryScarpa Mojito Like other models in the Scarpa catalog, the best-selling Mojito was designed as a climbing shoe. But its sweet Euro profile and deliciously comfortable construction have made it a streetwear staple. We think this combo makes it the perfect pick for bartenders, servers, and F&B employees at every level. Vibram soles are skid-resistant, a reinforced arch offers comfort and support, and Italian leather uppers keep the look classy. What's more, the Scarpa Mojito comes in every color and shade you can imagine, which means you're guaranteed to find a perfect match with your work uniform. Construction/LaborRed Wing Style No. 8111 Iron Ranger Boots Fashioned from Red Wing's signature oil-tanned leather, the Iron Ranger boots not only resist water, stain and, perspiration but look good doing it. With a steel shank, double-layered toe, Vibram 430 Mini-lug outsole, and Goodyear welt construction, these 6-inch boots are tough on the outside, but gentle on the inside, thanks to a cushiony cork midsole and a bump toe for more room up front. No wonder Style No. 8111 has been the choice of hard laborers since the days of Minnesota's mining boom. Outdoor IndustriesKeen Austin Casual Boot The legendary Austin boot from Keen gets a little classed up, while maintaining the shoe's renowned outdoor performance. The carbon rubber sole, metatomical footbed, and Cleansport NXT odor control technology give you all the sturdy support of a trail boot, while the full-grain nubuck leather upper says, "I'm at work." Wearing the Keen Austin boot means you can go from guiding tours of a national park to giving a keynote speech to important donors a date with a cute tourist with no change of footwear required. Just don't go logging in these. For those of you who only work outside and with your hands, you're going to need a heavy boot for that. Why not try one of our top picks for best work boots and feel the comfort of elevated work boots yourself.
