The Nike Free TR 5, available on NIKEiD, is a line of golf shoes that feature the special touch of none other than golf superstar Michelle Wie. Now 25 years old, Wie burst onto the professional golf scene aged just 12 and began playing in men's professional tournaments at age 14. She won the U.S. Women's Open this past year.
The Nike Free TR collection now features hexagonal flex grooves, allowing the shoe to flex in multiple directions and encouraging athletes' natural motion. The shoes' outsole features strategically situated rubber pods that increase durability and traction.
The shoes also features engineered mesh uppers that include handsome ventilation areas where required as well as closed areas in key training zones. The shoes are equipped with Dynamic Nike Flywire that ensures an adaptive fit.
