Nike and Tiger Woods have both, in their own unique way, been pioneers in the sport of golf and this shoe continues that mission by taking golf shoe innovation to a completely different level. The shoe features inputs from none other than Nike's Senior Director of Athlete Innovation Tobie Hatfield, younger brother of legendary Nike shoe designer Tinker Hatfield. The Nike TW '15 provides a level of stability, comfort and flexibility that has never before been seen in a golf shoe, with the integration of Dynamic Flywire into a Flyweave upper and Nike Free outsole making for a high-performance shoe that also looks fantastic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Flyweave Technology:** Opportunity for other sports to incorporate Nike's Flyweave technology into their footwear designs for added stability, comfort and flexibility. - **Dynamic Flywire:** Innovative applications of Nike's Dynamic Flywire technology can bring a new level of performance and style to various athletic shoe markets. - **Nike Free Outsole:** The incorporation of Nike Free outsoles into other sports shoes could provide athletes with a higher level of mobility and comfort during play. ### Who This Affects Most - **Athletic Footwear:** Athletic shoe companies can explore innovative designs that can improve overall performance of athletes in different sports. - **Golf Equipment:** The golf equipment industry can create more high-performance shoes by incorporating new technologies, like Dynamic Flywire, into future designs. - **Sports Equipment:** The incorporation of Flyweave technology and Nike Free outsoles can provide a competitive advantage across a range of sports products and equipment ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modern Golfer Footwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golf-shoe1.md) - [Interchangable Sporty Golf Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-zoom-victory-tour.md) - [Performance-Focused Basketball Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gt-cut-3.md) - [Athlete-Backed Sports Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taylormade-golf.md) - [Blue Tonal Footwear Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/take-flight-collection.md) - [Heritage Performance Golf Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pioneer-magnolia.md) - [Icy-Inspired Textural Golf Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-pegasus-89-g.md) - [Multi-Color Golf Silhouettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lt1.md) - [Bold Tonal Golf Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-golf.md)
