Nike’s late-May announcement they’d be divesting in the Umbro and Cole Haan brands was relatively surprising considering the latter’s LunarGrand line had just gotten started (and has more releases on the way), but it’s not like the Swoosh became an $11B company without doing business the right way. Indeed, it appears Nike Golf had already calculated the loss and came up with a suitable replacement for those upscale LunarLon design, and this one might be even more versatile. The Nike Lunar Swingtip is a spikeless golf shoe inspired by Beaverton’s action sports affiliates at Hurley, a design whose smart looks and functional traction lugs should further the blending between skate/streetwear and traditional upscale menswear. Three simple suede colorways are depicted in greater detail below, so let us know which looks best and stick with Sneaker News for word on the US release. Photos: atmos
