As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I’ve seen countless collaborations come and go, but none quite like Eastside Golf’s latest endeavor with Nike. This isn’t just about shoes or golf; it’s about community, progression, and authenticity.
In layman’s terms, collaborations between Eastside Golf and Jordan Brand have consistently been impressive. While the first one, the Eastside x Air Jordan 4 G, remains the most sought-after, the “Red Clay” and “1961” editions did not disappoint fans who appreciate the brand’s narrative style. Interestingly, the golf lifestyle label established in 2019 has yet to affix its Swingman logo onto Nike’s line of golf shoes. However, this is about to change
Titled as “A Game for All,” this collection emphasizes Eastside Golf’s commitment to making golf accessible to diverse communities and acknowledging a significant milestone in the brand’s journey. Over the past year, Eastside has supported HBCU golf programs, launched its first women’s line, and made a splash at the PGA trade show. The exclusive shoe collaboration with Nike, featuring the Air Max 1 G and Air Zoom Victory Tour 3, brings together these stories into one package. Each pair comes with a trio of removable Nike swooshes, symbolizing Eastside’s ethos to “Stay True” to oneself. Two swooshes pay tribute to HBCUs Morehouse and Spelman College, while the remaining design mirrors the idea that the game reflects your self-image.

As I gaze upon these gaming-ready kicks, it’s their predominantly white leather uppers that catch my eye, subtly accentuated with tasteful gold trimmings. But what truly stands out are the transparent soles – a nod to Eastside culture, showcasing a Swingman figure adorned with a golden chain around his neck against a vibrant backdrop. This collection isn’t just about Nike shoes; it encompasses apparel and accessories too. To top it off, the brand is hosting a pop-up in the bustling heart of New York City from September 13th to 15th, and an invitational tournament at Liberty National Golf Club on the 16th – can’t wait!
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m excited to share that I’ll get the chance to grab 100 pairs of these shoes before they hit the general market! Starting October 4, you can snag them through the Eastside Golf app. And if you miss out there, don’t worry – they’ll also be available on Nike.com from October 7 onwards. Let the hunt begin!
