In a move that surprised the golfing world but was not entirely unexpected, Tiger Woods ended his 27-year partnership with Nike. This departure set the stage for speculation and rumors about Woods' next steps in the golfing apparel and footwear industry. After anticipation and speculation, Tiger Woods unveiled his latest venture, marking a significant shift in his career trajectory. In collaboration with TaylorMade, Woods introduced his new brand, Sun Day Red, a nod to his trademark red polo worn during tournament Sundays.
The announcement of the Sun Day Red brand was met with excitement and curiosity, as fans and industry insiders alike were eager to see what Woods' post-Nike era would look like. The wait is finally over as we get a first look at the inaugural footwear release from the Sun Day Red and TaylorMade partnership.
The Sun Day Red golf shoe distinguishes itself from Tiger's previous collaborations with Nike, adopting a cleaner and more mature aesthetic. The shoe, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, features an all-leather upper, embracing a sleek black finish that blends smooth, tumbled, patent, and perforated textures. This choice of material and color scheme reflects a sophisticated approach to golf footwear, prioritizing elegance without sacrificing performance.
The shoe incorporates red accents that pay homage to Woods' iconic Sunday attire. The top eyelet and the Sun Day Red logo on the lateral heel are highlighted in red, offering a striking contrast against the shoe's predominantly black exterior. Furthermore, Tiger's distinctive tiger logo is prominently displayed on the heel, reinforcing the personal touch and the deep connection between the brand and its founder. Down below, the design is rounded off with a white midsole that complements the upper's sophistication, paired with a spikeless rubber outsole in red. This outsole enhances the shoe's aesthetic appeal with another hit of Tiger's tiger logo and ensures versatility and traction on the golf course.
Tiger Woods’ new Sun Day Red golf shoes will release in 2024, likely through Sun Day Red’s website and at select golf retailers online and in-store.
