Give Vans, Converse, and Keds a Break.
These Nike Air Max Skyline SI’s ($89) in orange blaze or lucky green are a good counter balance to the more neutral sneakers we’ve suggested for summer before. There are actually 8 other color options available in this style, but considering their darker looks we weren’t too thrilled with the thought of wearing them under [...]
Stow It, Pack It, Technologic
The Nike Pinnacle Packable M-65 Jacket is the first piece from the 2010 NWP collection that’s available in three colors: light grey, black, and light brown. The slimmer cut Spring jacket is constructed of Nike’s Storm-FIT all-weather material (100% nylon) and features four exterior pockets with internal cord-management for your media player, interior left pocket, [...]
A Major Win for Nike Golf
Here at Gear Patrol, we can’t remember a golf club being released with more hype and anticipation. Nike Golf has never been known as a top-tier putter maker, but after two wins at Majors in 2009 (both Opens) the Nike Method Putter is looking to change all of that. It was just a matter of [...]
You Didn't Think a USGA Restriction Would Deter Nike, Did You?
When the USGA set limits on coefficient of restitution (COR or “spring-like effect”) that a club can produce, they though they had drawn a line in the sand for how efficiently a driver could transfer energy to the ball. And for a long time they had. That is, until Nike Golf engineered the new Victory [...]
Kicks to Beat Down or Just Wear Around
Casual runners not already betrothed to brands like Saucony, Asics, or Brooks, should take a long hard look at the Nike Air Max Tailwind+ 2, especially for those who lack inward motion in their gait (known as underpronation). Built with dual, low pressure Air-sole units in the heel and forefoot of the shoe, the Tailwind [...]
Golf Gloves Befitting of an Eskimo
If you’re not one to flake out on the course under the threat of snowstorms and rain, then Nike has the glove for you. Rather, it’s a mitten. Nike Golf’s Cold Weather Golf Mitts are designed to protect your hands from the coldest and wettest of conditions using a weather-resistant nylon in combination with a [...]
Like It's Not Even There
Most hardcore runners swear by their Brooks, Saucony, and Asics shoes. Nike, not really known for true runners, shows that the shoe behemoth has a few tricks up their sleeves socks with the LunarGlide+. The LunarGlide+ is an extraordinarily comfortable running shoe for both fast and slow runners designed to make you forget you’re even [...]
Bad Weather Doesn't Have to Mean Bad Golf
Disclaimer: Fair weather golfers need not read this review. This is not for the faint of heart. Nike Golf has never been shy when it comes to pushing the boundaries of technology and innovation. They did bring us a square driver, after all. A few of their competitors may have scoffed at the break from [...]
Speak Softly And Drive A Long Ball
Coming off a round of fall golf, one part of this editor’s game held resolute: the drive. And though the time honored adage “drive for show, putt for dough” hold trues, it certainly doesn’t feel bad to nearly drive a green. Nike, heeding the call for a ball designed for golfers who relish outdriving everyone [...]
1 Driver, 8 Settings, And A Mob of Hungry Golfers
Hello, my name is Patrick and I’m a golf snob. Yes, as sad as it is to admit, I have a tendency to view golf products not made by mainstream manufactures with utter apathy. I know what you’re thinking, Tiger plays Nike clubs – and you’re right. But that doesn’t change the fact that I’ve [...]
Tiger's Golf Shoe Du Jour
To walk in another man’s shoes is to comprehend his life. Not his golf game. During my round this weekend, though, my brain conveniently stifled this nuance. At least that’s what I’m telling myself. It would happen to explain my habit of dedicating 30 ft. putts to Earl Woods, all of which I went on to [...]
It’s 13 degrees in New York right now and the thought of golf is far with thoughts of warmer weather and bikinis. For those of you who fortunate enough to live in more temperate climates and can hit the links then don’t let a little chill stave your round. Get the Nike Pro Thermal Sleeves [...]
At first we were skeptical at idea of the Nike Amp+. A device that serves as a watch and an iPod remote on one hand and also provides instant voice feedback of your time, distance, calories when teamed up with the Nike+ iPod Sport Kit and any set of Nike+ Ready shoes. Didn’t appear to [...]
Maintaining your body’s core is one of the most important elements in physical training, especially when biking. It also means you should keep it warm on those early morning / late night sessions on your bike. The Clima-fit light vest from Nike is windproof, water-resistant and lightweight that allows you to maintain full movement of [...]
Roger Federer definitely has skill on the courts along with a killer swing. There’s a good chance the Nike men’s Global Control Tennis Polo won’t give you that, but what it will do is keep you in sweat-wicking Dri-FIT® fabric with sublimated stripes. The Dri-FIT® mesh at back delivers strategic ventilation, while Nike Sphere Dry [...]
