Nike has supposedly created a special edition shoe for this year's PGA Tour, a major gold tournament played by golfers in the US.

"Grass" sneaker

Earlier this month, Hypebeast reported that Nike will be launching an Air Max golf shoe inspired by golf courses.

Called the Air Max 1 Golf "Grass", this shoe is a special edition of the iconic Air Max 1 sneaker.

The Golf "Grass" features a green turf-like covering sitting atop a white midsole and gum rubber outsole.

A white Nike logo, also known as the Swoosh, can be found on the sides.

Here are some photos of the shoe, which have been circulating on social media:

Quirky.

Available soon for US$140

The shoe will retail for US$140 (approximately S$190).

While the release date is unconfirmed, it is reportedly set to be released this year.

It is unclear if Golf "Grass" will be available in Singapore.

However, Hypebeast stated that it will be available in selected retailers in the US, as well as on the Nike site.
