An Air Zoom unit stitched directly to the full-grain leather upper, a full-length plate under that to increase energy return, foam in the heel for added comfort, and the Champs Spike System help make the Nike Victory Tour 3 a PGA-quality golf shoe. This collaboration with Eastside Golf gives it a more casual makeover. On either side of the shoe are a pair of knobs that allow for the attachment of six Swoosh designs that give the otherwise white shoes a bold boost of color. Small gold Swooshes are visible without the removable attachments, matching the "Everyone's Game" golf foil text on the medial side.
