And as one of the rowdiest tournament in golf famous for the bedlam which takes place on the 16th hole, it’s only fitting that the sneaker lets out its wild side.Taking a closer look, the most salient features come by way of the melting Swoosh shimmering in purple and green, as well as the crackled crimson red panel depicting scorched earth.

For the branding, flaming yellow and red golf balls center up on the tongues, while the Nike Air logos sit atop bright red heel overlays.Things get crazy once again with the insoles, where a golfer plays in an abstracted desert landscape of red and orange against dark cacti silhouettes. Lastly, a translucent pink and orange outsole reveals a blank and white striped pattern underneath.
