“These are hideous…big yikes from me” – Fans unimpressed by Nike’s new Jordan 1 golf mule shoes

Nike is set to launch a new Air Jordan 1 Golf Mule next week, but their images went viral before the launch. However, fans didn't seem impressed with the design of the latest shoes.

This month saw Tiger Woods and Jason Day end their association with Nike Golf. Besides, Nike also entered into LIV Golf territory, as all the players of Brooks Koepka's Smash GC will be sporting the Woosh this season.

The Nike Jordan Air Jordan 1 Golf Mule will be launched on February 2. As per SneakerNews.com, the new design shoes will be heel-less slip-on versions of the pre-existing Air Jordan 1 Low Golf. As per the site, these shoes are made for those who prefer comfort along with style for their golf rounds.

"With its Mule set-up, Jordan Brand deems the laces unnecessary as the classic shoe-strings and its accompanying eyelets are completely removed, the SneakerNews.com wrote.

The Nike Jordan Air Jordan 1 Golf Mule will be open for sale starting next week at Jordan retailers as well as on Nike.com for $110. NUCLR Golf posted the shoes' photograph on X.

Fans didn't seem fond of the new designs by Nike and heavily criticized them in comments. Here's a look at some of the reactions:

"These are hideous…big yikes from me 😆🤣," one fan wrote.

"Is this a ryan armour colab," another chimed in.
