BEAVERTON, Ore. -- Continuing to build on the success of Nike Golf's Sport Performance (SP) family of footwear, Nike Golf is introducing the new SP-7.5, an expansion of the successful SP-7 line that was introduced by Nike Golf's Tour Staff at the 2003 PGA Championship. Sport Performance footwear is athletically engineered footwear for the game of golf.
Tiger Woods will showcase the new SP-7.5 at this week's PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springfield, New Jersey. Expanding on the contemporary styling of Sport Performance (SP) products, the SP-7.5 features a very iconic look and understated swoosh wrapped in a soft and supple waterproof full-grain leather upper which provides outstanding comfort and protection. The SP-7.5 will be available at retail in Black and Tan as well as White and Black October 1st, 2005.
True to Nike tradition, the SP-7.5's visible heel Air-Sole and forefoot Zoom Air units provide lightweight cushioning and comfort for the life of the shoe. In addition to Nike Inc.'s proprietary Air technology, the SP-7.5 features the newly designed Traction at Contact 4 (T&C 4) Thermal Plastic Urethane (TPU) outsole, which offers maximum green-friendly traction and stability. The SP-7.5 also offers a full-length Poron sockliner that won't break down over time and molds to the contour of the foot.
The SP-7.5 also has the Scorpion Stinger Spikes and Q-LOK fastening system making it easy to change your spikes. The SP-7.5 comes with a two-year limited waterproof warranty and a 45-day limited comfort warranty.
