2025
GOLF PLAYER EDITION:
NELLY KORDA
For those unfamiliar with Nelly’s career, the 27-year-old joined the LPGA back in 2017 and Nike Golf in 2023, notching 15 LPGA Tour wins, including two major championships (the 2021 Women’s PGA Championship and 2024 Chevron Championship). 2024 was really her breakout year as not only did she set an LPGA Tour record after winning seven events (five in a row), but was also named the LPGA player of the year, led the tour in wins and top finishes, and was ranked number one overall for 17 months (March 2024-August 2025).
As for her Nike Free Golf collaboration, it showcases a white, sail, red, and orange color scheme accented by metallic gold charms. These charms appear along the lateral collar and feature some non-specific Nike logos alongside some personalized details like a tennis racquet, a lion face, and a cup of coffee.Both of her parents were professional tennis players, and her brother Sebastian is currently ranked number 33 in the world. The coffee mug is a small nod to her self-proclaimed love of the drink, while the lion nods to her personal logo and the nickname given to her by her parents, "lion." It also doubles as an homage to her zodiac sign, Leo. Final details include a double Swoosh in red and yellow on the midfoot, a white midsole, and a marbled multi-color outsole.
