The Nike Lunar Control Shoe: Lightweight stability and comfort
Developed with insights from Nike Golf athlete Paul Casey, the Nike Lunar Control Men's Golf Shoe delivers the optimal combination of stability and comfort in the lightest-weight performance shoe on Tour. This version celebrates the game's most historic Major with materials and design details inspired by traditional English tailoring.
Benefits

- Ultra-lightweight, springy Lunarlon cushioning for soft yet supportive shock absorption
- Next-generation Nike Power Platform outsole for enhanced flexibility and natural motion
- Waterproof performance leather by Sadesa ®
Design
Taking a cue from classic British dress shoes and briefcases, the upper of the Nike Lunar Control Men's Golf Shoe features tumbled leather with patent-leather accents. Herringbone tweed at the collar evokes tailored-suit material, and the lining was inspired by polka-dot handkerchiefs. In a nod to the hand-finished detailing of fine tailoring, the bottom of the eyestay features a double stitch.
Support
The saddle panel of the Nike Lunar Control features Flywire for lightweight support and structure right where golfers need it. Flywire is made up of ultra-thin, ultra-strong nylon fibers that wrap the midfoot to hold it in place during activity, eliminating slippage without adding weight.
Cushioning
Playing 18 holes can mean walking five or six miles, which can take a toll on your feet-and your game as a result of fatigue. That's where Lunarlon cushioning comes in. Found in the heel of this shoe, it provides incredibly lightweight, responsive cushioning and a low-to-the-ground feel for comfort from the first hole to the last.
Stability
Because every golf swing starts from the ground up, the Nike Lunar Control features the Nike Power Platform outsole for stability and balance. It helps keep the foot firmly planted, evenly distributing weight for more power and a smooth transfer from backswing to follow-through. This next-generation version features a secondary Power Channel in the forefoot for greater flexibility and natural motion.

Lunarlon Cushioning
Lunarlon cushioning features a soft, yet resilient foam core encased within a supportive foam carrier for lightweight, ultra-plush cushioning, springy response and support. This innovative foam, invented at Nike and 30 percent lighter than traditional Phylon, allows the force of impact to be more evenly distributed and helps reduce painful pressure points on your foot. -
Flywire
Flywire helps provide ultra-lightweight support and comfort for your foot. It gets its strength from thin nylon fibers strategically placed on the upper of the shoe to hold the foot in place, helping to reduce slippage during activity. This allows for a massive reduction in weight because material is used only where it’s needed for structure.
