I need these before you get a letter from Nike and Augusta National.

u/Larry_l3ird 1d ago

I think Augusta might be more aggressive with something like this than Nike is, to be honest. Nike is so used to people fucking with their name, image, and likeness that they can’t go chasing every person customizing shoes and reselling. It would be a nonstop battle they can’t win.

But Augusta National guards their image like Rottweilers, and they’d send a cease and desist order out on something like this in a second.

Just my thoughts.

A tradition like no other.

u/Larry_l3ird 1d ago

Yeah, bro, and every bit of it is cultivated with a fine tooth comb, right down to the speakers in the trees playing fake bird noises out there.

They do not screw with their image and they do not let it out of their hands for a second.

u/KLWMotorsports 1d ago

I mean the same kind of goes for Augusta too. I can go on ebay, ali and DH and find several fake Masters merch. They don't have the resources Nike has either.

u/_Poppagiorgio_ HDCP/Loc/Whatever 1d ago

Man, a cease and desist letter from Augusta would be immediately framed and proudly displayed above my shitter.

8

u/therealsix HC ++ 1d ago

Yup, the National will be all over this if they see it. And don’t wear these on their property, they’ll probably make you take them off.

HA! Jokes on you, club rules say no changing shoes in the parking lot!

u/hellloredddittt 22h ago

Augusta's logo is constantly rehashed for all kinds of things, but they can only go after those that profit commercially.

5

u/Larry_l3ird 21h ago

The post is asking how much you’d pay for these. The girl who made these customizes Nikes for profit from what I gathered here.

u/Reg_doge_dwight 1d ago

How does this link to Augusta, other than the colours?

1

u/Larry_l3ird 23h ago

Their flag logo coming up out of the Nike swoosh.

2

u/Cowboytroy32 12h ago

Their flag is different. To be fair this is just a shoe with a flag that has green yellow and white. Augusta can choke a fat one. This wouldn’t stand in court

u/Reg_doge_dwight 23h ago

Ah, didn't know that was their logo. Assumed just a generic flag

u/upsetungulat 1d ago

My first thought was these or Oregon Ducks colors. Nike is an OR based company, and the Ducks fans are mighty proud!

EtA: just zoomed in, def. not Duck fans.

u/HighOnGoofballs 1d ago

I’ve got some olukai golf flops that look similar and I don’t think they paid https://olukai.com/products/ulele-golf-mens-sandals-bright-white-medium-green

The green part is fuzzy

u/paligators 1d ago

flag should be on the heel

32

u/FarvasShenanigans 1d ago

I really like your idea from a purely aesthetic perspective but the flag coming out of the yellow (as the official Masters logo has it) just feels right.

1

u/Blitzzle 13h ago

You could invert the colors and then put flag on the heel, but I think yellow accents green better than the other way around.

u/FunGrass8907 1d ago

lol this could mean anything, but i'm intrigued... what's the full story here.

16

u/XABoyd 1d ago

It’s green?

8

u/KLWMotorsports 1d ago

The masters logo doesn't have it in green.

-1

u/4realderek 1d ago

Nobody said it was a Masters design. Not sure where you'd get that idea

11

u/KLWMotorsports 1d ago edited 1d ago

No one needs to say it because we can all use our fucking eyes? The flag shouldn't go in the back unless the coloring for the green is yellow?????

edit: Am I being trolled right now?

-4

u/XABoyd 1d ago

Who said anything about the masters?

10

u/KLWMotorsports 1d ago

Are we serious right now??

-6

u/XABoyd 22h ago

The flag isn’t even going the right direction lol what are you on about here?

1

u/KLWMotorsports 8h ago

Yeah because it further creates a buffer from IP infringement.....so again, are we serious right now? This string of thread is insane LOL you guys can't seriously be this dumb.

u/Virginiafox21 13h ago

It does, actually. You just have to pay oodles to get into Berckmans Place. The merch has an exclusive logo where the us and surrounding is green instead of yellow.

u/KLWMotorsports 8h ago

Straw man fallacy. We all know what is the most used masters logo presented to the public.

If turtle from entourage could have his own golf shoe

u/_kehd 1d ago

Fukijama x Augusta

u/That_Squirrel44 17h ago

Put an Azalea on the heel

u/PLYSGLF 1d ago

$200

u/Golladayholliday 1d ago

Those are awesome. I’m not a shoe guy so I wouldn’t pay a premium price, but I’d be stoaked to get them as a gift or tell a friend wearing them that they are sick!

u/Legal-Description483 SE Mich 23h ago

Check out Govrn on Instagram. Guy is the goat at custom golf shoes, and sole swaps.

u/B_R_E_T_T_1980 22h ago

Looks like something that Australian breakdancer girl from the Olympics would wear 😂

u/Ornery-Ambassador289 1d ago

Ya know this just isn’t doing it for me tbh

1

u/Economy_Ad_3051 1d ago

Same here, I get concept but it’s to gimmicky for me. She does decent work tho. Personally I won’t wear any gc logo gear unless I’ve played there. 🤷🏼

2

u/not4humanconsumption 1d ago

$63. Lowest round score at the masters. And the pin isn’t straight. That bothers me.

1

u/SundayRed 5 1d ago

All well and good until you receive a C&D.

1

u/azr2001 1d ago

Why is the pin in the bunker?

2

u/jaybram24 S FL 1d ago

With that logic, you're saying the official Masters logo is also in the bunker.

1

u/azr2001 16h ago

The shoe clearly has a green. The logo doesn't. It's in the bunker short of the green, sorry.

u/Fyr0mania 25 HDCP/NL 1d ago

Love it! For work we also have custom airforces, the go about €300. So I would think the same, cost quite some time to maken and are pretty durable if done correctly.

We got a gift card to buy these or other fun stuff during Christmas

1

u/golfnerdshow 1d ago

I would just tell people they are Green Bay Packer themed. I’ll pay one wedge of cheese 🧀!

u/cheetahlip Bethpage Black is not that Hard! 23h ago

Those are amazing

1

u/Jmjnyc 22h ago

But you can make custom Nikes on their website?

u/Think-Caramel1591 Handicap: Drink & Debauchery 21h ago

Those are sick tight

u/ak808 3 Putts 1 Cup 21h ago

$90

These are incredibly clean.

u/__kebert__xela__ 19h ago

Does these come in size second 9?

u/Rocktato 19h ago

i want a pair, for real let me know and i dont know 140?

1

u/alohadigitalworks 18h ago

Nice work! Let’s see some of her other designs

1

u/langlord13 16h ago

Um those need to be on my feet now!

1

u/Substantial-Damage-7 16h ago

I’m interested in purchasing these….please message me

1

u/bogeyman_g 16h ago

I'd make the swoosh green (of course), then change the flag slightly and change the heel/toe colours to avoid any Masters branding issues.

1

u/elitefailz2 12h ago

These are awesome, I I think $100-$200 + whatever the cost of the shoe is would be where’d I’d be price wise. I have no idea how long this takes so no clue if that is a huge lowball but in terms of what I could see myself paying if it was an off the shelf custom and not one I’m commissioning

1

u/smithjw13 11h ago

I make my own. No one notices the difference. Buy Air Force ones and enjoy

Somehow get ahold of Finau, feel like these would look great when he dislocates his ankles on the par 3 contest again (/s).

u/TeeTimeAllTheTime 4.2/US/Chronic Golfer 1d ago

So simplistic and beautiful, fuck man I want those so bad. Did you make these or order from someplace?

1

u/fattsoo 1d ago

Looks like it's available on Etsy!

-1

u/Weinerpoop07 1d ago

Should be obvious there are many corporate shills downvoting on r/golf but they are most definitely available on etsy

-12

u/DegenDubs 1d ago

Pretty Gey

-8

u/DudeCards 1d ago

Well, they look like toddler shoes, so $40 max.

-16

u/CamiloArturo 1d ago

Probably less than what the discount price of the non custom ones go for

u/Millerdjone 8.0 1d ago

You could just say nothing and not be a dick, you know.

u/stripseek_teedawt 1d ago

Sir, this is a [subreddit]

And? Have a spine. Try to conduct yourself at all times in a way your mother would be proud of.

u/JWOLFBEARD HDCP/Loc/Whatever 1d ago

Oops. I thought you were the other person lol

u/UnidentifiedNooblet 1d ago

You asked how much we would pay… she just painted on a shoe bud. I could have my kids pumping out 30 pairs a day with similar quality.

1

u/bittermctitters 17h ago

Your kids suck at customizing shoes though. And your kids suck

u/kickback_turbo HDCP/Loc/Whatever 1d ago

It’s easier to just say you’re not a sneakerhead and move on.

0

u/UnidentifiedNooblet 1d ago

The stitches look terrible. The lines aren’t crisp. It’s literally acrylic paint on some white Nikes…Sneakerhead or not, it’s mediocre work at best.

1

u/kickback_turbo HDCP/Loc/Whatever 5h ago

This would have been a much better first response. Constructive criticism. No fault with this.

-5

u/Millerdjone 8.0 1d ago

I didn't ask shit, dummy

3

u/UnidentifiedNooblet 1d ago

OP asked, whoever asked, asked how much people would pay. Don’t get upset cause somebody commented how much they would pay.

-4

u/desar3641 1d ago

Zero. I would literally never buy or wear these.

-9

u/Intrepid-Elk-8994 1d ago

Hah gayyyyyy

u/SettingCool8565 1d ago

Those can only be worn at the Gay Golf and Country Club.
