Last month, I did my first Nike review in years.
Growing up in Oregon, it’s nearly impossible not to be a fan. But they’d lost their way for a few years.
However, as I declared in my review of the Infinity Tour Next% 2 shoes, they’re making their way back.
For the first time in a long time, I’ve been excited for new releases and excited to see where they’re going.
The Victory Pro 4 is the next example of that. Not only are some of the newest Nike golf shoes on the market, but they’re worn by none other than the best golfer on the planet: Scottie Scheffler.
And not only that? They’re cheaper than Nike’s other Tour-level shoes. But the question is: should you buy them?
Let’s find out.
First Impressions of the Nike Victory Pro 4
The Victory Pro 4 has that timeless leather silhouette that instantly looks sharp when you pull it out of the box. The upper uses a supple synthetic leather that feels premium while staying more consistent than some of the full-grain builds out there.
Right away, you notice the structure—this isn’t a soft, flexible sneaker, it’s a tour shoe through and through. But Nike being Nike, they didn’t just slap leather on a sole and call it a day.
The Pro 4 features their new Fly Wing design, which is a lateral support piece that connects the upper to the midsole. You don’t see it right away, but you feel it.
On the course, that little wall of support makes a noticeable difference when you’re pushing off in the downswing. Combined with a redesigned last (the shape of the shoe), it gives the Pro 4 a decidedly athletic feel.
Fit, Comfort, and Performance
Out of the box, these fit snug. Not painfully tight, but structured enough that you know they’ll need a couple rounds to loosen up. The good news? They break in quickly, and even during those first wears, I never had any hot spots or blistering.
The Dynamic Fit system does a nice job of hugging your foot evenly on both sides, so while the shoe feels firm, it never feels restrictive.
Once broken in, the comfort level is surprisingly high for such a stiff shoe. The Cushlon foam midsole gives just enough cushioning to make walking 18 a non-issue, and the padded collar around the ankle adds a little plushness in all the right places.
They aren’t on the same level as the Infinity Tour in terms of comfort, but compared to most traditional leather shoes, these are a pleasant surprise.
And performance? Rock solid, as you’d expect from the shoe that’s propelled Scottie to another fantastic season.
The nine removable soft spikes work with a uniquely shaped outsole to give fantastic grip. Even in early morning damp conditions, I felt planted, and on aggressive swings, there’s zero sense of slipping.
Despite not having “Tour” in the name, these feel every bit as stable as Nike’s top-tier options.
How They Stack Up Compared to Other Models
Compared to the Victory Tour 4, I actually like the Pro 4 more. The Tour model has a little more luxury baked in, but it also comes with a higher price tag. For me, the Pro 4 delivers essentially the same stability and feel, but at a better value, and I personally prefer the looks of this one.
Stack them against the Infinity Tour Next% 2, and it’s a different story. The Infinity is still the comfort king. If you want something sportier, more sneaker-like, and ready to go out of the box, that’s the one. But the Pro 4 claws back points with its replaceable spikes and more traditional styling. Here’s my review of the Infinity Tour shoes:
For players who value structure and traction, it might even be the better pick.
And in the broader market, the $155 price point is a standout. Plenty of premium golf shoes are creeping north of $200 these days, so to get a shoe that looks tour-ready, performs at a high level, and won’t crush your budget is refreshing.
Should You Buy Them?
If you’re the type of golfer who values a structured, stable shoe that locks you in during the swing, the Nike Victory Pro 4 is going to check a lot of boxes. It looks sharp, performs as well as just about anything else out there, and at $155, represents one of the stronger values in golf footwear right now.
If you want maximum softness and sneaker-like comfort, the Infinity line is still your best bet.
But if you’re after a shoe that blends classic tour styling with smart modern features—traction you can trust, comfort that holds up through 18, and the same pair Scottie Scheffler wears—you won’t go wrong with the Victory Pro 4.
Looking for a Tour Level shoe that won't tip the scales at over $200. Scottie Scheffler's Victroy Pro 4 might be exactly what you're looking for.
