It is not wrong to say that MJ is as passionate about golf as he is about basketball after his retirement. And it is his passion for the sport that made him contribute to golf. 

The Jordan brand hoped to create a comfortable yet practical shoe for the golfers. However, does the golf world like it?

The golf world took Twitter to express what they think of the new ADG 4 as soon as the Jordan brand revealed the first look.

Since the ADG 4 does not come with spikes, the majority of the golf world rejected the idea of buying them to play golf. Furthermore, they didn’t find the shoes comfortable to play golf. However, the fans still appreciated its design and choose to buy them.
