Anthony Kim’s return has fueled up the entirety of the golf world, and rightfully so. After all, it’s been upwards of 12 years since this force to be reckoned with has shown his true potential on the greens of a competitive golf event’s course.

Consequently, all eyes are set on him as he spreads his enigma at LIV Golf Jeddah. The big money that this sensation has made thanks to his calculated move to LIV Golf has become the topic of discussion, and the kick-start to this was given by his shoes.

The recently returned star’s decision to don this Off-White masterpiece, however, has left his fans with a love for sneakers and wanting to know more about the ‘whys’. From a preliminary observation, it can be pointed out that the mixed-color palette shoes seem to have a rubber sole and provide a blend of style and comfort, which is ideal for golf professionals like Kim.

His pick closely aligns with the new-age brand’s vision of inspiring a pioneering format for the future, where the age of imagination is the product of reality. It will be interesting to see if, following the creative minds of his shoemakers, the golf world’s long-lost legend will be able to live up to its expectations or not in his performance in Saudi Arabia.
