G/FORE don't do things quietly. Primarily known for making some of the best spikeless shoes on the market, it's only in the last couple of years that the brand has started to make spiked shoes. The Gallivanter G/Lock arrived last year, and this year, the new MG4+ O2 G/Lock has arrived as a more athletic spiked option to the range. Based on the incredibly successful MG4+ silhouette, this new model is ostensibly the same design built on a new spiked platform. I loved the MG4+ spikeless, so the new shoe must be impressive too, right?
Well, from a looks perspective, it ticks all the boxes once again. You could argue that G/FORE has dialled down its garishness since it was founded in 2011. Gone is the arrow branding it used to incorporate on the side of the shoe, now replaced with block colourways and subtle detailing you can only see close up, rather than from 100 yards down the fairway. It is still very much a fashion-forward brand, and I think that comes across in the looks of this new silhouette.
