Tiger Woods leaving Nike still feels a bit weird, but now his Sun Day Red brand have become more established over the last few years, it has begun (at least for me, anyway) to feel a bit more normal. Launched in May 2024, they've now got a wider range of shoes available for us to buy - the Pioneer Cypress have proved to be one of the best spiked golf shoes, whilst the newly released Osprey golf shoes were described as 'outstanding' by Sam Tremlett, who awarded a rare five stars out of five review. It was my turn to see what the brand was all about, so to say I was excited to get out onto the golf course with the premium Pioneer Magnolia shoes.
One word came to mind when I took these shoes out of the box - luxury. To begin with the looks, I think these are the prettiest shoes I've ever laid my eyes on. Sun Day Red sorted me out beautifully with the navy and blue colorway and as a man who wears navy during 99.9% of my rounds, it's maybe no surprise I fell in love at first sight. For those that aren't as keen on navy, fear not, there are currently seven different colorways you can choose from. Because of this, I'd argue that these shoes look even better than the Pioneer Cypress shoes, and those look fantastic!
