Starting tomorrow, the golf world will shift its focus to the Black Course of Bethpage State Park in New York. The 2025 Ryder Cup tees off Friday, and players are already bringing the heat.
The competition is highly competitive, but both rival team captains share one thing in common: Jordan Brand golf shoes. Team USA Captain Keegan Bradley and Team Europe Captain Luke Donald are both stepping onto the course in special promo ‘Ryder Cup’ Air Jordan 1 Lows.
Each pair features country colors, the iconic Ryder Cup logo, and a nod to New York City on the outsole. Below is a detailed look and breakdown of each colorway.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be able to represent the greatest country in the world and walk the course in Jordans – a symbol of greatness,” said Bradley.
“There’s no denying the grit and dawg mentality that MJ embodied as he led his team to multiple victories, and there’s no question we’re bringing that same energy this week as we look to take home the trophy.”
Bradley’s player-exclusive colorway features a white leather upper contrasted by red overlays. Blue Swoosh logos pop off the sides of the shoes, while Jordan Brand and Ryder Cup branding add the finishing touches to the shoes.

“The Ryder Cup is one of the most special sporting events in the world, so it’s an honour to both serve as the European Captain and wear the Jumpman this week,” said Donald.
“Michael [Jordan] has built an amazing brand defined by greatness, and it’s not lost on me that he had many special moments playing visitor in New York. This week, I hope to bring that same inner greatness and lead the team to back-to-back victories.”
Donald’s player-exclusive colorway sports a white leather upper complemented by blue overlays. Gold Swoosh logos appear on the sides of the shoes, while the Jordan Brand logo and Ryder Cup emblem jump off the tongues.
