Brooks Koepka shared a surprising announcement on Thursday, unveiling a special Nike collaboration that goes beyond the game of golf. The five-time major champion revealed a new pair of Nike shoes, his edition designed with a deep family connection.

“What a sick box,” Koepka said, unboxing the shoes in a video. “It’s dedicated to my son. His whole room is decked out in space… and ironically enough, my brother’s nickname is Space too. So it kind of really ties into the whole family.”

Koepka expressed how meaningful the moment was for him. “My son means the world to me. To have a shoe, my own PE, and actually dedicated to him is pretty unique and special.” He added that he hopes his son will wear them one day, saying, “I’m sure he’ll be rocking them to school next Monday.”

In a poston Instagram, Koepka wrote, “Lacing up something special this week. For my son’s love of space, my brother ‘Space,’ and a nod to Virgil. It’s bigger than the game. It’s about steps that leave a mark @nike.”
