TRUE linkswear TRUE Antigravity
The TRUE linkswear Antigravity represents a distinct pivot for a brand rooted in minimalist design. While the company built its reputation on thin, sensitive soles, this model introduces a more robust platform aimed at the serious walking golfer. It successfully bridges the gap between the high-rebound performance of elite distance running and a visual language that feels like an homage to the golden era of California skate culture. TRUE linkswear delivered a shoe that feels as much like a nostalgic streetwear staple as it does a modern piece of golf equipment.
The Looks
Visually, the TRUE linkswear Antigravity favors the profiles that dominated the West Coast scene at the turn of the millennium. The silhouette has more substance than a standard thin-soled golf shoe, which helps it transition seamlessly from the driveway to the putting green. A recycled ripstop material reinforced with a TPU laminate forms the upper, providing a technical, durable appearance while remaining flexible. This construction avoids the look of a stiff, traditional golf shoe, making it a strong choice for those who prefer heading straight from the house to the course without a wardrobe change in the parking lot.
The colorways for the Antigravity are versatile and lean into clean, modern tones. The core lineup includes Cloud White, Glacier Navy (pictured here), Fade to Grey, and Sunset. Additionally, a limited Antigravity+ LE in Magnolia White swaps the ripstop for a more elegant TRUEDura upper and features gold “Dead Golfer” branding and metallic accents for a premium finish. One might assume that this may foreshadow a more premium “Pro” version of the Antigravity in the future.
Comfort Level
Midsole construction is where the TRUE linkswear Antigravity stands apart. It features Pebax Superfoam, a material elite distance runners rely on in their shoes for extreme energy return and minimal weight. Instead of simply absorbing impact, the foam provides a “pop” that is immediately noticeable during a walking round.
Despite the extra cushion, the signature wide toe box remains. This allows toes to splay naturally, providing relief for anyone who feels cramped in narrow, traditional athletic fits. A 4mm drop keeps the foot relatively level, offering a stable sensation that doesn’t feel like being perched on a platform. The experience is rounded out by a perforated neoprene tongue that aids in breathability and heat dissipation during warmer days. There is also plenty of plush padding around the collar, which ensures a secure fit without any of the rubbing or irritation often found in more rigid designs.
On-Course Performance
On the course, the TRUE linkswear Antigravity’s technical components work to keep the responsive foam stable. A full-length nylon speedboard is embedded within the midsole to act as a stabilizer. During the golf swing, this plate prevents the foot from rolling or feeling mushy, ensuring the energy return doesn’t compromise lateral support. This also gives you strong ground response and helps maintain your balance on any lie.
The outsole is a spikeless design that holds up well on the course and handles the torque of a full swing. While not a deep-lugged mud tire (check out my favorite spiked shoe, the TRUE linkswear Player if you’re looking for extreme traction), the traction is sufficient for most playing conditions. The waterproof rating also ensures that morning dew or a sudden light shower won’t ruin the walk. I even accidentally wore these through a post-storm mud bath of a round where my feet stayed dry and the shoes cleaned up nicely after the round. Most importantly, I was able to maintain strong grip and had zero slipping issues.
It’s also worth noting that as a walking shoe, I found the Antigravity to be as good as it gets. Obviously the comfort plays a huge role in this, but the Pebax Superfoam really does make for a great long-term walking experience.
Final Thoughts – TRUE linkswear TRUE Antigravity
The TRUE linkswear Antigravity is a specialized tool for the walking golfer that avoids the typical trade-offs between cushioning and stability. By pulling high-rebound tech from the running world and wrapping it in a silhouette that channels a classic West Coast skate aesthetic, the result is a high-energy shoe that performs as well as it looks.
It’s a versatile performer that holds up through high-speed range sessions and wet walking rounds while maintaining its specific street appeal. For the golfer who wants a nostalgic look backed by modern technical performance and reliable waterproof protection, the Antigravity is a strong addition to the rotation that performs exactly as advertised through 18 holes and beyond.
