In golf, a game that requires serious mental fortitude, players will take extra confidence however they can get it. For Keegan Bradley, that confidence comes from his shoes.

Bradley says the specially-made elephant-print kicks served as motivation.

“I’m excited to wear his shoes and be part of [Michael Jordan's] brand,” he told reporters. “Just wearing these shoes makes me a little bit cockier, little more ready to win.”
