KR Strikeforce Wingman Black Carbon Men’s Bowling Shoes

The KR Strikeforce Wingman is a lightweight athletic bowling shoe designed for comfort and a smooth, consistent slide. Sitting in the athletic tier of the KR lineup, it’s a go-to choice for league nights or casual games when you want sneaker-like comfort with a true bowling slide.

Made for both right- and left-handed bowlers, it combines a lightweight build with a breathable mesh and PU upper that keeps your feet cool during long sessions. With cushioned, all-day comfort, it feels broken in from the very first frame.

Because it carries a slide pad on both shoes, there is no wrong foot. Either foot can lead your slide, which makes it an easy, forgiving choice for newer bowlers, two-handers, and anyone who wants one shoe that simply works.

The Slide Pads and FlexSlide

Both shoes ship with a #8 white microfiber slide pad backed by FlexSlide Technology. The #8 pad is a true slide setup that glides clean and consistent right out of the box on the lighter conditioning most house lanes carry, with no break-in needed.

Having the same slide pad on both feet is what makes it universal. A right-handed bowler slides on the left foot and a left-handed bowler slides on the right, and because both shoes are set up to slide, it fits either bowler with no hand to choose at checkout.

The Upper, Cushioning, and Outsole

The breathable mesh and PU upper keeps the shoe light and your feet cool, while the fully textile-lined interior with a padded tongue and collar wraps your foot in a snug, low-friction fit. The Komfort-Fit lace-up closure lets you dial the hold to your foot.

Underfoot, a deluxe open-cell foam footbed cushions every step, and the New Athletic CMEVA outsole with a raised rubber heel pod adds flexibility and balance, so you move naturally through your approach and finish stable at the line.
