These are the custom-made shoes that Nike did specifically for Michelle Wie to wear during the Kraft Nabisco Championship. (Red is apparently a color we'll be seeing a lot of during the 2011 KNC.)

Michelle Wie Back in Top 10

Michelle Wie has had a pretty good start to her 2011 season, and she's back in the Top 10 in the Women's World Rankings because of it. In the Rolex Rankings released on Monday, March 28, Wie stands at No. 9, moving up from two from last week and leapfrogging Paula Creamer.

Wie has two Top 10s in three starts so far in 2011, including a runner-up at her season opener in Thailand. And last week she was tied for seventh at the Kia Classic. (In-between was a finish of 40th at the HSBC Women's Champions.)
