Adidas Golf has launched a new capsule apparel collection inspired by the world of skateboarding.
The Rolling Links collection, which will begin retailing October 4, features crewneck windshirts, hoodies, V-neck vests, short-sleeve polo shirts, long-sleeve polo shirts, mocks and more for men and women, showcasing two seemingly contrasting sports. Worlds collide. Neck short sleeve shirt.
The selection is complemented by shorts and chinos with tonal three-stripe side hem detail. The shades of white, grey, black, green and blue that make up this range are a nod to both the sport and the iconic Adidas Trefoil logo. The silhouette offers a relaxed and sporty vibe.
“Today’s golf fashion landscape is influenced by many different areas of sport, culture and fashion,” said Dylan Moore, creative director of adidas Golf. “Skateboarding, like golf, is a sport that is unpretentious in style, unique and has a bit of attitude. We saw an opportunity to create something unique and continue to push golf fashion forward in new ways.”
“Golf is definitely a sport that is growing when skateboarding isn’t happening in the skate community for a variety of reasons,” said Adam Brown, senior brand director for Adidas Skateboarding. . “This kind of collaboration at Adidas only makes sense, especially since there are so many similarities between these two sports. We’re excited to partner with the golf team on something unique for this skate-inspired course.”
To bring the creative campaign to life, adidas chose the iconic Palm Springs as a backdrop. The main reason for this is its laid-back atmosphere and its notoriety as a place where you can always escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The marketing campaign for the new collection also features members of the adidas Pro Skateboarding team: Nora Vasconcelos, Cadel Silla, Jacques Fadell and Zach Saraceno.
The collection also includes two footwear options, including a special chalk white edition of the Superstar Golf with green and blue detailing, and an all-black MC Z-Traxion. Crew socks and a cap in different colors complete the look.
Rolling Links will be available in limited quantities starting October 4th on adidas.com, the adidas app and at select retailers worldwide.
