adidas Reinvents Their Most Iconic Silhouettes in the Golf “Icons Pack”
It won't help your swing, but you'll at least look good at the 19th hole.
adidas has found its footing on the golf course through the popularity of models like the TOUR360, ZG23, and CODECHAOS, proving its performance pedigree during professional tours. However, it’s not always function over style as they adapt their most iconic silhouettes for the golf course. Case in point being the Samba, which made an appearance in the traditional white and gum color scheme last October. Expanding its efforts, the Three Stripes is now offering the aforementioned Samba, Stan Smith, and Superstar in the Icons Pack in a cool grey and off-white colorway with functional elements for golfers.
The soccer-turned-lifestyle “It” shoe, the Samba, comes equipped with a strengthened, EVA-cushioned midsole, while the outsole features three integrated rubber spikes. Therein is also redesigned with an adiwear imprint that resembles the traditional herringbone pattern.
The Stan Smith Golf returns since its previous collaboration with Vice Golf. This time around, it is back with a brown heel overlay, an off-white rubber midsole, and a grey leather upper with perforated Three Stripes. Similar to the Stan Smith, the shoe has an adiwear outsole, along with a multi-colored EVA cushioning and grip.
The Superstar then makes a return after a three-year sabbatical. In contrast to the other two shoes in the trio, the icon features modular spikes screwed into the sole with a soft textile lining on the upper. The sneakers otherwise follow a similar design with a shell toe, an off-white midsole, and a grey top. Brown accents complete the look.
The three-piece pack from on 12 May with each pair going for US$140.
