Samba Golf, the Shoe of the Summer? 🌞

[Hypegolf] August 22, 2024 Weekly Digest ️🙌 Malbon and adidas Show Why the Samba Golf Is Here to Stay TLDR: With a Kith collaboration already under its belt this summer the adidas Samba Golf is officially back, and now it’s Malbon Golf’s turn to leave its mark on the low profile silhouette.⁠Why It Matters: The two brands first teamed up starting early in 2023 on a series of co-branded collections and then at the beginning of this year came together for the Crosby Collection, a more formal collaboration. This latest project falls more into the former category, with the standout Samba complemented by men’s and women’s golf apparel. More than a simple case of slapping an “M” logo on an already finished product, Malbon offers a custom take complete with two tone green serrated stripes, a light brown outsole, metallic gold accents and light gray suede to highlight the signature split toe design. The surrounding apparel options offer plenty of matching green potential like the color block Ultimate365 Sport Polo or the more understated Ultimate365 Anorak.⁠Read the full article [here](. --------------------------------------------------------------- 🩳 The Best Golf Shorts from Our Favorite Indie Brands TLDR: Summer may be winding down in many parts of the United States but a reliable pair of golf shorts is never really out of season. In order to build the perfect rotation we’ve curated a selection of versatile, lifestyle and classic shorts, ensuring you have something to wear at country clubs, driving ranges and munis alike.⁠Why It Matters: Today’s style norms are shifting not only on the grassroots level but also on tour (thank you Jason Day and Malbon Golf), which means that many golf shorts now have a better chance at passing for gym shorts, tennis shorts or trail shorts, and vice versa. Having said that, there are still plenty of style points to be gained from mastering the old money, country club aesthetic.⁠Read the full article [here](. --------------------------------------------------------------- 🚶 Converting Golf Shoes Into Street Shoes TLDR: Although Nike’s days of making “traditional” looking golf shoes may be well in the past, Samuel Falzone is keeping the heritage alive and well, turning discontinued silhouettes from the Air Zoom series and reconstructing them with rugged storm welts and tanned leather trims.⁠Why It Matters: Falzone’s background isn’t in golf, in fact, he’s only ever played at driving ranges and putt putt courses, and when asked who his favorite golfer is he responded with Larry David. Trained in industrial design, he learned the craft of shoemaking in Florence, Italy and then worked as a designer for a corporate footwear wholesaler before starting his own practice. That’s how he was introduced to Ben Stricof and the Lower Manhattan menswear boutique & son where Falzone sells his shoes as an in-house designer.⁠Read the full article [here](. --------------------------------------------------------------- 💅 adidas Golf and JAY3LLE Team Up to Champion Women's Golf TLDR: The best female golfers in the world are getting ready for the AIG Women’s Open in St Andrews, Scotland, which isn’t exactly a fashion mecca, but adidas is hoping to change that. And they won’t be able to do it without the help of new label JAY3LLE. ⁠Why It Matters: The brand, a product of Johan Lindeberg and his daughter Blue Lindeberg, launched earlier this year with a series of ballet slippers, opting for one off “item” releases rather than full collections. But now JAY3LLE’s first big collaboration has arrived, and it’ll be showcased all week on the body of Swedish professional golfer and adidas athlete Linn Grant.

Golf is undergoing a similar process of reacclimatization right now, evidenced by a wave of twenty-somethings picking up the sport and new brands breaking the plain khakis and polo mold.
