Adidas and Metalwood Bring Y2K Golf Style Back with a Bold New Collection

Adidas has just dropped a new partnership with Metalwood Studio, featuring a restricted collection influenced by Y2K golf fashion. This includes loose-fitting pants, large polos, and shoes that seem to have come from a European soccer field around 1997. This isn't understated, function-focused attire. It's a longing for a style that some adore and cherish, while others have been trying to move past for the last two decades.

For these individuals, golf attire has become a standard selection of slim-fit clothing, moisture-resistant materials available in 47 different shades of blue, and casual wear that is suitable for both the golf course and walking through the aisles at Whole Foods.

Back then, style was represented by loose and vibrant stripes rather than tight and conventional designs. The website of Metalwood Studio has a design reminiscent of when America Online was popular. Its appearance shouldn't be effective, yet it is.

The collaboration with Adidas is logical since it has consistently avoided separating sport from street culture. This Metalwood collection takes it even further, incorporating design elements from skateboarding, fashion, and the Y2K extravagance that brought us frosted haircuts and cargo shorts with numerous pockets.

The collection features six items: a polo that subtly references the mid-2000s adidas Teamgeist soccer ball designs, a windbreaker, a hat, a glove, and the highlight piece, a golf pant with zippered leg vents that expose three-stripe details when opened.

The leading product could be theMC70 golf shoe, which draws inspiration from 1970s soccer shoes, featuring decorative stitched leather upper details that have a more nostalgic than practical feel. Inside, modern golf shoe technology is present, but the outside exudes a retro vibe. It's the kind of footwear that will look great in Instagram photos and generate strong responses in the pro shop.
