adidas Golf and Skateboarding Team Up for 'Rolling Links' Collection

Post-Covid golf has emerged as a pastime favored by casual and professional skaters seeking a break from their adrenaline-driven exploits. Even though the two sports are fundamentally different from a cultural perspective, the trend becomes easier to understand when you consider that both are individual sports that allow for an honest expression of identity through style. adidas‘s new Rolling Links collection, a collaboration between the brand’s golf and skate divisions, speaks to this truth.

Taking adidas pro skaters Nora Vasconcellos, Kader Sylla, Jack Fardell and Zach Saraceno to Palm Springs, the range of apparel delivers relaxed silhouettes in a green, white and black color theme with classic Trefoil logos. The footwear team at adidas Golf, where former pro skater June Cate is a senior designer, also chips-in two collaborative models.

Highlights of the unisex capsule include the long sleeve polo with subtle vertical striping and contrasting collar, the nylon vest with a knit waist and collar and the Superstar Golf which has a removable kiltie, blue and green accents.

“This type of collaboration at adidas is just one that makes sense, especially since there are so many parallels between the two sports,” said Adam Brown, senior brand director at adidas skateboarding. “We see the changes that are happening in golf from a style standpoint, and we’re excited to partner with the golf team on something unique for the course that has a skate influence.”

Check back in on October 4 when the collection will drop on adidas.com, the adidas app and the CONFIRMED shop.
