Adidas has always been a name that transcends sport. Whether it’s the unmistakable Predator boots that revolutionised football, the timeless Stan Smiths gracing high streets across the globe, or the unmistakable three-stripe tracksuits seen everywhere from the gym to Glastonbury — Adidas is more than a sportswear label. It’s a cultural cornerstone. And now, in one of the most exciting moves in recent golf fashion, Adidas has brought its Originals line back to the fairway — and Function18 is here for it.
Adidas Originals has emphatically re-entered the golf game, fusing nostalgic streetwear aesthetics with technical golf performance gear. It’s not just a throwback—it’s a redefinition of what it means to look good and play sharp on the course.
A Legacy Reimagined
To understand the buzz surrounding this launch, it’s worth digging into Adidas’ roots in golf. The brand has a proud history in the sport, dating back to the 1950s. And who could forget Sandy Lyle’s 1988 Masters victory — green jacket over an Originals polo, forever cemented in golfing history? That moment, a cultural crossover of performance and personal style, inspired the return of the Trefoil logo to the course in 2025.
With golf entering a new era — fuelled by Netflix’s Full Swing, viral social content, and the surge of young, fashion-forward players — Adidas saw the moment was ripe. The Originals golf capsule was reborn and is nothing short of iconic.
The Launch Heard Around the Links
Adidas’ global HQ in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria — known as the World of Sports — played host to the unveiling of this bold new move. The collection debuted officially on April 3, 2025, aligning with the buzz of the Masters week. Rising star Ludvig Åberg gave fans the first glimpse, wearing a key ensemble from the range at Augusta National. The fusion of sports heritage with modern style made a clear statement: Adidas isn’t just back in golf; it’s here to shape its future.
Style With Substance
Let’s talk gear. This isn’t just about nostalgic branding — the Adidas Originals Golf Collection marries style and functionality, and every piece has been carefully designed with playability in mind.
The COURSECUP golf shoe leads the line — a contemporary reinterpretation of the mid-80s Gold Cup silhouette. This spikeless shoe is as comfortable in the clubhouse as it is on the green, featuring modern traction, lightweight construction, and a waterproof finish.
Also making waves is the Gazelle Golf — a spikeless version of the iconic Gazelle trainer, re-engineered for performance. Both models are available now at Function18’s footwear collection, where you’ll find the latest in Adidas innovation alongside classics from brands like Nike, FootJoy, and Puma Golf.
The apparel range, meanwhile, is equally dialled in. Retro-inspired knit polos feature jacquard patterns and three-stripe detailing that nods to the archives. Pleated trousers and performance shorts blend heritage design with moisture-wicking, stretch-friendly fabrics perfect for all-day wear.
Explore these elevated fits in the Adidas golf collection at Function18.
Originals for a New Golf Culture
Why now? Because golf is not just about the swing — it’s about expression. From clubhouses to Instagram, players are showing off their personalities like never before. Whether you’re in a midlayer from J.Lindeberg, a bold hoodie from Puma, or an accessory from Oakley, today’s fairways are as much about style as they are about scorecards.
Adidas understands that cultural shift better than most. Originals Golf isn’t just gear — it’s a statement. It says you’re here to play hard but also to enjoy yourself. You take your game seriously, but not too seriously. You care about performance, but you also care about what you’re wearing.
It’s perfect for the kind of golfer we love at Function18—one who blends tradition with individuality and wears premium brands not just because they perform but because they say something.
