Nike x Drake NOCTA Golf Crewneck Top
This year, in an unexpected turn of events, Drake and Nike released a collection of golf-inspired items through Drake’s NOCTA imprint. Most did not expect a drop of its kind from NOCTA, as previous releases have been inspired by Britain’s Grime and “Roadman” culture. But as stated by Nike, their goal is to create apparel that “nods to sport, but is rooted and inspired by those who roam the streets.” This crewneck from the recent collection achieves just that. The NOCTA Golf crewneck features both brands’ graphics on its nylon and spandex-based construction, making it a very flexible piece for any activity. A bungee-cord waistline helps lock in heat when need while its ventilation-slit back helps heat escape to prevent exhaustion, making it a versatile piece for either golf or normal streetwear use.
Air Jordan 4 Golf Military Blue
Michael Jordan brought his unmatched drive for winning to many sports outside of basketball, including golf. Bring that GOAT-like energy to the course with the Air Jordan 4 Golf Military Blue. This golf shoe is a homage to the original Military Blue Jordan 4 from 1989, which is one of the original colorways of MJ’s fourth signature sneaker. From the Military Blue accents on the midsole and wingtips to the white and grey leather materials throughout, its retro design is enough to make any non-golfer sneakerhead want to try out the sport just to wear these shoes. Ensuring that they are indeed for the links and not for the streets, the outsole is equipped with golf spikes for traction. Whether you’re looking to up your kicks game on the course or you’re looking for the right gift for a big golf fan, the Air Jordan 4 Golf Military Blue are available in full sizing on StockX. And if you get them now, most sizes are close to the retail price.
New Balance 997G Malbon Golf
Golf has always had a reputation for being a sport catered towards society’s rich and elite, discouraging those outside of the 1% from joining. But the streetwear brand Malbon wants to change that negative stigma through their products. In a StockX-exclusive interview with Stephen Malbon, the creator of the brand, he states that Malbon’s mission is to “get young people to participate in golf.” And what better way to catch the attention of youths than with sneakers? Through an exclusive DropX, Malbon and New Balance released a limited set of two 997G shoes ready for 18-holes. The cleats are dressed in black and grey leathers respectively and mesh with similar colored trim throughout the upper. The gum outsole features six spikes for grip on the green. By using traditional sneaker styles seen on other popular silhouettes, this exclusive Malbon collaboration focuses on influencing more people to play golf. If you fully support that mission and want to get more people into the sport, then use these 997Gs this holiday season as a persuasive gift.
Nike x Stone Island Golf Crewneck
Through brands like Malbon and New Balance, golf has seen a huge increase in popularity, especially in both streetwear and sneaker scenes. Further pushing its presence in both cultures is Nike’s collaboration with Stone Island. Back in 2019, the two entities came together to release a collection of golf garments, with each piece combining Stone Island’s iconic textiles with Nike Golf’s technological advancements in the field and fairway. This yellow crewneck from the joint project features a mix of stretchy, breathable nylon with comfortable polyester materials, while Nike Swoosh embroidery on the back and Stone Island’s signature compass patch on the sleeve show off the two brand’s partnership. Even if you’re not into golf or don’t necessarily see yourself playing the sport, this piece is just as easy to wear on the course as it is to wear off it, proving golf’s rising influence on streetwear designs.
Air Jordan 11 Low Golf Cool Grey
Even though this year’s Air Jordan 11 Cool Grey retro won’t be making an appearance in golf spikes, this 2019 Low version might be a great consolation. Jordan Brand’s popular Cool Grey colorway made its way to the green in the form of an Air Jordan 11 Low. Although optimized for golf, this pair is similar in design to 2018’s AJ11 Low Cool Grey retro. Featuring classic patent leather and suede uppers and an icy outsole, the Air Jordan 11 Low Golf Cool Grey brings the popular design to your golf swing. Additionally, the classic Jumpman logo further brings MJ’s winning mentality to any golfer’s game. If you or a loved one is looking to bring that December Jordan 11 heat to the golf course, make sure to pick up a pair of these on StockX before the holiday rush.
Air Jordan 1 Golf Chicago
Speaking of bringing more heat to your game, if price isn’t an obstacle, then the Air Jordan 1 Golf Chicago is the ultimate golf cleat that tops any and all cleats. Whether in golf form or retro form, the traditional Chicago colorway paired with the Jordan 1 represents MJ at his prime. This golf version of the Jordan 1 brings the popular silhouette to the course, featuring varsity red, white, and black leather throughout the upper. The sole is where basketball meets golf, as the cleat features a thick white midsole for cushion and large spikes throughout the outsole for further stability on the course.
Palace adidas Golf Crewneck
If you or someone you know is the type of person that plays golf even when it’s cold, then this crew neck might be a suitable companion. The fine streetwear brand across the pond, Palace, worked on a collection of golf pieces with adidas. Moving away from the norm of subtle colors, this collaboration brought forth a selection of vibrant clothes and accessories to wear while swinging a nine-iron. This pullover from the pack features an elastic waist and cuffs to lock in warmth. Reflective Palace and adidas logos can be seen on the front, while Palace’s signature Tri-Ferg logo is printed on the piece’s ventilated back. If you’re looking to bring some warmth to your game or want to provide the same courtesy to a loved one, make sure to add this to your list of holiday items and cop it on StockX.
Palace Titleist Pro V1 Golf Balls
What good is wearing all of these fine pieces to the course without having the one thing that you truly need to play? Alongside their adidas Golf collab, Palace also released a set of three special golf balls with Titleist. Titleist is one of the premier golf brands in the industry as they’re known for their high-quality clubs, balls, and other essential golfing equipment. This collaboration bridges the superb designs of Titleist with the out-of-the-box graphics of Palace. Each ball features both brands’ logos alongside Palace’s pitbull mascot swinging a club and wearing a red sweater. With all of the white balls that will be on the course, these Palace balls will ensure that you have a set that stands out from the rest of the pack.
