In a nod to the golden era of golf, adidas and Malbon Golf have teamed up to present The Crosby Collection, a captivating ensemble inspired by the iconic Bing Crosby Clambake that left an indelible mark on the intersection of golf, fashion, and entertainment.
Before it was known as the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Bing Crosby started the Crosby Clambake in 1937. The vibrant annual event seamlessly brought together musicians, actors, celebrities, and professional golfers. Fast forward to 2024, and the collaboration between adidas and Malbon Golf pays homage to this rich history, encapsulating the camaraderie, spirit, and fashion that defined the event and the era.
For men, the collection boasts button-down polos, pleated trousers, crewnecks, and an iconic cardigan reminiscent of the early Clambakes. Women are offered an array of chic pieces, including a color-blocked dress with an argyle print, polos with a boxier cut, and form-fitting culotte pants. All integrate adidas’ cutting-edge technology, ensuring you can enjoy style and performance on the course.
“We wanted to create pieces based on the rich catalog that golf fashion gave us in the 30s and 40s along with what we saw in old photographs from Bing’s famous Clambakes,” said Dylan Moore, creative director, adidas Golf. “The entire collection is an ode to what golf and fashion became at that time in history but also celebrates how those same characteristics and fashion styles from that time still live on with golfers today.”
“With this collection, we wanted to pay tribute to the essence of golf and fashion by taking old silhouettes and modernizing them,” said Malbon Golf co-founder Stephen Malbon. It was an honor to create a collection inspired by the legendary Bing Crosby. His iconic Crosby Clambake was a perfect celebration of the timeless connection between style, sport, and camaraderie that reflects our brand’s ethos.”
In addition to the key pieces in the collection, the collection also features a checkered anorak, clam decanter-themed T-shirts, and a 5-panel hat. Beyond the range of apparel, limited-edition footwear, including specially designed Stan Smith Golf and MC87 models round out the collection.
The Crosby Collection is available in limited quantities exclusively on adidas.com, the adidas app, malbongolf.com, and select adidas and Malbon Golf retail stores.
