adidas x Bogey Boys Golf Apparel Collection
What do you get when you mash up Macklemore’s “Thrift Shop” with Run-DMCs “My adidas?”
I thought you’d never ask.
Introducing the adidas x Bogey Boys golf apparel collection. Inspired by the fashion of the ‘70s and ‘80s, the collection serves as a way for golfers both young and old to express their style.
What’s old is new again. Let’s take a closer look at the adidas x Bogey Boys collection.

What the heck is a Bogey Boy? Perhaps that was your nickname in high school? Just kidding. Bogey Boys is a golf apparel company founded by Macklemore. Yes, that Macklemore.
Bogey Boys’ shtick is high-quality golf apparel with a vintage and classic flair. They’re a relatively new company, founded in 2021. That said, a collaboration of this magnitude is a huge step forward for the brand.
Vintage Apparel for the Modern Golfer
One glance at the adidas x Bogey Boys collection invokes feelings of utter nostalgia. Whether you grew up in the 1970s or came a little later, there’s no doubt as to the inspiration behind this classic collection.
“As we continue our mission to be the most progressive golf brand in the world, this heritage gives us the luxury of revisiting our extensive archives for inspiration. Those now-retro designs were inspiring to us, and we know that golfers are once again looking for products that present classic, clean, and bold aesthetics with an attitude. Macklemore and the Bogey Boys team were the perfect partners for this because of their love for vintage apparel and eye-catching designs.” (Dylan Moore, Senior Creative Director, adidas Golf.)
For the youth of today, it’s a fun look back at what golf fashion used to be. For the older generation, it’s a subtle reminder of how the game has evolved. Regardless of which camp you fall into, the adidas x Bogey Boys collection has a piece or two for you.
Choose Your Fit
The extensive adidas x Bogey Boys collection is full of nostalgic golf goodies. I’m a particular fan of the polos. Heck, even the tracksuit is a good piece for a little post-round lounging.
Maybe you’re a fan of the more sophisticated stuff. The collection features a handsome sweater vest and pleated trousers, if you’re into that. Of course, the pants are made from adidas’ stretchy WARPKINIT material, making them plenty functional for the modern golfer.
How about a little love for our lady golfers? The adidas x Bogey Boys collection has you covered with a high-waisted skirt also made from modern materials.
A host of accessories, including a five-panel hat and a premium leather travel bag, round out the collection.
What About the Shoes?
The piece de resistance of the adidas x Bogey Boys collection has to be the adidas MC80 spikeless golf shoes. This new model is being introduced as a part of the limited collection, with more in-line styles to release down the road.
The new adidas MC80 spikeless golf shoe might look vintage but it’s packed with modern technology, including the beloved BOOST cushion.
It hides it well, doesn’t it? The MC80 is powered by the BOOST heel cushion but it is also bolstered by adidas TORSION bar (for stability) and a spikeless TPU outsole for traction.
A removable kiltie with co-branding adds to the effect.
Does the new adidas x Bogey Boys MC80 look like a shoe I would wear to church? Probably. Will I still wear it on the golf course, anyways? You bet your kiltie I will.
A Bogey Worth Carding
From what I can gather, golf is becoming more open to those trying to break the traditionalist mold. Is the adidas x Bogey Boys collection further proof of his notion? I would say so.
Kudos to adidas and Bogey Boys for getting outside the norm and bringing us something so fun and nostalgic.
The collection is available now.
