The adidas Samba was, according to most, the undisputed sneaker of the year in 2023. (Yes, there is such an award.)
Its resurgence in classrooms and shopping malls around the globe is perhaps the biggest reason why adidas is forecasting big profits for 2024. Lifestyle and streetwear brands like Kith, Extra Butter and Palace have scooped up opportunities to collaborate on such an iconic shoe.
Now it’s golf’s turn. And there’s no brand more accustomed to collabs of this magnitude than the collab kings themselves: Malbon.
It seems like every week I’ve got news of a new Malbon collab in my inbox. I tend to engage with most as I’m definitely the target demo. But this collab stopped me dead in my tracks.
Admittedly, I’ve never been the biggest fan of the Samba. I just don’t love all-white or all-black shoes. So when I saw that Malbon was interjecting some life and color into the silhouette, I took notice.

Ever wanted to put your own “stamp” on your golf game but never had the courage to take the leap? Look no further. Customization is no longer just for the pros. Weekend warriors, range rats and everyone in between now have more options than ever when it comes to customizing their sticks. It’s become a badge of individualism.
Whether you engrave the name of a loved one or show off your school pride, displaying that personal touch with golf clubs is more popular than ever.
Back in 2014, MyGolfSpy released the #pimplist: a compilation of wedges showcasing the creativity of the golf community. Now, in 2024, here are some of the newest wedge designs that caught our eye.
1. Grind Your Golf – SM9 Vokey “Mystery Machine”
Become one of the gang as Fred, Velma, Daphne, Shaggy and Scoob bring the Mystery Machine to life with this one of a kind wedge. Laser-engraved and hand-painted, this wedge may just solve all your wedge game mysteries. The next time you take your competitors’ money on the 18th green, they’ll be saying, “I would’ve gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for (you) meddling kids.”
2. Grind Your Golf – SM10 Vokey “Bart’s Self Talk”
Grind Your Golf creates more cartoon nostalgia with this “Simpsons” themed wedge. Springfield’s resident troublemaker will help you escape all sorts of trouble on the course with this design. Just like its “Mystery Machine” counterpart, this wedge shows unreal craftsmanship anyone would envy. Just don’t put it in detention and you two will get along just fine.
Bob Vokey celebrated his 85th birthday doing what he loves: talking about wedges and the short game.
But this occasion was extra-special. It took place last month at TPC Toronto Osprey Valley, home of the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame. Titleist’s master wedge craftsman got to see his Hall of Fame locker for the first time, commemorating his induction as the Hall’s 79th member. (Vokey is a native of Canada, having been born in Montreal in 1939 and raised in nearby Verdun.)
On the day of his induction in 2017, retired Acushnet chairman and CEO Wally Uihlein said:
“Bob is product-centric, first and foremost. He embodies all of the core values of performance and quality excellence, commitment to the process, servicing the needs of our pyramid of influence. He understands there is a route to market advantage if you do it right and, most importantly for him, who we are in wedges, is who Bob is. He personifies our brand.”
MyGolfSpy contributor Rick Young has covered Vokey and the Vokey wedge franchise since it began in 1997. He sat down with Vokey after the TPC Toronto event to talk wedges, his career and Vokey’s passion for wanting to help golfers with their short game.
BANDON, OREGON—On a perfect July 4th afternoon, with no clouds in the sky and cool air coming off the Pacific Ocean, I stepped onto the first tee of Bandon Dunes’ newest course.
Having opened this past May, Shorty’s is now the seventh layout at the resort that recently celebrated its 25-year anniversary. Constructed on dramatic sand dunes bordering Bandon Trails, the 19-hole par-3 course was the brainchild of Rod Whitman, Dave Axland and Keith Cutten—the first new architects represented at Bandon since 2005 when Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore designed Trails.
The short course trend has been raging for a decade-plus now, so it only made sense that Bandon—one of the top golf destinations in the world at this point—would add a second one (the 13-hole Bandon Preserve being the first).
My day started with a 7 a.m. tee time at Pacific Dunes, the Tom Doak design that came online in 2001. Pac Dunes is a punishing yet beautiful brute. The test there is battling omnipresent winds that swat your ball into undesirable locations, being faced with long irons to greens defended by gorse and dealing with the consequences of taking on (or avoiding) ocean cliffs.
It is big, bold and brash, like a Ramones concert. It’s daunting and breathtaking, a thrill ride that gives and takes at a rate that can leave you feeling overwhelmed – in a good way. The golf you find and the views you see rival any course I’ve witnessed but it’s a place that can exhaust the senses. Pac Dunes is Golf with a capital G.
Every day we’re bombarded with marketing. With the myriad voices pulling you in every direction, how can one be sure what is truth and what is not? At our core, MyGolfSpy serves the consumer. That means we have an obligation to inform you when a product lives up to the marketing hype. In the same vein, we also bear the duty of telling you to avoid a product that doesn’t deliver on its promises. Welcome to “Ad” to Cart, a new series where we test the gear that’s being advertised all over your social media feeds.
The Ad
The premise of this review is quite simple: Are Redvanly golf shoes the comfiest golf shoe you’ll ever wear?
More succinctly, should you be spending your hard-earned cash on a pair of shoes from Redvanly? I love their shorts but can their shoes live up to the hype?
While my opinion is subjective, based on my personal preferences, I always strive to give my raw, honest feedback. My review of the Redvanly Contender Shoe is no different.
My thoughts
I spent ample time in both the Redvanly Contender and Challenger golf shoes. Because the ad features the Contender, my review will focus on that. Rest assured that both shoes are very similar in performance.
