This week, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am makes its debut as a Signature Event, bringing exciting news for fans of the historic tournament. Adidas Golf and Malbon have collaborated to produce a stylish capsule collection of shoes, apparel, and accessories paying homage to the tournament’s old-school origins, cleverly titled “The Crosby Collection”.
Inspired by the original Crosby Clambake in 1937, Bing Crosby’s renowned gathering for professional golfers, celebrities, and musicians, this collection combines vintage aesthetics with a modern twist. According to Malbon Golf co-founder Stephen Malbon, the objective of the collection is to honour the essence of golf and fashion by reviving old silhouettes with a contemporary touch.
The men’s pieces in the collection include button-down polos, pleated trousers and shorts, crewnecks, a lightweight sport coat, and a cardigan, all inspired by posters from the early Clambakes. Meanwhile, the women’s items consist of a colour-blocked dress with an argyle print, polos with slightly longer and wider sleeves to go with a boxier cut, and a form-fitting culotte pant. Unisex pieces in the collection include a checkered anorak, a T-shirt featuring clam decanters that were given to all amateur participants in Bing’s Clambakes, and a 5-panel hat.
The collection also features two limited-edition shoe offerings: a specially designed Stan Smith Golf model as well as the new MC87. These nostalgic pieces are available on adidas.com, malbongolf.com, or at select adidas and Malbon Golf retail stores worldwide.
