Y2K wasn’t subtle. It wasn’t minimal. And it definitely wasn’t trying to be timeless.
It was shiny, technical, oversized, logo-forward, and a little chaotic, in the best way. And right now, through the lens of modern golf, it feels incredibly relevant.

The new Metalwood x adidas capsule leans fully into that energy. Six pieces—a polo, windbreaker, pant, hat, glove, and the exclusive MC70 golf shoe—channel the early 2000s with intentional nods to Adidas Teamgeist era design and 70s football boot stitching. The hero pant even features zippered leg vents that reveal the iconic 3-Stripes underneath. Subtle flex. Big statement.

The MC70 might be the crown jewel. Deco-stitched leather, football boot DNA, and modern golf tooling underneath. It feels like something you would’ve seen in a European locker room in 2004, except now it’s built for 2026 fairways.
And timing matters. Collin Morikawa coming off a win at Pebble Beach only amplifies the moment. He represents precision and polish, but this capsule gives him, and everyone else, permission to loosen up stylistically.
This drop also builds on momentum from the Predator Sala sneaker launch. Metalwood and adidas have proven they understand nostalgia not as costume, but as culture. They’re not just referencing the era. They’re translating it for a generation that wants golf to feel expressive again.
The adidas x Metalwood capsule drops in limited quantities starting Thursday, February 19 at metalwood.studio, followed by a wider release Friday, February 20 on the adidas CONFIRMED app, adidas.com, and select retailers.
