To celebrate golf’s fourth and final major of the 2019 season, Nike has tapped stone Island for a golf-focused collection that’s made to tackle all weather conditions. Modelled on professional northern Irish golfer Rory McIlroy, the collaboration includes two innovative pieces that take technical apparel to a whole other level.
Comprising of a jacket and a crew neck sweater, both pieces allow wearers to relocation around with ease, and boast a ton of golf-specific features, including pockets for balls, tees, as well as gloves.
Available in two and three colourways respectively, each item is crafted from a military grade cotton satin for an ultra breathable experience that doesn’t compromise on water resistance. To add to this, Stoney’s signature adaptive fibres also make an appearance here, locking in warmth and maintaining optimal body temperature.
“One of the things that has always made me enthusiastic is that those who love sports love stone Island. Golf particularly fascinates me, because it is a precision game in which concentration and power play a fundamental role on athletic gesture and on performance,”; said creative director and Chairman of stone Island Carlo Rivetti in a press release. “Working on garments with Nike Golf gave us the opportunity to create true technical and performing pieces. It is the first time for stone Island on the field of play, in one of the most noble sports in the world.”
The Stone Island x Nike 2019 collection will make its debut during the tournament, and will release globally on July 25th at Nike and select stockists. let us know if you’re interested in adding these to your collection, and while you’re here, why not check out the rest of the Nike sneaker range?
