Michael Jordan’s German Air Jordan 6 sports car served as the inspiration for the shoe to promote speed and class. A molded heel tab is on the back of the shoe, something Jordan himself required back in ’91 so that it wouldn’t hit his Achilles tendon when putting it on.
There are certain features that stay in line with the retro-looking silhouette. The two holes in the tongue are an ode to the original Air Jordan 5. The shoe features and outsole add grip to give enough stability for the course.

Grammy award-winning artist Macklemore has always been a fashion icon. From his hit music to hit vintage outfits, he has always been known for his eclectic style.

“As the original sports brand, we’ve been designing product for sports like golf and tennis for more than 50 years,” said Dylan Moore, senior creative director, Adidas Golf. “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.”
