Adicross (styled adicross) is the purveyors of the three stripes’ non-traditional golf line. The latest incarnation of Adicross footwear and apparel draws on the vibrant colors and attitude 90s outdoor fashion and culture for inspiration.

In addition to the range of short and long-sleeve polos, pants, hoodies, and anoraks, Adidas is unveiling two new footwear silhouettes for 2023: Adicross Hi and Adicross Lo.

Speaking about the Adicross apparel collection, Shaun Madigan, Global Director of Apparel at Adidas Golf, said: “We’ve always been intrigued with the bold and vibrant colorways that are inextricably linked to outdoor fashion and style. Our adicross range is the segment of our brand where we look to incorporate modern design aesthetics, so with our sport being played outdoors, we felt this was the perfect opportunity to draw from those designs and bring some fresh styles to golfers looking to break away from conventional norms that are so often associated with our sport.”

Details on a few pieces from the range (with info from Adidas), include:

Adicross Block Polo – Bold color blocking, oversized logos, 3-Stripes detail on sleeve and made with 100% organic cotton, this polo will bring a new vibe to the fairways. This polo comes in both a short- and long-sleeve option.
Adicross Full-Zip Hooded Jacket – This lightweight woven jacket made with recycled nylon offers great stretch, features front pockets on both sides in addition to a wide pocket on back hip, 3-Stripes detail on the sleeve and makes for a perfect layering piece to give golfers great protection from the wind.
Adicross Pant – Built for the adventure that lies ahead these pants are made with recycled nylon, come in a looser fit to provide great stretch, feature a dobby texture on the back side of the fabric for added weight and warmth, an outdoor-inspired buckle closure and includes a large back pocket and zip-off legs to convert to shorts for those warmer days out on the course. A shorts-only version will also be offered.

A look at the Adicross Lo, below.

Available for men and women, the apparel collection — which is made with recycled materials — will be available worldwide beginning January 12 in stores and on adidas.com, with footwear available beginning January 26.

Adam Scott makes 3 more big changes to his equipment setup at the Memorial

If you thought Adam Scott was slowing down on the equipment changes, you’d be wrong.

GolfWRX got the first look at the retail version of Adam Scott’s Miura AS-1 irons back at The 2023 Players Championship, but it wasn’t until this week at the 2023 Memorial Tournament that he actually put the new irons in the bag. He was previously using the original Miura prototype heads that, coincidentially, he first put into play at last year’s 2022 Memorial event. In exactly a year’s time, Scott replaced those prototype heads with the Miura AS-1 irons that were recently made available to the public.

This week, we also got an in-hand look at Scott’s new Srixon ZX Mk II driving iron, which he’s now equipping with a True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 shaft.

Additionally, Getty Images spotted Scott with a new TaylorMade BRNR Mini driver in the bag this week.

According to TaylorMade, Scott is using a Stealth 2 Plus driver in combination with a BRNR Mini this week, and he’s currently leading Strokes Gained: Off the Tee after the first round of the Memorial, where he shot a 2-under 70.

Scott’s Stealth 2 Plus and BRNR Mini specs and launch numbers

Head: TaylorMade Stealth 2 Plus (9 degrees, with 10 degrees of actual loft)
Shaft: Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 7X
Length: 45 and 1/8 inches CUT (tipped 1 inch)
Weights: 19g back, 15g front
Swingweight: D3.5
Stealth 2 Plus launch conditions: 11.5° degrees launch at 2400 spin, 305 carry, 320+ total, 181 ball speed

Head: TaylorMade BRNR Mini (13.5 degrees, with 13 degrees of actual loft)
Shaft: Fujikura Ventus TR Blue 7X (tipped 1 inch)
Length: 44 inches
Weights: 13g back 5g front
Swingweight: D3
Launch Conditions: 11 degrees at 2800 spin, 282 carry, 305 total, 173 ball speed

“The BRNR Mini driver went into the bag for Adam this week because of the golf course and the distance gap between his driver and 4-wood,” said Adrian Rietveld, TaylorMade Senior Tour Manager, according to TaylorMade. “At Muirfield, drivers run out and the gapping with his 4-wood left him too far behind. As he told us during testing, with BRNR Mini, he can play the golf course instead of the golf course playing him.”

The Adam Scott equipment-centric weekly reality show continues on, and it’s appointment television at this point. Check out what the GolfWRX Forum members are saying about Scott’s latest switches in our forums.
