As the Paris Summer Olympics draws closer, Golf has become one of the country's most popular and fastest-growing sports.  Now that golf is more accessible than in years past, two out of every three golfers on a given course say they begin playing the sport with an off-course experience. 

To capitalize on the sport’s momentum and to attract new players to the game, Reebok has announced a new shoe collaboration with Whim Golf, a luxury golf apparel brand and design studio, that gives a fresh take on the brand’s iconic Classic Leather silhouette.

Retailing for $130, the mission of the Whim Golf x Reebok Classic Leather is “to release golf from its stuffy, members-only vibe.” with a smooth, standout upper that combines leather and suede for its signature, one-of-a-kind look.
