Actor Luke Wilson designs golf products for PUMA
Published: Last updated:
It seems an unusual fit but actor Luke Wilson has become a golf apparel designer! One of Hollywood’s top golfers, Wilson is best known for his recent roles in films such as 3.10 To Yuma and Blades of Glory.
Luke, who recently was named in the top 40 Hollywood golfers by magazine Golf Digest, has teamed up with Swedish golfer Johan Edfors to create a line of golf products for athletic wear giant PUMA. He, according to news media, was inspired by the more sophisticated sportswear styles of the 1950s for his design selections.
“To work with a brand like Puma on a golf line that fits my style and personality has been a real pleasure,” Luke commented on his partnership with PUMA. “We had some real fun with some of the product designs including the C-hopper shoe that you can wear on or off the course by just removing the spikes.”
Luke and Johan announced the partnership at Puma’s design studio in New York. Both of them, according to pumatalk.com, “provided creative input to the line, including highlights such as chrome details, higher-end Merino wool materials and personal color combinations and selections.”
Still according to the site, “Wilson’s selections included darker blues and blacks for a more casual, laid-back approach while Edfors selected brighter color palates with vibrant green and flouro pink for a more in-your-face color explosion. The special editions from Wilson and Edfors will also be complemented by a unique collection for the women’s golf line, including a special silk and jersey polo shirt and knit top.”
The special edition products are slated to launch in two phases globally in April and July. For more info visit www.golf.puma.com/
