Ping Collabs with Atlanta fashion house Hideoki
An upscale golf apparel and accessory collection
A partnership between two seemingly different worlds has taken shape. Ping, the American-founded golf equipment company, and Hideoki Bespoke, an Atlanta-based atelier renowned for its modern sophistication, have joined forces to create a collection that blurs the lines between sportswear and high fashion.

This collection, aptly named "The 19th Collection," transcends conventional golf attire and is carefully curated, speaking to both connoisseurs of style and golf. The price range reflects the exclusivity of the collection, with items ranging from $65 for limited edition designer socks to $2,195 for a duffle bag adorned with putter-inspired geometric detailing. The materials employed are high quality, featuring cashmere, silk, leather, and wool, lending an air of luxury to each piece.
While Ping is renowned for its golf equipment, it is not often associated with high fashion. This partnership with Hideoki has provided a blank canvas for the creative designers to explore ideas.
Both Ping and Hideoki share a dedication to precision, excellence, and a passion for sports and design. Beyond fashion, their collaboration addresses broader issues, including inequity, accessibility, and systemic racism. The partnership includes a substantial commitment of $1 million to Texas Southern University, a Historically Black College and University (HBCU), and a pledge to confront racial injustice and promote diversity through various initiatives.
The collection's design philosophy effortlessly blends nostalgia with contemporary minimalism, technology, and urban coolness. Think silk foulard scarves, patterned glass whiskey glasses, structured field jackets, and knit wool polos, all paying homage to the timeless elegance of golf attire. Yet, modernity shines through with black crewneck sweaters embellished with pastel geometric designs, beanies featuring typography inspired by skate culture, and cashmere hoodies adorned with subtle graffiti-inspired accents.
The collaboration between Ping and Hideoki Bespoke transcends the boundaries of fashion and sport. It represents a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, while also addressing the larger issues of societal equity and diversity.
