Gold Jacket, Green Jacket — Who gives a shit? Extra Butter does, it seems, with a special-edition collaboration with adidas honoring the 25th anniversary of Adam Sandler’s revered underdog classic Happy Gilmore.
A fitting tribute to the story’s crux, the coveted Tour Championship “Gold Jacket” — a prize in which rival and bonafide asshole Shooter McGavin believes is his birthright. As such, this adidas Ultra BOOST adorns the mustard-gold hues from toe to tail, letting up only at the midfoot caging and midsole which arrive in a pure golf ball white. Suede caps at the heel and toe arrive in a tonal gold finish, the latter finished with Shooter’s signature pistol pump. Grass green insoles arrive co-branded to complete a design worthy of a Happy Gilmore bull dance.

Update 06.17.21 Extra Butter has officially unveiled their 25th Anniversary Happy Gilmore collection featuring none other than Shooter himself, Christopher McDonald. alongside the previously-previewed Ultra BOOST, there is a bevy of matching apparel themed from the movie plot, golf shoes, slide, and golden golf balls — and yes, even a Golden Jacket that Shooter finally got his hands on.A release for the collection has been set for June 25th, with items releasing at Extra Butter in-store, online, and through their app.
