The New Happy Gilmore 2 Teaser Features Adam Sandler’s Favorite adidas Track Pants
Nearly 30 years after Happy Gilmore became a cult classic, Adam Sandler is bringing back his iconic character for Happy Gilmore 2. The sequel, set to arrive on Netflix, just dropped its first teaser image, and eagle-eyed fans immediately noticed two things: Sandler is once again embracing his signature street-meets-sportswear aesthetic, and Bad Bunny is joining the cast. Most importantly, Sandler is rocking a pair of adidas Adibreak track pants, a style that has become a part of his everyday wardrobe. With adidas’ history of collaborations tied to Happy Gilmore and its connection to Bad Bunny, the Three Stripes may be more involved in the film than it initially appears.
Originally released in 1996, Happy Gilmore follows the story of a failed hockey player who discovers an unorthodox but highly effective golf swing, leading him to challenge the sport’s elite while delivering some of the most quotable moments in comedy history. Over the years, the movie has maintained its cultural relevance, with references appearing across sports and pop culture.
As for the track pants pictured here in the teaser, it's no surprise Sandler chose to rock the adidas Adibreak pants as his love for adidas track pants is well-documented. Whether courtside at NBA games, running errands in LA, or starring in viral paparazzi shots, the actor-comedian is not often seen without a pair of baggy, retro-inspired Three Stripes pants. So when the teaser image for Happy Gilmore 2 dropped, featuring Sandler in a pair of adidas Adibreak track pants, it felt more like a natural extension of his and his character's style rather than a calculated movie wardrobe choice.
However, the presence of adidas apparel in the teaser could signal more than Sandler's preference—it might hint at a more significant brand partnership.
In 2021, adidas collaborated with retailer Extra Butter to release an official Happy Gilmore capsule, which included an Ultraboost 1.0 inspired by Shooter McGavin, golf-ready apparel, and accessories referencing the film’s most memorable moments.
Additionally, one of adidas’ most high-profile collaborators, Bad Bunny, is involved in the sequel, further connecting the Three Stripes to the movie. The Puerto Rican superstar has played a major role in revitalizing adidas’ sneaker lineup, from his Forum collaborations to his upcoming Ballerina sneaker. His presence in Happy Gilmore 2—combined with Sandler’s adidas-heavy wardrobe—suggests that the brand may be positioning itself for a marketing push alongside the film.
If you want to embrace Adam Sandler’s effortless comfort-first aesthetic, we’ve rounded up all the Adibreak adidas track pants available now. Check out the options below and bring Happy Gilmore 2 energy to your wardrobe.
