Men's snapbacks

The history of the men's snapback is rooted firmly on the American baseball pitch. The hat first made an appearance in the 1950s, when it was debuted by the Brooklyn Excelsiors team. The men's snapback has undergone a few changes since its initial design, which originally featured a round crown and a short, flat brim. Adopted in the 1990s by hip-hop groups and celebrities, the men’s snapback soon gained a huge popularity that has remained ever since. The hat’s versatility, not only in the easy size adjustment but choice of angles to wear it at, is partially responsible for its following, but its almost cult status most likely has its roots with the street-style appeal of the designs. In modern days, men’s snapbacks are an absolute fashion essential, and no wardrobe is complete without at least one of these cool hats.

Rain or shine

Men’s snapbacks are designed in a great range of colours and styles by adidas to appeal to all, male and female, young and old. Whether you’re fashion conscious or not, it’s easy to find a cap within the range that not only performs well but also looks great on you. One size really can fit all due to the unique fastening that gives it its name, the adjustable snap at the back of the hat. The men's snapback is a very practical hat which will keep your head dry in the rain and the sun off your head, with the brim protecting the face or neck, depending on which way round you choose to wear it.

Looks aren’t everything

More than just a cool hat design, the men's snapback is also a really great sports hat, so versatile that it has found its place in many sports kits. The cap is suitable for an array of team games including baseball, football, hockey and basketball, and solo athletes can enjoy wearing their men's snapback for tennis, golf, skateboarding, jogging and fishing.
