We are proud to announce that Eastside Golf has been selected to The Foremost 50 list of 2025, an esteemed recognition of breakout challenger brands redefining the future of fashion, retail and consumer industries. This annual power list, curated by The Lead, celebrates brands that are not just evolving but revolutionizing their industries through innovation, bold vision and a commitment to creating new value for the audiences they serve.
This is a monumental achievement for Eastside Golf, buoyed by the brand's efforts to challenge the traditional narratives of golf fashion and culture. Since its inception, Eastside’s mission has been to break down barriers in golf, making it more accessible and inclusive.
“This honor affirms that our unique approach resonates not only with our community but also with business leaders who recognize the impact we're making,” says co-founder and CEO Earl Cooper (pictured below, right). “It is both humbling and exhilarating. It’s a testament to the hard work, passion and creativity that drive Eastside Golf. While we are incredibly proud of this recognition, we also understand that this is just the beginning. Our vision is far-reaching, and awards like this are signs that we are on the right path.”
Adds his fellow Co-Founder and Creative Director, Olajuwon Ajanaku:
“We know there is a lot more work to be done as we continue to grow and strive to hit the goals we've set for ourselves and our community. The Foremost 50 recognition fuels our commitment to innovate and expand. As we celebrate this achievement, we remain focused on our future.”
In the coming weeks, Eastside Golf will be participating in The Foremost 50 Forum on February 6, 2025, where fellow honorees and business leaders will explore the future of fashion and consumer innovation. This platform offers an invaluable opportunity to connect, learn and continue pushing the boundaries of what Eastside Golf can achieve.
The team at Eastside Golf extends its heartfelt thanks to the community, customers and partners who have supported them every step of the way. Your belief in the vision drives the brand to keep moving forward.
“This recognition is a collective win,” says Cooper. “And we are excited to share this journey with you as we continue to innovate and redefine golf fashion.”
