The Malbon x NEIGHBORHOOD Volume 2 collection, released on May 22, 2025, is available exclusively online at malbon.com, with prices ranging from $30 for golf balls to $400 for the Performance Golf Bag. Building on their 2024 collaboration, this second installment merges NEIGHBORHOOD’s Harajuku streetwear roots, founded by Shinsuke Takizawa, with Malbon’s progressive golf aesthetic. Key items include the Performance Golf Bag, made from 100% nylon rip-stop with co-branded logos, the long-sleeve Mockneck in a breathable cotton blend, and the Course Camo Polo, crafted from moisture-wicking polyester with a tiger camo print. Accessories like the Bucket Hat ($40) and Glove ($15) feature lightweight materials and bold NEIGHBORHOOD patches.
The collection is designed for both on-course performance and off-course lifestyle appeal, targeting golfers who reject traditional golf attire. The golf bag offers durable, water-resistant storage with multiple pockets, while the Mockneck provides a structured fit for layering and mobility during swings. The Camo Polo’s technical fabric ensures breathability and comfort, ideal for warm rounds, and the glove enhances grip with a premium leather palm and graphic detailing. The campaign, shot in Los Angeles with dirt bikes, underscores the collection’s rebellious vibe, aligning with Malbon’s ambassadors like Jason Day and Charley Hull.
Stock is limited, and high demand—evidenced by the first collaboration’s quick sellout and social media buzz on X—suggests rapid sales, especially with the spring golf season in full swing. The collection’s sizing spans S-XXL for apparel, with the bucket hat and glove in one-size-fits-most, ensuring accessibility. Free U.S. shipping applies on orders over $250, with a 30-day return policy for unused items. Malbon’s focus on blending technical detail with street culture continues to redefine golf fashion, making this drop a standout for style-conscious players.
