Well, strap on your spikes and grab your loudest visor, you divot-digging dandies—Malbon Golf’s teamed up with Futura Laboratories to drop a collection so vibrant it’d make Augusta’s azaleas look like wallflowers, and I’m more jazzed than a caddie with a tip jar at a pro-am! Launched April 9, 2025, this $30-$300 art-infused golf kit—think hoodies, tees, and Augusta-mapped pants—blends street swagger with fairway finesse, all available now on malbongolf.com. I’ve been shanking balls since my swing was more bogey than birdie, so let’s spray-paint this collab and see if it’s my hole-in-one—or just a colorful slice into the gallery!

The Malbon Golf x Futura Laboratories collaboration, announced on April 9, 2025, is a fusion of golf apparel and street art, rooted in a 20-year friendship between Malbon co-founder Stephen Malbon and artist Futura. The collection, priced between $30 for accessories like ball markers and $300 for premium outerwear, includes windbreakers, hoodies, quarter-zips, tees, pants, gloves, caps, bucket hats, golf balls, putters, club covers, and bags. It’s available online at malbongolf.com and in select Malbon stores, with ambassadors like Jason Day showcasing pieces during the Masters Tournament, April 10-13, 2025.
Key items include the Malbon x Futura Tag Hooded Sweatshirt, crafted from a cotton-poly blend for comfort, featuring Futura’s iconic graffiti-style font across the chest, and the Augusta Pant, a nylon-spandex blend with an all-over print of Futura Laboratories Golf Division graphics and a map of Augusta National Golf Club. The color palette leans into greens, blacks, and blues, with select quarter-zips in minimalist white or black showcasing sleeve branding, while accessories like golf balls and putters carry Futura’s signature kinetic linework. The collection emphasizes technical fabrics for performance—breathable for warm rounds, durable for wear—while maintaining a bold aesthetic suited for both course and casual settings.
Malbon’s progressive golfwear ethos merges with Futura’s abstract art, creating pieces that balance functionality with cultural edge. The pants and windbreakers offer stretch and weather resistance, ideal for active play, while the putter and golf balls match Tour-level specs, with the balls featuring a urethane cover for spin control. Limited in quantity, the drop aligns with Malbon’s history of quick-selling collabs, like their New Balance and Curb Your Enthusiasm lines, and targets golfers and art fans eager to stand out.
