Hypegolf List: The Best Collaborations of 2025

Collaborations remain one of golf’s most reliable engines of cultural relevance, but the ones that resonate tend to feel less like collisions and more like handshakes. In 2025, the strongest projects worked because both sides shared a worldview, an audience or at least a point of mutual respect.

That was evident in FootJoy’s debut project with Aimé Leon Dore, whose recent lookbooks increasingly lean into old-money tropes. Sun Day Red’s collaboration with Vessel was another example of two brands that already occupy adjacent territory in their respective lanes. Elsewhere, the familiar heritage-plus-upstart formula continued to deliver, with projects like Reebok x MANORS and Quiet Golf x adidas breathing new life into legacy platforms while giving emerging brands added reach and legitimacy.

Taken together, this year’s collaborations covered a wide spectrum from fashion-forward, to performance-driven, tongue-in-cheek and deeply referential. Our best-of list reflects that same range.

Reebok x MANORS

UK-based MANORS has been on a steady ascent since its brand overhaul in 2024, but until this year had largely kept its focus in-house. That changed with Reebok, as the two teamed up on an expansive yet considered range of apparel and footwear.

The apparel pulled from MANORS’ existing silhouettes like the Shooter Shirt and Course Polo, while the footwear offered the brand a chance to leave its imprint on Reebok classics like the OG Pump and Club C Golf. Strong product aside, the campaign visuals were among the year’s best, polished enough to feel cinematic without losing their authenticity.

After several years of frequent collaborations that stretched the FootJoy universe into adjacent cultures, the heritage brand recalibrated in 2025, narrowing its focus and sharpening its own narrative. Projects with Todd Snyder and Metalwood Studio faded out, making room for a new partner: Aimé Leon Dore.

The pairing felt inevitable. As ALD’s design language has shifted toward a more overtly luxurious register, the collaboration read as a natural extension of FootJoy’s DNA. The release also served as a fitting punctuation mark for ALD’s sequel golf collection which felt more confident and at home within the game.

Quiet Golf x adidas

The Samba has been endlessly reinterpreted, but Quiet Golf’s version managed to feel genuinely distinct. Known for its restrained, anti-flash approach to golf apparel, the Southern California brand gave the silhouette a patent leather treatment that nodded to old-school formality while preserving the Samba’s off-course credibility.

Realtree x PUMA

Camo has become a recurring motif in modern golf. And not just as a marker of military pride, but increasingly as something playful, ironic or self-aware. While indie brands have leaned into that space for years, official Realtree collaborations remain relatively rare.

That’s what made PUMA’s February drop, timed with the Arizona swing, stand out. Whether taken seriously or not, if nothing else it gave us a memorable run of Rickie Fowler memes.

KBS x Walker Golf Things

Golf leaned hard into racing aesthetics again in 2025, but the collaboration between shaft manufacturer KBS and Walker Golf Things rose above the pack. The collection spanned both equipment and apparel, with co-branded shafts alongside standout pieces like the nylon Driving Team Jacket.

Shot on actor Timothy Granaderos, the campaign struck a balance between motorsport adrenaline and golf-world credibility.

NEIGHBORHOOD x Malbon

Continuing the automotive throughline, Malbon returned to the streets of Los Angeles for its second collaboration with Japanese streetwear institution NEIGHBORHOOD. The campaign leaned into motorcycle culture, depicting high-wire protagonists and emphasizing movement, grit and attitude.

The product followed suit. Pieces like the Sun Fade Hoodie and Tactical Vest stood out, with NEIGHBORHOOD’s workwear and military influences woven throughout the collection.

Hypegolf x Oakley

Hypegolf

From our vantage point, the Hypegolf x Oakley collaboration checked every box of what a modern golf partnership should be. With the RadarLock® Path® positioned as the hero, the supporting apparel (t-shirts, polos, hats and quarter-zips) carried an industrial sensibility rendered in muted gunmetal and stone gray.

The t-shirts hit the sweet spot in weight and drape, ideal for late-evening range sessions, while the polos added just enough structure to translate seamlessly onto more traditional courses. More than a capsule, the project was timed to coincide with our Clubhouse NYC activation in SoHo and capped with a launch party that underscored what the collaboration was really about: community and a shared point of view.

Futura Laboratories x Malbon

In 2025, Malbon launched Hand of the Artist, a new initiative spotlighting collaborations with artists across disciplines. Among them, Futura stood as both the most influential and the most surprising.

Few figures have shaped streetwear as profoundly, which made the collaboration’s debut on Jason Day at the Masters all the more unexpected. It was a bold stage for an artist-led project, and a signal that Malbon continues to think seriously about where art, fashion and golf intersect.

Justin Timberlake x Nike

Golf.com

The storytelling behind Justin Timberlake and Nike’s Raggio di Sole collaboration was as thoughtful as the product itself. The guiding question: what if the Victory Tour 4 received the same treatment as Nike’s elite football boots at Montebelluna? It resulted in a shoe worthy of the premise.

Crafted from rich, tumbled leather in warm cappuccino tones, the release was limited to 1,981 pairs in homage to Timberlake’s birth year. Subtle easter eggs rewarded those paying attention, reinforcing that this was a project designed for the sickos.

Sun Day Red x Vessel Golf

On paper, Sun Day Red x Vessel might be the most logical collaboration of the year, and that’s precisely why it works. Both brands are Carlsbad-based, both trade in accessible luxury and both place a premium on construction and materials.

While Vessel has no shortage of collaborations, this one felt especially considered. Details carried the load: the embroidered leaping tiger along the main pocket, contrast stitching on the handle and a leather tag on the valuables pouch.
