GOLF (Golf Wang)
Quick history
GOLF Wang was launched in 2011 by Tyler, The Creator as an extension of the Odd Future creative collective. The brand became known for its bright colors, playful graphics, and skate-inspired silhouettes that rejected traditional streetwear seriousness. GOLF helped define a new era of youth fashion built around individuality, irony, and self-expression rather than hype or status.
