18 Brands like Golf Wang

Where the overlap actually is

Golf Wang's DNA splits three ways: bright colour blocking, cartoon-style graphics, and skate culture. Different brands here deliver different thirds.

For pure colour, Big Bud Press is the closest thing on the list — the Los Angeles label builds rotating drops around saturated solid colours, with unisex zip-front jumpsuits (roughly $150–200) as the signature piece, all made locally and sweatshop-free. Teddy Fresh takes the colourblocking into knitwear: pastel and primary sweaters and hoodies with the teddy bear patch, most pieces between about $25 and $100, sold direct and through Zumiez. Lazy Oaf, founder-led in London since 2001, is the graphic-heavy option — cartoon motifs, slogans and boxy jersey and denim, with a Guinness collaboration out in late 2025.

The skate side

Alltimers and Bronze 56K are both New York, both low-mid priced, and both trade on joke graphics — Alltimers on bar-culture and sports-logo riffs, Bronze on lo-fi 90s internet and public-access TV imagery. RIPNDIP is the most Golf Wang-adjacent of the three: one recurring cartoon character (Lord Nermal) plastered across pocket tees, hoodies, socks and decks, from a Fairfax flagship next door to Supreme. Fucking Awesome and Palace sit a step more serious — collage provocations and Tri-Ferg humour respectively — while Brain Dead pulls from post-punk, underground comics and horror rather than candy colour, and adds fleece, knitwear and workwear to the mix.

Price and heritage

Upper Playground and Kawaii NOLA are the cheapest entries, both built on artist or character graphics under low price tiers. HUF, Pleasures and cool shirtz land low-mid. Mid-tier covers Stüssy, MARKET (the label formerly called Chinatown Market, renamed in 2021, with smiley graphics and tie-dye), ICECREAM, Places+Faces and Supreme, which EssilorLuxottica acquired for $1.5 billion in October 2024. The step up is BAPE and BAPE KIDS (both I.T-owned, med-high) and Coogi, the high-tier Australian knitwear house whose multicoloured sweaters remain the loudest garment on this page.

Fit note: Teddy Fresh and Lazy Oaf run boxy and 80s/90s-cut; Checks Downtown and Adsum are relaxed but more tailored and utilitarian if you want the colour without the cartoons.
