SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 19, 2026 — Gap and Malbon are teaming up for a second collaboration, expanding their partnership with a 35-piece collection that blends heritage-inspired American sportswear with contemporary golf and tennis influences.
Following their first collaboration in 2025, the new collection broadens the offering for both men and women, positioning sport as a lifestyle expression that extends from the course and court to everyday wear. The assortment combines Gap’s classic American aesthetic with Malbon’s playful, golf-driven design perspective.
The collection includes rugby polos, pleated skirts, prep-inspired knitwear, relaxed outerwear and limited-edition golf accessories. The expanded women’s offering is a key element of the latest collaboration, reflecting the brands’ focus on the growing intersection of fashion and sport.
“We’re proud to continue our partnership with Malbon following the strong momentum after our first collaboration,” said Mark Breitbard, President and CEO of Gap Brand. “This collection takes that idea even further, extending the partnership into a broader lifestyle expression for our customers.”
Malbon founders Stephen and Erica Malbon said the second collaboration provided an opportunity to further explore the relationship between fashion and sport, particularly through the expanded women’s assortment.
The accompanying campaign, photographed by Duncan Wolfe, highlights community, individuality and self-expression through a cast of creators and brand friends connected by their interest in sport and style.
The Gap × Malbon collection will launch Aug. 21 at noon ET on gap.com and at 18 Gap stores. It will also be available internationally in Japan, Mexico, China, the Philippines, Australia, the UK and Turkey, as well as through Zalando. Prices will range from $28 to $250.
The launch will be supported by social-first storytelling, creator engagement and community-focused activations across Gap’s channels and Malbon’s global community.
Founded in 2017, Malbon has expanded from a men’s golf apparel label into a broader lifestyle brand offering men’s and women’s apparel, footwear and accessories. The brand is available across the U.S., Korea and the Philippines through e-commerce and selected retailers.
The latest partnership underscores the continued convergence of traditional sportswear, golf fashion and lifestyle apparel, with both brands using the collaboration to extend their reach beyond the golf course and into broader contemporary fashion.
