Tyler The Creator‘s Golf Wang store is expanding for the holidays. Beginning on December 2 and continuing until December 24, fans in cities around the world will be able to purchase pieces from the brand’s Fall/Winter 2023 collection, along with Golf Wang’s essentials, Tyler’s new Converse collaboration, and the rapper’s catalog on vinyl.

The cities and full collections will be available on golfwang.com tomorrow, Thursday, November 30, but what can you expect to see on the site? Here’s what we know about the items that will be for sale on Golf Wang’s Golf Holiday shops.

While the items themselves remain kind of a mystery for now, we can look to the Golf Wang lookbook to see what the collection contains.

There’s also Tyler’s twist on the Converse Chuck 70, which the brand advertised with a quick trailer, which you can check out below:

You can also grab the Golf Essentials collection, which includes three colors of puffer jackets, sweats, T-shirts, shorts, caps, beanies, socks, bags, and slides.

There are also mystery boxes for sale on the website, with pieces picked at random.

The holiday shops will take place at the permanent store locations in Los Angeles, New York, and London, with additional stores popping up in Amsterdam, Atlanta, Austin, the Bay Area, Berlin, Chicago, Hong Kong, Phoenix, Seoul, Tokyo, and Washington, DC.

Golf Wang Revealed The Locations And Dates For Their 2023 Golf Holiday Shops

Tyler The Creator really cooked when he came up with the alternative moniker “Wolf Gang” for Odd Future back in the last decade. From that collection of eight letters, he’s derived many of his most famous imprints, including Camp Flog Gnaw and Golf (short for Golf Wang), his fan-favorite clothing brand/store on Fairfax in LA. With the former in the rearview for the year, it looks like Tyler’s turning his attention to the latter for the holidays and going big in the process.

On December 2, Golf will launch 12 holiday gift shops with new, temporary locations in cities around the globe offering pieces from the brand’s Fall/Winter collection, as well as another collaboration between Tyler and Converse. Of course, the stores will also carry Tyler’s music catalog on vinyl along with mainstays from the essentials collection (puffer coats, hoodies, crew neck sweatshirts and sweat pants, T-shirts, shorts, caps, beanies, socks, shopping bags, and slide sandals).

The stores will run from December 2 to December 24 in Atlanta, Austin, the Bay Area, Chicago, Phoenix, Washington DC, Amsterdam, Berlin, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, and Melbourne, along with the permanent locations in LA, New York, and London.

Tyler, The Creator Performs Unreleased Fan Favorite “Penny”

by

Tyler The Creator’s fans have been eating well the last few years, and they’re showing their love by helping him reach new heights. Tyler’s latest album, Call Me If You Get Lost, recently achieved a historic milestone. The rapper has made history as the first artist ever to have a number 1 album on the Top R&B and Hip-Hop Albums chart for three consecutive years. The album reached No.1 on the Billboard chart in 2021, 2022, and 2023, with the recent expansion, The Estate Sale, further propelling Tyler’s success. In addition, Call Me If You Get Lost was the best-selling hip-hop vinyl album worldwide in 2022. As an artist who consistently challenges conventional music standards and redefines success on his own terms, it’s great to see Tyler succeed.

Last month, Tyler made an appearance on RapCaviar Presents, a Hulu series. On it, he talked about why he loved being a rapper. “I’m a rapper. I love that shit. It’s a beautiful thing,” he said. “We’re good with words. We’re good with rhythm. We know pockets. We hear a collection of sounds and one thing and say, ‘Ahh, I know what could go over this.’ That takes skill.” Tyler has been praised by many in the industry for his talents, so it’s clear he knows what he’s talking about. He went on to talk about how rap is a way to connect with people. “I know how to put those [feelings] in words where you can understand yourself better. You got some young kid, like 13, thinking, ‘Oh, I gotta make bravado rap…’ No, you don’t. You could flex about the shit that you truly hold dear and make it seem like the most important sh*t. When I’m flexing on these songs, [it’s] just about the sh*t that I really like.”

Tyler Gives Back To Fans

Tyler is being very generous with his fans. He usually is, but this time it comes in the form of playing unreleased music. During a performance at El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles on April 26, he performed a special rendition of “Penny.” The track was recorded during the sessions for his album Call Me If You Get Lost. The song originally surfaced online in February and quickly gained popularity among fans. Tyler revealed before the performance that he wrote the song around Christmas of 2019, making it one of the first tracks he created for the album. Although “Penny” was never officially released, a clip of the song leaked and went viral on TikTok. Despite the unauthorized leak, Tyler seems to have a good attitude toward the situation.

Before Tyler launched into a performance of the song, he joked about it. “I’m gonna do this random song that no one in here has heard,” he said, pretending not to know about the leak. He also revealed during the performance that the song is his bodyguard’s favorite. As such, he included it on the setlist as a gift to him. What do you think about “Penny”? Let us know in the comments!

Tyler, The Creator Unveils New Single “Sorry Not Sorry”

by

Tyler, The Creator remains unapologetic as ever on his latest offering. The rapper announced Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale with the release of “Dogtooth.” Now, the Odd Future star is back with a second single from the project titled, “Sorry Not Sorry.” Once again, the California artist delivers a set of visuals that capture the song’s essence, as well as his evolution since Bastard. Tyler The Creator puts together this luscious combination of warm guitar progressions and soulful background vocals with an orchestral touch. The production serves as an excellent soundscape for his confessional of sorts. He addresses the changes in his personal and professional life.

Throughout the record, Tyler details how he’s come to terms with how relationships have shifted since his fame. While he continues to evolve, he also addresses fans who jumped off the bandwagon since his commercial success post-Wolf. “Sorry to the fans who say I changed,” Tyler The Creator gently raps before contorting his vocals with a menacing growl. He continues, “‘Cause I did/ You don’t know me on a personal level to pinpoint what it is.” His range is the cornerstone of the duality he explores as if his conscious and subconscious are tearing him apart.

Tyler, The Creator Releasing B-Sides On Friday

The rapper hasn’t shared the tracklist for Call Me If You Get Lost: The Estate Sale yet. However, we’re hoping that a few unreleased collaborations might appear in the album. Tyler The Creator joined forces with the likes of NBA Youngboy, Lil Uzi Vert 42 Dugg, and Teezo Touchdown. Additionally, Tyler linked up with Lil Wayne, Domo Genesis, Brent Faiyaz, Daisy World, and more.

Tyler The Creator previously explained that Call Me If You Get Lost became the first album he ever recorded that included an abundance of unreleased music. “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST WAS THE FIRST ALBUM I MADE WITH ALOT OF SONGS THAT DIDNT MAKE THE FINAL CUT. SOME OF THOSE SONGS I REALLY LOVE, AND KNEW THEY WOULD NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY, SO IVE DECIDED TO PUT A FEW OF THEM OUT,” Tyler The Creator said on Twitter. Check out the video for “Sorry Not Sorry” above. 

Quotable Lyrics
Let me see you make a decision I made
And claim that I don’t know about minimum wage or Section 8, water in the ketchup bottle to stretch when n***as ate
Gettin’ pressed by n***as hoppin’ gates
Thinkin’ it’s normal ’cause you ain’t supposed to make it past 18 or escape the Figure 8 cycle

Tyler The Creator’s Golf Wang 2022 Collection Is Bringing Back The Baggy Look

It’s often said that fashion goes in cycles that come back around every twenty years or so. With this knowledge, I regret to inform all you millennials out there that you are now old. If it makes you feel any better, you can call it “retro,” which is what we did when we were bringing back bellbottoms and platform shoes and trying really hard to embrace punk aesthetics. Now, it’s our turn, as the baggy look is back and the teens are now running around looking like extras from She’s All That.

Leading the charge, as usual, is Tyler The Creator, who is pretty much the trendsetter for anyone who entered middle school around the time Odd Future was upending hip-hop’s cultural conventions and making Theresa May really nervous they might turn over the tea cart if they gained access to Old Blighty. Tyler’s brand, Golf Wang, has been one of the go-to looks for the legions of fans who used to scribble “Kill Them All” in their notebooks, terrifying teachers and conservative commentators throughout the 2010s.

Today, he revealed the lookbook for the latest summer collection, which consists of a variety of wide-leg, loose-fits, colorful sweaters, woven shirts, and jeans with biohazard symbols all over them. I guess Tyler hasn’t grown all the way up just yet — and he never should. You can check out some of the fits below, with more on the official website. They go live on June 18 at noon ET. You can grab them in-store at 11 am PT.

Tyler The Creator Gives Fans The Chance To Customize His Golf Wang Converse Chucks

Tyler The Creator’s ongoing partnership with Converse has proven uniquely fruitful. Not only have Golf Wang Converse sneakers been a cool treat for fans for the past few years, reflecting Tyler’s long-established love for the skater-favorite brand, but he’s come up with some pretty neat projects as a result, such as last year’s hilarious, Tyler-directed “Really Cool Converse Club” commercial. The latest is a new sneaker model that fans can customize with 100,000 options, the Golf Wang x Converse Chuck 70. The brand announced the collaboration via a few social media posts showing off some of the possible combinations.

The Golf Wang By You project includes a bunch of side decals of Golf Wang and Tyler The Creator logos and color options. Quantities are limited so I suggest clicking this link as soon as you can.

During a recent Converse All-Star series talk in March, Tyler discussed his affinity for the brand but also revealed his disdain for a different trend. “What the f*ck is a NFT?” he wondered to the audience’s amusement. “I paint at home, I play instruments. … I have a friend who’s making me speakers by hand right now. What the f*ck is a NFT? None of the examples I’ve seen is, like, beautiful art. It’s a f*cking monkey in a Supreme hoodie.”

Tyler The Creator Launches A New Golf Le Fleur Fragrance Called ‘French Waltz’

by

Salut, mon ami! Tyler The Creator’s Golf Le Fleur line has been bubbling up for years now. What began in 2017 as a limited edition set of Converse Chuck Taylors in colors like Jolly Green, Solar Power, and Vanilla in the first wave, and Greener Pastures, Limoges, and Rhubarb in the second wave, the vision was to tie together different subcultures. “I wanted to put them in one place, that was important to me,” Tyler said in a release earlier this year. Now the collection has been developing into something deeper beyond just kicks.

Today, Tyler and Golf Le Fleur have announced the first fragrance in the collection, dubbed “French Waltz.” It’s described as a “rose-musk fragrance for everyone,” and is crafted by CPL Aromas, the largest fragrance-only fragrance house in the world. A look under the hood of French Waltz shows that it boasts an incredibly layered scent. It has a musk and sandalwood base, with top notes of mandarin, nashi pear, lychee, and magnolia, and mimosa, jasmine, rose and muguet as its the heart. It slots well with Golf Le Fleur’s mission of creating “a whimsical world that reflects the ideas of curiosity, color harmony, and opulence……le FLEUR* is by and for the sun seekers.”

French Waltz is a limited release in 100mL and 50mL sizes, starting December 13 at 11 a.m. ET here. Watch the vert artsy launch film above and check out pictures of the bottle and the display box below.
