Palace Goes Full Throttle on “Bikercore” in Debut Neighbourhood Japan Collab

For the second week of its Autumn 25 campaign, Palace Skateboards has revealed a new collaboration with Neighbourhood.

Palace is taking a slightly different approach in its latest example of Anglo-Japanese synergy, straying from the heritage-steeped paths it previously travelled with brands like Beams Plus, Engineered Garments, and Porter Yoshida, instead presenting a more contemporary vision of the streetwear playbook, assisted by industry OG Neighbourhood Japan.

Established in the epicentre of Japan’s ground-level culture, Harajuku, Tokyo, Neighbourhood is regarded amongst brands like BAPE, WTAPS, and Fragment Design as one of the founding pillars of the country’s lauded streetwear landscape.

Driven by the rebellious spirit embedded within the Ura-Hara district — the name given to the back streets of Harajuku that Neighbourhood calls home — founder Shinsuke Takizawa has long drawn on punk-adjacent subcultures as the leading inspiration for Neighbourhood’s collections, specifically the inherent necessity for quality gear associated with biker culture.

Palace and Neighbourhood’s shared love for highly referential, wearable fare comes alive across a focused assortment of workshop-ready items — playing with heavy leathers, quality cottons, and workwear-rooted fabrics like denim, canvas, and salt & pepper. The lineup covers biker jackets, a hunting vest and double-knee workwear set, plus selvedge denim jackets and jeans finished with a “savage” pre-patina and standard-issue Palace x Neighbourhood branding.

The same skull-and-bones graphic sandwiched between the brands’ monikers also features on a selection of specially treated tees and hoodies, with more refined signage available on waffle-knit henleys, beanies, and the “one-of-a-kind” steel toolbox that also underlines Neighbourhood’s longstanding mantra of “Crafted with Pride”.

Final tie-ins to the road life come through on the Knitted Moto top, which bears a striped-arm detailing — a defining feature of the post-war biker aesthetic — alongside distressed trucker caps decorated with an “Extra Safe” central patch.

Palace closes the collection by memorialising itself on a staple of Neighbourhood’s brand identity, offering two choices of incense chamber: one with simple co-branding and another moulded in the shape of a 3D Tri-Ferg with Neighbourhood’s skull mascot at the peak.

The Palace x Neighbourhood collection drops this Friday, August 15 at 11:00 AM local time, available via Palace’s online store and physical locations across the globe.
