NEIGHBORHOOD and AIRBUGGY turn pet stroller into reflective streetwear gear
NEIGHBORHOOD made a pet stroller look like tactical gear, wrapping AIRBUGGY’s Dome3 large frame in reflective ripstop, water resistance, and blacked-out utility.
NEIGHBORHOOD has a way of making the ordinary look ready for a mission, and the NH X AIRBUGGY . DOME3 LARGE SET was no exception. The Harajuku label, founded in 1994, took AIRBUGGY’s pet stroller and pushed it into streetwear territory with an original reflective ripstop fabric that reads less like a pet accessory and more like a piece of hard-use city kit.
The key move is in the material. NEIGHBORHOOD built the stroller around reflective ripstop with reflector yarn, a water-repellent surface finish, and a polyurethane/PVC-coated reverse side for durability, water resistance, and safety. That gives the whole thing a useful, almost industrial finish, the kind of spec sheet that makes sense in a label obsessed with function. In black, priced at ¥99,000 in Japan, it lands as a serious flex item, not a novelty stroller for people who want their dog to look cute in transit.
AIRBUGGY’s hardware is still doing the heavy lifting underneath the collab’s visual overhaul. The Dome3 large-size frame keeps the brand’s three-wheel structure and 23 cm air tires, with a 180-degree open-air roof and a large interior built for pets up to 20 kg. AIRBUGGY has long sold its Dome series as a city machine, designed for navigating tight streets and turning 360 degrees with ease, and that language meshes cleanly with NEIGHBORHOOD’s utilitarian instincts. The result feels less like licensed merch and more like two brands speaking the same material language.
The collaboration was announced as part of NEIGHBORHOOD’s SS26 May release slate and marked the first joint item between NEIGHBORHOOD and AIRBUGGY PET. AIRBUGGY positions itself as a made-in-Japan pet-stroller brand, and its collaboration page listed official purchase points through NEIGHBORHOOD’s direct stores, online store, and authorized retailers, with Japan-only delivery restrictions noted on the product page. For a category that usually leans soft, playful, and disposable, this one had actual presence. NEIGHBORHOOD did not just dress up a stroller. It made pet transport look like gear you’d want to be seen pushing.
