NIKE AIR MAX LIGHT – VINTAGE PACK
FOR THE HOMIES – STRAIGHT OUTTA COSTANZA
Playing on popular 90’s culture, For The Homies drops their holiday collection “Straight Outta Costanza” into LOADED High St and Broadway. As you might guess by the title, this drop vibes off classic VHS tapes, Wu-Tang, NWA and Seinfeld to provide the inspiration behind the prints. We love the Straight Outta Compton/Seinfeld mix up, but our pick would be the Biggie x Warhol tee – payback really is a bitch.

INTRODUCING 9FIVE EYEWEAR
LOADED welcome 9Five eyewear to the roster and have named them in our starting line up to take on the sun this season. With origins in skateboarding, 9Five have since become the eyewear choice for a number of dope cats and tastemakers outside the skate scene including Lil Wayne, Yelawolf and Freeway. Simple and easy to wear with pricing starting at $119.00, 9Five should your first pick this summer. Available at LOADED High St and Broadway, check below for more about the brand in their own words.
“The concept of 9five started the very same year in which it shares its namesake. Our first product offering however manifested itself in 2009, with the launch of our Summer/Spring Collection. Taking inspiration from a classic era in skateboarding along with the counter culture that supported it, 9five draws vibe and style from the skateboarding obsessed, crate digging niche that thrived during this golden era. Those lucky enough to have been a part will certainly see the parallels in the core of our design, as well as our drive to modernize our influences and look past what’s current.”

INTRODUCING PASS~PORT
In late 2007 PASS~PORT was created. Wanting to stay very clear of anything ever done before, the aim was simple, to bring out two ranges a year that would include skateboards, clothing & other bits & pieces with artwork & ideas created by the brand & its surrounding friends & contributors. At the same time supporting & exposing a community of skateboarders & artist was integral to the brands progression. Originally based in BRISBANE QLD, PASS~PORT production has recently relocated to SYDNEY CITY AUSTRALIA.
Dominating the local skate scene in across the ditch, LOADED is proud to welcome the Aussie import PASS~PORT into stores from tomorrow Saturday 3rd. Get the best from the summer collection including some clean raglans in heather navy and black at only $70.00. Printed tees are bangin at $65.00 and the socks a must at $35.00 for 5 pairs. All aboard.
413 EDITION – SUPRA SKYTOP III “STEALTH”

The speckled charcoal midsole breaks it up visually with some tidy little extras like the night vision insole and stealth bomber hang tag. With all 413 Edition releases, the Skytop III “stealth” is limited to 413 pairs worldwide, with each pair numbered individually 1 – 413 inside.

Update your style and get into some colour – $149.00 at LOADED High Street and Broadway.
NIKE HUARACHE QUICKSTRIKE
Nike have taken the best of its modern tech and mashed perfectly to an old classic in our most recent drop of Nike Quick Strike. The Nike Huarache is a 90’s running legend famed for its comfortable sock liner construction and unique silhouette. With the addition of the Free outsole Nike have updated the look and possibly made the Huarache Free updates even more comfortable than the original. We have landed a size run each of the Huarache Free running and Huarache Free basketball models which are firing up the bellies of sneaker heads around town.
Available in limited numbers at out High Street store only, both models are a steal at $180.00.
