Culture lovers get to LOADED now for Acclaim Magazine issue #22 ‘Renegade’. The Australian mag has stretched its arms and reports on global trends and events that are happening within the scene. Make sure you get in store to pick a copy (with exclusive alternative cover) up for your holiday reading needs. Check the press release below:
Within the pages of the magazine you’ll find many inspiring stories from brands, individuals, businesses and partnerships, the world over, who have gone against the odds to create a name for themselves and their craft. While it’s easy to be successful when you are following a tried and tested formula, with the backing of someone who has done it all before and with the money to support it, here at ACCLAIM we have real respect for those that go it alone and create their own success stories with the resources at hand.
In signature ACCLAIM East-meets-West style, the issue also features an alternative cover displaying one of the many distinct camouflage yardages of English brand maharishi. This alternative cover issue will be available exclusively through Australian/New Zealand boutiques.
G-Shock have made massive inroads into the street wear consciousness lately, especially on the local scene with an epic Shock The World party being held in Auckland not too long ago. No doubt the success of that party made G-shock the watch maker of choice for all those who attended. If you don’t own one yet, the time is now. With Christmas in mind, take a look at a showcase of the more recent G-shocks to roll through the LOADED doors – including the famed G-001 model dubbed “Jason” for its dimpled resemblance to an ice hockey mask. Click for more. See you in store.
