In Store now….
We have just picked up a new brand for the girls, MOTEL. Hailing from the UK this is the latest brand to hit our store and judging by all the girls reactions when we opened the box this morning IT WILL NOT LAST LONG! Motel was born after the two designers went on a trip to the west coast of America and spent days rifling through the thrift stores in the 90’s. After coming home, they wanted to create a label that held the same excitement of those ideal days of rummaging. So they created Motel, influenced by vintage but with a modern twist. We just recieved a whole bunch of cute dresses, skirts, tees and more. Click here to see pics or come in to see the WHOLE range.

THIS WEEKEND @ San Francisco Bathhouse
This is the one party i would seriously recommend driving to wellington for (i totally would if i knew how to drive) …..Being the silly season and all the Fried Chicken Sound System thought it would be a grand old opportunity to get silly (not that we really need much of an excuse). So join them and a few of their mates as they run through their favourite tunes of the year and get extremely buck wild in true FC fashion to celebrate the season. Lazers, booze and the biggest party tunes of 2008. PLUS free xmas treats from WESC, IKO IKO, and GOOD AS GOLD under the tree!

Anniversary Edition
On September 18th 1978 all 4 members of iconic rock band Kiss released their solo albums and Vans launched the iconic sk8 high. Now 30 years later they come together to celebrate both anniversaries in the best possible way – The Vans x Kiss Sk8 Hi. The release of those 4 albums was the first and only time that a band has released solo albums on the same day. The covers of those albums – where each member is naturally in full faced makeup, is the design on the new sk8 shoe! Clever!

We are pleased to announce we are now one step further toward world domination in announcing the upcoming arrival of Adidas Originals top tier collection – Adidas Consortium.
The Adidas consortium series is stocked in only the finest sneaker spots globally and with only 50 partners worldwide and none so far in Australasia it’s an exciting opportunity that puts NZ & Loaded on the map as leaders in the sneaker game.
Famed for their recent A-ZX project as well as numerous other rare releases, Adidas Consortium is a top image collection made for, and occasionally with, their top retailers around the world.
The first of the Q1 collection arrives in store early January in extremely limited quantities. Stay tuned for a release party and cross your fingers for a Loaded Adidas collab shoe one of these days soon!!
