AW09 Preview - The Heritage Range!

Here is another sneak peak at the upcoming King Autumn/Winter 2009 collection - this time we are showing you the Heritage™ Range. Taking street style to the next level, the Heritage™ combines the finest patterns and construction with striking typography to deliver the most refined range in the collection. A maroon fitted cap with matching diamond quilted hoodie. Our first nylon canvas Parka jacket with faux fur hood. Hook up 13oz denim and some of the cleanest t-shirt designs we’ve produced, all alongside our technical 5-gauge heavyweight knit, adds up to an absolute winner in all senses of the word.

Attack! Attack!

We’ve been on an undercover mission for the last year to add another dimension to our team of affiliates and represent the other scenes and types of music that both ourselves and King fans are into. Having kept our ear to the ground and fought our way through a ton of moshes we found ourselves particularly stoked on these guys – Attack! Attack! Hailing from Wales, they are the next big thing to break through on the rock/punk scene in the UK and both their live performances and debut album are testament to this. They have been nominated for Best British Newcomer at the this years Kerrang awards and came down to the King store this week to get kitted out for their forthcoming summer tour and Front magazine photoshoot. Expect some more collaborations on the King – Attack! Attack! Tip in the future and check out the band on their myspace page...
