Bringing the hip and urban lifestyle of L.A. and New York to the South is REPUBL1C, the rookie in the streetwear and board sports retail industry. Republ1c grew from one shop in La Fuerza Plaza, Makati a little over a year ago to six (6) branches in strategic locations such as Trinoma Mall & Eastwood in Quezon City, D’mall in Boracay, and Westgate Center in Alabang.
The new store design, a mash up of industrial and glam elements, emulates what the brand is all about: hip, funky, and pumping with adrenaline. The inspiration behind the brand is the skurban fashion that has become all the rage with the youth. Skurban fashion is the fusion of the board sports and the urban cultures.
Loyal republ1cans will be glad to see new and exciting brands such as Married To The Mob, Alien Workshop, Habitat, Fourstar Clothing and Starlet as well as new drops from SUPRA, KR3W, The Hundreds, RVCA, Burton, Altamont, Analog, Girl, Chocolate, and Skullcandy.

The REPUBL1C Movement, was not all about wake and skate – it was a celebration of the REPUBL1C lifestyle, the REPUBL1C way! DJ Dylan hosted the cocktail event with overflowing cocktails and food. Heart-thumping beats from DJ Euric and DJ Julio Sexy kept the republ1cans dancing and grooving well into the wee hours.
