Olympic Valley, Calif. – July 23, 2024 – Arcade (https://arcadebelts.com), a brand founded on the belief that belts could be designed to function better, last longer, and be more comfortable, today launches a new collection with National Geographic. 

Based on the idea that everyone should live for the freedom to explore, the collaboration with the National Geographic brand represents the wide open space and curiosity to explore the world. Combining Arcade’s original performance engineering and progressive design with National Geographic’s iconic yellow portal, the new belts celebrate the pinnacle of adventure, travel, and a life lived through rich experiences. Each of the three belts in the new Arcade | National Geographic collection is designed with the goal to create a connection with the countless inspirational stories told and adventures yet to be written. 

“It is an absolute honor to introduce the Arcade | National Geographic collection,” said Kevin Walker, Director of Marketing, Arcade. “Our core as a brand is about living experiences through travel, community and adventure, and we’re thrilled that our latest  collaboration is with a brand that has inspired millions and millions of people to seek adventure by exploring the world.” 

The three new belts are the National Geographic Topo, featuring black with yellow trim, Arcade’s A2 buckle, and the National Geographic and Arcade logos; National Geographic Collective, an eye-catching belt in National Geographic’s signature yellow with logos and A2 buckle; and National Geographic 1888 (the year of the first edition of National Geographic magazine), a black belt with a globe printed on a larger buckle, the yellow portal and National Geographic-inspired trim.
