G-Shock x Alife Special





A special version of the ALIFE collaboration G-5500AL-1 G-Shock we saw this summer is now going on sale. Only 200 pieces of this limited edition will be available. The price is $99 USD, which seems unusually reasonable. Go ahead and order now at the link below. This watch has a nice look with the negative display and custom graphics on the band. And it comes in special special packaging and ALIFE tin. The bright yellow lighting bolt design is something that really stands out and sets it apart from the other version.

G-Shock x New Bathing Ape

Here's a sneak preview of the new Bape DW-6900 G-Shock that will be coming out in the future. There's not much in the way of details, but this stealthy DW-6900MS-based watch will probably be priced around $250 USD. The "Casio" text on the face has been replaced with the Bape logo. It's hard to tell if the other custom details will be worth the much higher price, but there's not going to be many of these limited editions released. Stay tuned for more details on this release.

G-Shock x Huffer


The New Zealand HUFFER brand has a new collaboration G-Shock based on the DW-5600MS-1. This watch has been customized with the text "Chill It" and "Kill It", along with the brand's signature three dot logo. You'll have to decide for yourself if these custom details are worth it for you

G-Shock x Simon De Pury

His new exhibition PURYPARISGRAPHY will be on display from January 3-29 at the colette boutique store in France. The G-Shocks will go on sale January 19th. Only 20 pieces will be produced and the packaging features photographs by Simon de Pury. It's hard to say what these watches have to offer in the way of custom features. There doesn't seem to much in the way of photos or details. These don't seem to be aimed at the usual G-Shock collectors. But the packaging graphics being spread over four different watches is an interesting touch.

G-Shock x Murakami Red Jelly




Tyko Moon had a look at the new Takashi Murakami GWF-1000TM Frogman that's now here in the US at Bloomingdale's. This is a super expensive super limited edition.

Stevie Williams talks about the DGK skateboard brand and how it works with G-Shock

Some new custom G-Shocks have been created by artists in Milan, Italy for an exhibition titled "Art Shock the Street".

Because of his connections with painting he decided to use a spray paint texture from the DW-6900CB watch. The special packaging for this new DW-6900TK-2ER model looks like paint can.
