G-SHOCK & Converse Come Together For A Truly Timeless Black Sneaker
By Nicole Rodrigues, 04 Oct 2023
G-SHOCK continues to celebrate its 40th anniversary, and this time in style. After a series of collaborations this year with Coca-Cola, NASA, League of Legends, and more, the watchmaker is now stepping into the spotlight with a fresh new pair of all-black kicks courtesy of Converse Japan.
The shoe comes in the Converse’s iconic high-top silhouette with an upper crafted from water-repellent Cordura fabric, adding a utilitarian touch to the aesthetics.
Fans of G-SHOCK will appreciate the subtle references to the brand. The white ‘PROTECTION’ text at the toe and G-SHOCK elements on the tongue tag, sock liner, and shoe box serve as authentic reminders of this partnership.
In honor of G-SHOCK’s anniversary, the medial badge of the shoe proudly displays a white G-SHOCK font.
The branding remains understated, with tonal All-Star logos gracing the heel of the midsole—a fusion of classic and contemporary.
Mark your calendars for October 24, when the G-SHOCK x Converse Japan All-Stars will be available through Converse Japan, priced at JPY¥17,600 (US$118).
