Casio G-SHOCK Partners With SUPRA On Second Collaboration Release

DOVER, N.J., July 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In commemoration of their second collaborative launch, esteemed watchmakers Casio G-SHOCK and leading footwear brand SUPRA design two custom timepieces and two high top silhouette sneakers for the SUPRA x G-SHOCK and SUPRA x G-SHOCK S Series line respectively. The partnership emphasizes on the innovative technical features, functionality and stylish components available in both G-SHOCK and SUPRA products.

The limited edition G-SHOCK x SUPRA GDX6900SP-1 timepiece includes a 360 polka dot patterned design on a matte black bezel standard with Shock Resistance, 200M Water Resistance, 1/100^th Sec Stopwatch, 12/24 Formats, Mute Option and World Time. Added features to the GDX6900SP-1 model are a Multi-Home Time 4 option and Auto LED Super Illuminator and 10 - year battery all wrapped up in a formidable 53.9mm case size.

The inspiration for the black G-SHOCK x SUPRA sneaker stems from professional skateboarder Stevie Williams' signature Estaban SUPRA model. The sneaker constructed from a combination of black leather with tonal polka dots, silver metallic leather, and black canvas offers exceptional comfort courtesy of an amply padded interior of black mesh and a white midsole constructed from lightweight SUPRAFOAM. To maintain the fast-paced athletic lifestyle, traction and added impact protection is ensured by a white rubber outsole and translucent heel pod.

Parallel to the GDX6900SP-1 for men is the GMDS6900SP-7 G-SHOCK x SUPRA timepiece for women – released through the G-SHOCK S Series line. The white timepiece includes a 360 polka dot patterned design, 200M water resistance, shock resistance, 2 Multi Alarm + 1SNZ and World Time (29TZ/48 Cities and 12/24 Hr Formats).

The women's Cuttler G-SHOCK x SUPRA sneaker - outfitted in a composition of white leather and canvas - is designed with tonal polka dots adorning the upper area of the sneaker while metallic gold zippers provides easy access to the shoe's white padded mesh interior. The base of the shoe is comprised of a white vulcanized sole with tonal foxing and pinstripes – ideal for a comfortably but stylish finish.
