G-SHOCK x Clear Camo Collection

Today, Casio announces the release of a new line-up of men’s G-SHOCK models with striking translucent, metal camouflage prints. The new models share the strength and design features of three of G-SHOCK’s most popular silhouettes, the origin G-SHOCK 5600, the DW6900, and GA110, bringing a nostalgic, yet eye-catching new look to these iconic models.

The new transparent camo series arrive in a one-of-a-kind look with a premium, laser-engraved camouflage metal bezel and fully translucent camouflage-printed band. The GM5600SCM-1 features the renowned square case of the original G-SHOCK, while the GM6900SCM-1 and GM110SCM-1A bring superior strength in updated styles with forged metal bezels that accentuate the translucent camouflage pattern.

In addition to this updated look, the latest line-up from G-SHOCK comes with the brand’s most up to date technical capabilities, including an EL backlight to provide enhanced visibility for any time of day, and the GM110SCM-1A boasting magnetic resistant technology.

G-SHOCK released a new watch just this past month. The 360 MAGAZINE announced that “G -SHOCK announces the release of the MTGB1000VL-4A, an all-new, limited-edition to the popular MT-G line up of premium men’s watches. The new model boasts a striking, multi-colored design and rainbow ion-plate bezel that represents volcanic lightning.”

The G-SHOCK watches are revolutionary for the Casio offering “electric shock resistance, gravity resistance, low temperature resistance, vibration resistance, water resistance, shock resistance and toughness,” according to the companies site. The G-SHOCK watch was created by Casio engineer, Kikuo Ibe, in 1981 when he had broken a pocket watch his father had given him.

He then set out to make a watch that could go through stress without breaking. After 200 prototypes, Ibe released the G-SHOCK watch.

Since the creation, multiple models have been released offering something for every one. His watch has truly proved to be indestructible. InsideHook reported that, “Just over two years ago, officials from Guinness World Records drove a 24.97-ton dump truck over a Casio G-SHOCK in order to test the ticker’s claim to be the world’s toughest watch. 

Though the massive truck Guinness used for the test gave the DW5600E-1 model quite a licking, the iconic square-case watch kept on ticking, setting a new world record for the heaviest vehicle to drive over a watch without breaking it.”

Now with a new model of watches being released this October, Casio, G-SHOCK and Ibe are continuing to revolution watches.

The GM110SCM-1A will retail for $230, and the GM5600SCM-1 and GM6900SCM-1 will retail for $210 each. The models will be available this October at select G-SHOCK retailers, G-SHOCK Soho Store, and gshock.com

Federal Agents Move into Multiple US Cities

By Emmet McGeown

On June 29, 4-year old LeGend Taliferro was killed by gunfire in Kansas City, Missouri. He had fallen asleep inside his pillow fort and at around 2am he was murdered in a targeted shooting of his apartment, according to the Kansas City Police Department.

Having been diagnosed with a heart defect shortly after birth, LeGend received his first open-heart surgery at just 4 months old. His mother, Charron Powell, said that her only child “has the heart of a lion” and was always excited to create awareness for conditions similar to his.

As a result of this horrific murder and spiking crime rates in St. Louis Attorney General, William Barr, announced “Operation LeGend” on July 8. This Justice Department initiative has directed agents from the FBI, DEA, ATF, and US Marshals Service to supplement local law enforcement agencies with the aim of cracking down on illegal gun trafficking and aiding ongoing homicide investigations.

In total, 225 federal agents were sent to Kansas City to help the 400 federal agents already located in the metro area. US Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, Tim Garrison, announced on July 31 that 97 arrests have been made by federal and local law enforcement since the launch of Operation LeGend. Five arrests were made for homicide, but other offenses cited were drug trafficking, robbery, and child molestation.

However, this has not been the extent of federal intervention in US cities. In a Fox News phone interview, the President stated “We’ll go into all of the cities, any of them. We’re ready.” Such a statement is emblematic of the President’s desire to make federal policing a key part of his Nixonian “law and order” campaign strategy. Undoubtedly, he is hoping to appeal to suburban voters worried about crime spilling into their neighborhoods from urban centers. The President also claimed that he was prepared to dispatch “50,000, 60,000 people” into American cities.

Trump has presented increasing crime rates in cities as a partisan issue whereby Democrat-run cities are the most dangerous places in the country largely due to their leadership’s political affiliation. Overall, out of the 50 largest cities in the US the homicide rate has increased by 25% in cities with Democratic mayors and by 15% in Republican-run cities revealing a decidedly bipartisan issue despite the President’s best efforts.

Operation LeGend’s coordinated law enforcement plan has now expanded into Chicago, Albuquerque, Cleveland, Detroit and Milwaukee. Reasons for this move include a 54% increase in homicides in Chicago from last year, a 7% increase in Detroit’s violent crime compared to the previous year while each of Cleveland’s 5 police districts are coping with an increase in shootings of around 20%.

Such statistics reveal a problem in many US cities, yet the question remains as to whether this problem can or should be solved through federal intervention or whether this, being a local issue, should be remedied via local resources.

Reebok Drops PREDATOR-Inspired DMX Shoe

Celebrating the latest installment in the Predator film franchise, Reebok has partnered with 20th Century Fox Consumer Products to produce a meticulously detailed cinematic collectible.

The DMX RUN 10 is a battle-hardened veteran in Reebok’s platoon of iconic sneaker models. For this particular mission, the dynamic DMX design was equipped with a shimmering lenticular camouflage material that mimics the Predator’s invisibility cloak as it rampages through the jungle.

Reebok’s classic Vector logo peers out from the top of the tongues like alien eyes piercing the night, while the yellow mesh gusset is an abstract nod to the Predator’s non-combat attire. The inner tongues feature ‘over here’ and ‘turn around’ printed in the creature’s native language. Inscribed with military coordinates in handwritten red ink, the transparent midsole overlays are another crisp nod to covert operations.

Eerie iridescent soles conceal more than just Reebok’s patented DMX tech. Black out the lights to witness glow-in-the-dark graphics inspired by the film’s finale when water short-circuits the Predator’s operating system. A ghoulish ‘spine trophy’ souvenir hangs from the laces as a tribute to theoriginal Predator film from 1987.

The custom packaging is also rich in designer detailing. Heatmap overlays imitate the Predator’s thermal-imaging vision, while the box itself is booby-trapped with hidden messages that will appeal to sci-fi boffins and diehard fans alike.

The 20th Century Fox x Reebok DMX RUN 10 is priced at $200 and will be released September 14th at extrabutter.com, reebok.com and Reebok Certified Network retailers worldwide.

The Reebok sneaker coincides with the September 14th opening of The Predator.
