ok ok... so these guys might look like a couple of long lost greek cousins - one could be a slightly disinterested ten-pin bowler of irish-hellenic roots and leprechaun-esque ambitions, while the other was just that greek kid in your italian class who really liked styling every else's hair. Anyway... back in Denmark these two dudes rule the shit out of the hipster snot-nosed zeitgeist. They aren't just leading edge, they are the edge.

And fuck it, who am I to complain. If these rockstars are sporting casio retro watches then it must be cool...

bStore collaboration!!

Following the success of Casio G-Shock and b Store's previous collaboration, ‘Tokyo Calling’, the innovators are joining together once more for a new, exciting venture into time telling. The new effort, ‘b Store Super Squares’ features two limited edition watches based on the new G-7800-1 ER with bespoke designs by b Store owners Matthew Murphy and Kirk Beattie adorning the watch bands.

The watches are printed with patterns from the current b Store collection, and have a slightly retro appeal in both shape and embellishment. While one watch features navy and white polka dots, the other is covered in a monochrome plaid- both classic colours and patterns to sharply complement any stylish wardrobe.

The exclusive watches will retail at the b Store shop as well as selected boutiques world wide, including colette in Paris and Paraphernalia in Rome.

co-lab your ass off!!

Not many people have heard of Spike Lee's 1999 documentary Pavarotti and Friends for Guatemala and Kosovo. Personally, I think it's one of his unknown masterpiece's and should be up there with She's Gotta Have It, 25th Hour, Inside Man and Malcolm X.

Regardless, the guy is without at doubt one of America's greatest film and cultural ambassadors and political voices. Furthermore, his collection of horn-rimmed glasses is just downright fucking cool. If he wasn't so damn smart, he sure as well would look it anyway...

When G-Shock celebrated it 25th birthday last year, Spike Lee created a short film for the company, as well as designing an exclusive watch based on the original G-Shock 5600 model. In his 1995 film Clockers, Spike featured G-Shock watches predominantly, so it was a natural partnership built on mutual respect. The watch features the logo of Lee's production company, 40 Acres and A Mule logo in the EL Backlight as well as his signature on the case back (not his real signature you donut... an engraving).

eric haze may have less hair than the dalai lama, but he's been around the block a time or two... and was probably doing some sort of sick upside-down nollie heel-flip while you were picking your nose with a plastic chopstick. Anyway, this guy was street before cross-colors denim was even invented. He designed graf logo's for a couple of little bands like the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy, and even some old show called MTV.

So yeah, naturally this kid wants to be involved with G-Shock - his collaboration is one of the most sought after in the world. Some stores in Australia still have stock, so close the macbook (does anyone even use pc's anymore?!?!!) and go find one!!!

ALIFE x G-Shock - ALIFE State of Mind DW-5600

It's quite likely these sexy little fuckers are completely sold out by now; but, limited to only 100 pieces worldwide and exclusive to ALIFE flagship stores, it's worth calling your mate in NYC and asking him to sell his grandma's jewellery collection and get his hungry little ass over to the lower east side to grab a couple for you.

get Shocked at sneaker freaker

Sneaker kids, perennial party-goers, the usual hip-hop rabble and a group of 16 year-old Japanese schoolgirls rolled into Melbourne's deliciously dirty dungeon of all things debaucherous, Revolver Upstairs, for the launch of the Sneaker Freaker issue 15.

With more Nike SBs and Supra Sky-tops to poke a wet-willy at, things got quickly and nicely out of control. Product giveaways from every man and his dog ensured a superbly humorous stacks-on from all the cheap-skates in the crowd, whilst Woody and co. laughed from the relative safety of the DJ booth and chucked more free shit into the frenzied crowd.

Some lucky punk managed to snuffle a highly limited (and completely sold out) Eric Haze signature G-Shock watch, but reports are that he never managed to get out of the place with his time-piece or all limbs intact - he is allegedly still hiding behind the cognac in the cage above the Revolver bar...

tuff enuff for u??

you know those days when you're waiting in the line at the bank, stealing a few sideways glances at the cute chick in glasses at the customer service desk, and then out of the corner of your eye you spot a pretty sketchy looking character who just totally looks out of place.

your mind takes over, and all of a sudden this dodgy guy pulls a balaclava from out of his pocket and slides it over his head and starts screaming. Everyone hits the deck, but you... Erik Roberts style, walk calmly over to the would-be terrorist and politely tell him to leave the premises before things get ugly... Of course in a matter of seconds, him and his cronies are left bruised and battered and whimpering for a warm cup of cocoa and a Vicks chest-rub; whilst you, with cute bank-chick over one shoulder, stroll out of the place downing a can of Solo and a super-sized mars bar.

well... maybe its just me.

But in the event of such an occurrence, I'd be damn sure to want a watch like this on my wrist. This mean piece of timing is apparently air-dropping into stores around the country in May. But don't bother looking for it, you won't find it... This thing's so stealth, that even if you did, it'd kick your ass back to '87 before you realised it.
