So we found this article in Transworld about a collaboration between Globe and G-shock. It would have been really nice if they had put some footage of  someone actually riding the board but some surf footage will have to do, I suppose. Well here’s what Transworld had to say.

Globe Launches A New Collaborative G-Shock Timepiece, Boot, & Cruiserboard Collection

El Segundo, California – November 1, 2011 – GLOBE, designers and distributors of footwear, clothing and cruiser skateboards, has released the second installment of the GLOBE x G Shock product collaboration including a timepiece, boot and cruiserboard.

“Having been an admirer of G-Shock for as long as I can remember, and having had such a good time working on our first shoe and watch collaboration with them, I was stoked when G-Shock asked us about a follow-up project,” said GLOBE’s Global Product President Matt Wong.
