    Nike leaves Vaporfly out of its new fastest shoe family as Apex takes centre stage with double-stacked Air Zoom, 40% more energy return and zero-drop geometry (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Nike has spent the past couple of years tearing up and rebuilding its running shoe range, and now it’s turning its attention to its fastest shoes. The brand has unveiled what it calls its new “race-day system of speed”, a three-shoe family comprising the cream-of-the-crop Nike Apex, the now-demoted Alphafly 4 and the super-trainer Swooshfly. Interestingly, the Vaporfly, arguably the shoe that started the modern super-shoe revolution, isn’t part of it. The Vaporfly isn't going anywhere, though; N

    Casio just gave the MUDMAN its biggest digital upgrade yet with an MIP display and smartphone notifications (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Casio has given the ultra-tough G-Shock GDG-B100 a surprisingly modern upgrade. The new MUDMAN keeps the mud, dust and shock resistance the line is known for, but adds a high-contrast MIP display, activity and training features, Bluetooth connectivity and even smartphone notifications. It arrives at a relatively approachable £200, making it an interesting alternative to the considerably more expensive sensor-packed models elsewhere in Casio's Master of G family. (Not to mention the Casio G-SHOCK

    I wore the £67,000 G-SHOCK that took Casio eight years to make, and the price isn’t even the wildest part (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    There are expensive watches, and then there’s the most expensive watch Casio has ever made. As part of the new Blue Rose collection, I got to spend some quality time with Casio’s new MRG-D5000 ahead of its launch today, and although that extraordinary price inevitably grabs your attention first, it quickly became one of the less interesting things about the watch. The MRG-D5000 is the result of an eight-year engineering project built around a slightly ridiculous question: can you make a G-SHOCK

    G-Shock’s latest DW5600 looks like an overripe banana, but it’s actually a tribute to Casio’s "mother factory" (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    There are plenty of unusual G-Shocks out there, but very few look quite as deliberately overripe as BAIT’s new “Yamagata’s Finest” DW5600. Created with US streetwear retailer BAIT, the new watch is finished in bright banana yellow and covered with irregular brown speckles designed to make it look like a piece of fruit at peak ripeness. Even the tip of the strap has been darkened to complete the effect, while a cartoon banana mascot called “Shawty with Freckles” appears throughout the accompanyin
