The cool guys at Sneaker Freaker sent me a free copy of their latest issue in appreciation for linking shots of my sneakers on their site. Good stuff!




Anyway, got myself yet ANOTHER pair of sneakers. This time, it's the iconic clean look of a pair of Lacoste L34s (white leather, milk/claret colour scheme). Was earlier thinking about the pure white/navy colour but it looked too much like Bata Badminton Masters or BM2000s so I skipped that. I had planned to get one of these for a while as I lacked a pair of sneaks that are low cut flats.






















Finally, I ordered this a while back and was surprised it came yesterday. What a pleasant surprise it was! Now I can choose to wear this or sell it for some profit. Hmmm do I want Aki Hoshino on me? Hmmm...

The Iconic Casio G-Shock Mudman G9000-1V

In reference to an earlier post, I got a great low offer for the price of this one so I grabbed it without much thought (though I was earlier looking at the Toyota 4x4 LE version). Nevertheless, this Mudman is most representative of all that's tough in a G-Shock. It also has 200 water resistance and mud resistance. Possible the 2nd most famous and sought after G-Shock after the Frogman.

Ultimate Casio G-Shocks

Many often consider Casio G-Shock watches to be great value for money and I cannot disagree. However, some are not aware that certain G-Shock models are made in Japan. These are high end G-Shock models that are the flagships for Casio.

Possibly the most highly sought after models are of the MRG range (aka Mister G). These are the finest G-Shock watches Casio produce and damn, they look cool!

The top of the line is the MSRP 180000 YEN monster, the MRG-7500.




Then there's the gorgeous MRG-7100




The most affordable MRG, the MRG-2100, shipped at 65000 YEN




After the MRGs, we have the Mudman... an incredibly tough G-Shock model. Good for use in muddy, damp conditions.







The Mudman also have siblings in models such as the Raysman and the diving watch, the Frogman.

Finally, the recently released Gulfman...




Note that these watches support Waveceptor, i.e. they can scan the radio waves for transmission information of the time from an atomic clock source. Alas, this feature is not supported in Malaysia.
