In honor of BAPE’s 25th anniversary and G-Shock’s 35th anniversary, the two brands have teamed up to drop a collaborative camo model based on the G-SHOCK GA-110. This BAPE x G-SHOCK Limited Edition GA-110 special collab is completely wrapped in BAPE’s ABC CAMO print with gold metallic detailing in the watch face. On the reverse side, BAPE’s Apehead is engraved, along with Casio and G-SHOCK branding. Definitely, a must cop for watch and BAPE fans.

BAPE x G-SHOCK GA110
The BAPE x G-SHOCK anniversary watch is the result of a much longer history of collaboration between both brands, since 1998!
If only some type of archive or repository existed where we could research this history…
Thankfully, StockX is home to the only complete and authoritative back catalog of every BAPE eMook, ever. Let’s take a gander at the last 14 years of BAPE x G-SHOCK collab history to fully appreciate the enduring beauty of this collaboration.
