Introducing Globe’s latest addition to its cruiser board line up – the Bantam. These may look like the boards of yesteryear, but they definitely are not. With a 30-day guarantee on the board and a lifetime guarantee on the trucks, the Globe Bantam Cruiser is not a toy. The board is stiffer, the trucks are wider and the components last longer than anything in the market.

Once again G-Shock teams up with Globe and goes beyond simply collaborating on a timepiece. For Fall 2011 the two brands present both a watch and matching skate lifestyle products.

“Inspired by military night operatives, the uniform matte black, GRX5600GE-1 timepiece features a contrasting red LCD display with a subtle integration of the GLOBE logo on the face and band along with a fabric band keeper. Staying true to G-Shock’s toughness and technology, the GRX5600GE-1 features, Shock Resistance, 200M Water Resistance, Tough Solar power and tide/moon graphs making it the perfect accessory for any action sport enthusiast. To compliment the design of the watch, the boardsports products are also produced in a sleek black with red accents.

The Cruiserboard is 8.5” x 32” and is constructed of 7-ply hardrock maple with custom Globe EVA traction foam grip that’s easy on the feet. Premium 58mm/78A urethane wheels and Slant trucks with GLOBE first bushings provide a smooth and nimble ride.

GLOBE’s all new Comanche Boot is made from irregular leather, canvas and shaved suede for a vintage military look, has a rear zip entry, waxed rope laces and a metal speed lace collar to tie things up. It also comes with a custom vintage dog tag.”

The watch, skateboard deck and boots will release in November 2011.

Continuing to work in the action sports sector, Casio has announced their upcoming collaboraiton with Globe. Authentic in its approach, the Globe X G-Shock Ltd Edition package breaks boundaries by incorporating a fitted cap with black on black embroidery, sleek leather mesh bill and custom lining as well as the Destroyer, an 80s retro high-top white sneaker with black and gold detailing to perfectly coordinate with the DW5600GLB-7 watch.

Inventively designed, the G-Shock X Globe collaboration watch pays homage to the very first G-Shock (DW5000C) with its classic square shaped bezel. A crisp white motif accented with gold Globe logos, the watch features a custom engraved back case, Globe matrix dial design and contrasting red Globe logo in the EL backlight. Destined to be a collector’s item, the DW5600GLB-7 has its own black on black metal road case.

The entire collection is available starting in April 2010, at select fashion and skate shops.

G-Shock is not standing still these days and keeps us very busy with one new collaboration after the other. Just like with other brands that get the hang of the collaboration game, some of these coops are great and others less. We will let you be the judge of that.

Today we take a first look at upcoming collaborative watches with Redman, Todd Jordan, Mr. Cartoon, Globe and LRG. LRG has worked several times already with the brand. The others worked on special watch make-ups and Globe even produced a special sneaker to go along with their G-Shock watch.

We attended the recent G-Shock event that not only showcased these new collaborations, but also saw Kanye West perform live for the crowd. Definitely a momorable night! Here below a video of one of his performances of the night.

More images of the event follow here.

Now take a detailed look at the upcoming G-Shock collaboration watches after the jump.
