A nod to the brand's 40th anniversary is included at the medial badge in white G-SHOCK font while tonal All Star branding can be spotted at the heel of the midsole.For those interested in picking up a pair of the G-SHOCK x Converse Japan All Stars, they're set to become available via Converse Japan on October 24 at a price of ¥17,600 JPY (approx. $118 USD).Looking for more of the latest news from the world of footwear?
