Introducing the Sneaker Freaker x G-SHOCK DW-5700 ‘Redback’
Reader beware, you’re in for a scare! have reunited with Casio to resurrect an uber-rare slice of history for our second watch collaboration: the DW-5700 ‘Redback’.
A successor to , the ‘Redback’ is a celebration of G-SHOCK’s 35th year on the scene and our very own 15th anniversary, so we knew we had to come up with something amazing — especially with Halloween right around the corner!
Inspired by the small — but highly deadly — antipodean arachnid known as the Redback spider, we came up with the perfect opportunity to revive G-SHOCK’s highly coveted ‘vampire’ display. This metallic blood red backing was last seen on just a handful of watches in 2003 for the watch brand’s 20th anniversary — and has never before been used in a colab!
The DW-5700 ‘Redback’ features a ‘Cool Grey’ matte resin housing and matching band, but flip it over and the backside is as venomous as the name suggests. Crimson band backings link to a devilishly black ion-plated co-branded backplate. Cobwebs ride up the lengths of the band, while subtle Sneaker Freaker and ‘Redback’ custom branding on the display add the perfect colab touch.
