					<description>Hi Bryan,

Actually I didn't know it either. the translation tool I used messed up the text besides the presentation box on the official release page of Casio Japan. It translated into the name Eric Hayes, and somehow it didn't ring a bell, until somebody mentioned it was a design by Eric Haze.

You will find it next to the box in this link: [&lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.casio.co.jp%2Frelease%2F2007%2Fg-shock_25th_anniversary.html&#038;langpair=ja%7Cen&#038;hl=en&#038;ie=UTF-8&#038;oe=UTF-8&#038;prev=%2Flanguage_tools" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;u&gt;click here&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to go to the translated Casio page].

I like the anniversary logo. It's got something mystic in it.

All the best,

					<description>Hi Sjors,

Oh, did Eric Haze design the logo for the 25th Anniversary G-Shock? Very interesting. Although the G-Shock 25th Anniversary logo is more abstract, it actually reminds me of the Laughing Man logo from &lt;em&gt;Ghost in the Shell.&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/63/Laughing-man.gif" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laughing_Man_(Ghost_in_the_Shell)" rel="nofollow"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Click here&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to go to Wikipedia for more information on the Laughing Man.

Thanks for adding the pictures of your new Frogman. It's a beautiful watch!

Regards,

					<description>Hello Bryan,

Thanks for this great article. It's nice to read the story behind the picture, as I only got an e-mail with pictures and an announcement. These shoes are very nice, special the yellow ones. There is a good possibility Eric Haze has designed these shoes. This rare threesome was made for the 25th Anniversary of G-Shock. There were already collaborations between G-Shock and KIKS Tyo (shirts and watches) and between Eric Haze and G-Shock. The new 25th Anniversary logo was designed by him too.

Here some pictures of my 25th Anniversary model frogman:

					<description>New Balance and G-Shock?  I must not be cool!  I would NEVER have thought I'd see some New Balance shoes like the ones you showed.  Funny...I remember, and until today...still thought of New Balance as a very "serious" no nonsense shoe company.  Their designs are primarily for runners which is very far from the hip hop image that basketball shoes convey.  I really am getting old!</description>
