You need to get an apply the namespace to the children. http://php.net/manual/en/simplexmlelement.getnamespaces.php

<?php
$xml = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0" version="2.0">
    <channel>
        <title>werwer</title>
        <link>werwerwe</link>

        <item>
            <g:id>704667</g:id>
            <title>Nike</title>
            <description>erterterter</description>
        </item>

        <item>
            <g:id>4456456</g:id>
            <title>Nike</title>
            <description>erterterter</description>
        </item>

    </channel>
</rss>';

$xml = simplexml_load_string($xml);
$ns = $xml->getNamespaces(true);

foreach ($xml->channel->item as $item) {
    echo $item->children($ns['g'])->id.PHP_EOL;
}
/*
