Casio America, Inc. has unveiled a new collaboration between its renowned G-SHOCK brand and Hardies NYC, a prominent New York-based skate brand founded by Tyshawn Jones. This partnership introduces the limited-edition DW6900HH-5, a fresh iteration of G-SHOCK’s iconic DW6900 model, designed to reflect the essence of skate culture and urban utility.
The DW6900HH-5 features a striking matte dark chocolate brown case complemented by vibrant neon pink accents, providing a bold visual statement. This design not only enhances its aesthetic but also incorporates a vapor-deposition dial treatment for added depth and durability. The watch showcases Hardies’ branding with a custom monogram logomark on the dial, hot-stamped debossed branding on the band, and a uniquely engraved case back that highlights Hardies’ signature iconography. Custom packaging further emphasizes the limited-edition nature of this collaboration.
Built on the trusted DW6900 platform, this watch offers G-SHOCK’s legendary toughness and practicality. It is designed for a variety of settings, from skate sessions to everyday wear, ensuring comfort and reliability. Key features include shock resistance, 200M water resistance, an LED backlight, multiple alarm functions, a stopwatch, and a countdown timer.
Tyshawn Jones, a two-time Thrasher “Skater of the Year” award winner, has significantly shaped the skateboarding landscape through his vision and creativity. Since its inception in 2015, Hardies NYC has evolved from a skate hardware brand into a significant player in the streetwear scene, known for its authentic and community-driven approach. Jones’ collaboration with G-SHOCK symbolizes a shared commitment to resilience and individuality, merging the worlds of skate culture and high-performance timepieces.
The G-SHOCK x Hardies NYC DW6900HH-5 will retail for $150 and is set to launch on January 21, 2026, at 17:00 EST on gshock.com.
