G-Shock & Shock G


G-SHOCK x HIDDEN NY DW5600HDN257: A Timepiece for the Culture

When I first started wearing G-SHOCKs, hip-hop was exploding and streetwear was beginning to define a new generation’s aesthetic. Brands like Adidas, Kangol, and FILA were already making waves, but G-SHOCK carved out its own lane, combining toughness, tech, and urban edge. Fast forward to today, and G-SHOCK is still rooted in that same energy. The latest drop with HIDDEN NY, the DW5600HDN257, is the perfect fusion of where G-SHOCK started and where the culture is headed.

G-SHOCK MRGB2000 Series: The Pinnacle of Precision and Power

I still remember the day I got my first G-SHOCK. It was 1983, and I was in eighth grade. The DW-5000C was the ultimate status symbol and a perfect match for my Izod shirt and parachute pants. The watch was tough, futuristic, and unlike anything else on the market. That same spirit is alive and well in Casio’s latest premium MR-G models: the MRGB2000BG-3A and MRGB2000RG3A.

Shock G Tribute

I cosplayed as Shock G to honor the legendary rapper behind Digital Underground. Known for his Humpty Hump persona, Shock G created “The Humpty Dance,” produced 2Pac’s early hits, and shaped West Coast hip-hop. This tribute was my way of celebrating his lasting influence on music and culture.
