G-SHOCK Collaborates with Hardies NYC on a Limited-Edition DW6900 Inspired by Skate Culture and Street Utility
A bold expression of toughness, authenticity, and modern skate heritage
JERSEY CITY, N.J., Jan. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio America, Inc. is proud to announce a new limited-edition collaboration between G-SHOCK and Hardies NYC, the New York–based skate brand founded in 2015 by Tyshawn Jones, starting as a skate hardware and accessory brand rooted in New York City's streets and skate culture. The collaboration introduces the DW6900HH-5, a reimagined take on G-SHOCK's iconic DW6900 silhouette, infused with Hardies' unmistakable street and skate DNA.
The DW6900HH-5 channels this ethos through a matte dark chocolate brown case and band, contrasted with neon pink accents across the dial and display for bold visual impact. A vapor-deposition dial treatment adds depth and durability, while Hardies' branding appears throughout the design, including a custom monogram logomark on the dial, hot-stamped debossed branding on the band, and a special engraved case back featuring Hardies' signature iconography. The watch is finished with custom packaging designed exclusively for the collaboration, reinforcing its limited-edition status.
Built on the trusted DW6900 platform, the watch delivers G-SHOCK's legendary toughness and everyday functionality with comfortable wearability, making it equally suited for skate sessions, city wear, and daily life.
Rooted deeply in skateboarding culture and street fashion, Hardies Hardware is known for its raw aesthetic and strong ties to the global skate community. Founder Tyshawn Jones, one of the most influential skateboarders of his generation and a two-time Thrasher "Skater of the Year" award winner (2018 and 2022), brings his lived experience and creative vision to the collaboration. Tyshawn has built Hardies into a brand that resonates far beyond skate parks, earning collaborations with other cultural powerhouses liked Adidas. This shared commitment to toughness, individuality, and street-driven style makes Hardies NYC an ideal collaborator for G-SHOCK, uniting two brands that thrive at the intersection of culture and performance.
