CASIO introduces a limited-edition link-up between G-SHOCK and Hardies NYC, the skate hardware–turned–label founded in 2015 by Tyshawn Jones. Born out of New York’s sidewalks, handrails and corner stores, Hardies has always been for the homies who actually skate, not just dress the part, and that energy lands squarely on one of G-SHOCK’s most recognisable silhouettes, the DW-6900.

The DW-6900HH-5 comes dipped in a matte dark chocolate brown, a shade that feels like beat-up grip tape and late-night sessions, cut through with neon pink hits across the dial and display. The vapor-deposition treatment on the dial gives it a slick metallic depth, catching light like city nights off wet pavement.

Hardies NYC branding is baked deep into the design: a custom monogram on the dial, hot-stamped debossed details running down the band, and a special engraved case back that stamps the collaboration with the crew’s iconography. Limited-edition packaging rounds it out, so the experience starts from the moment you crack open the box.

The collaboration is a product of Tyshawn Jones’ lived experiences, as one of the most influential skateboarders of his generation and a two-time Thrasher ‘Skater of the Year’ (2018, 2022).

Hardies NYC started as a straight-up skate hardware and accessories outfit before evolving into a fully formed streetwear label. Ten years in, the brand is still rooted in the same neighbourhoods and culture that built it, using clothing and product to feed back into the community that gave it life.

Underneath the collab shell, the DW-6900HH-5 stays true to G-SHOCK’s no-nonsense toughness. You get the shock resistance and 200-meter water resistance that made the brand a mainstay for skaters, riders and anyone who lives rough with their wristwear. Daily features are all there: 

LED backlight (Super Illuminator) for night missions, multi-function alarm, 1/100-second stopwatch for timing lines, countdown timer, full auto-calendar and 12/24-hour time formats. It’s a proper beater you can thrash, stack with bracelets or tuck under a sleeve, without babying it.

The limited-edition G-SHOCK x Hardies NYC DW-6900HH-5 is already sold out online, but a tight run is still available at select G-SHOCK stores in Singapore. Once those are gone, that’s it.
