When It Comes to Collabs, G-SHOCK Is Still “UNDEFEATED”
LA-based streetwear OGs UNDEFEATED just dropped into G-SHOCK’s orbit with a remix of the DWE-5600, and it’s a clean hit.
G-SHOCK heads will instantly clock the classic 5600 DNA, but this version pushes the silhouette into full classic streetwear territory. We’re talking 20-bar water resistance, a shock-proof case, and a battery-powered display that keeps better time than most luxury mechanicals.
This is everyday utility done right.
As for the collab? G-SHOCK’s track record reads like a hypebeast hall of fame — BAPE, KITH, Bodega, Takashi Murakami, HIDDEN.NY, Marni — and now, another entry with UNDEFEATED.
The LA brand’s love of camouflage runs deep, so it's only right that its signature prints return here as interchangeable straps, there’s the option of tiger camo, storm camo, and a ghosted five-strike logo glowing in the backlight.
For many collectors, even seasoned ones, G-SHOCK remains god-tier. It’s often the first watch people owned, a gift, a starter, a rite of passage. Even the most dialed-in collectors keep a G-SHOCK or a Casio classic in rotation. Just ask Tyler, the Creator, who wore one to the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards.
Layer that legacy with a streetwear imprint like UNDEFEATED, and you’ve got something that is sure to connect, especially with those who grew up standing outside of stores for hype drop.
G-SHOCK collabs can swing loud or low-key, and this one’s the latter, a subtle design refresh that still hits with signature iconography and street-coded attitude.
While the rest of the watch world debates titanium and tourbillons, G-SHOCK stays undefeated, on wrists, in rotation, and always tapped into the culture.
