For those who are unfamiliar with the G-Shock DW-6900, the collection boasts rather illustrious street cred, favoured by the likes of Pharrell and Fabolous. The collection is also known for its string of high profile collaboration designs such as the one with Lifted Research Group (LRG), an American streetwear label, in 2009, and Maharishi, a London-based streetwear marque, in 2014, amongst others.
