Celebrating G-SHOCK: A Journey Through Time
From June 7 to June 22, 2025, KOMEHYO Shibuya will host a remarkable exhibition titled "Times flies", featuring over 200 G-SHOCK models, including limited editions and anniversary pieces. This special event, organized in partnership with Rodeo Drive, celebrates G-SHOCK's rich 40-year legacy since its launch in 1983.
G-SHOCK is renowned for its durability and has captivated watch enthusiasts and street fashion aficionados alike. Its ability to withstand extreme conditions, whether in sports or daily wear, has solidified its status as a cultural icon. The collaboration with Rodeo Drive promises a unique showcase where collectors can find rare models that have been well-preserved, making it an event not to be missed.
The Evolution of G-SHOCK
Since its inception, G-SHOCK has continuously evolved, introducing innovative features and stylish designs. The brand’s collaboration with various artists and companies has led to distinctive models that resonate with consumers’ lifestyles. The watches not only serve as timepieces but also reflect the personality and interests of their wearers—be it for skateboarding, diving, or winter sports.
The synergy between G-SHOCK and Shibuya's vibrant street culture enhances its appeal, making it a staple accessory for trendsetters. Collectors have long sought after G-SHOCK models, especially those released in limited quantities or with unique collaborations, often fetching high prices at auctions worldwide.
What to Expect at the Exhibition
The exhibition is set to showcase a diverse range of G-SHOCK models, particularly focusing on anniversary and collaboration pieces. As time goes on, the availability of well-preserved items with original packaging diminishes, making this exhibition a golden opportunity for fans and collectors.
While some models may exhibit signs of wear, others stand out as pristine collectibles, functioning as gateways to connect new enthusiasts with the brand’s storied past. A statement from the project team highlights the significance of G-SHOCK in the context of streetwear.
"KOMEHYO Shibuya ranks as the second top-selling KOMEHYO store for G-SHOCK in 2024," said Yuma Date, Area Product Manager at KOMEHYO East Japan. "With its compatibility with street fashion, we felt it was the perfect setting for our popup event. G-SHOCK offers various features that resonate with personal hobbies and lifestyles, making the selection process an enjoyable expression of individuality."
