G-SHOCK drops a three-piece capsule, unveiling a new graphic pattern inspired by digital noise and static. The Digital Glitch series includes models GA-2100NN-1A, GA-2200NN-1A and DW-5600NN-1. The watches feature a semitransparent band punctuated by a polarized ink print that evokes the image of an electric current glitching mid-transmit. Using the latest practices in print technology, G-SHOCK’s futuristic series channels a stylish, fashion-forward offering for watch enthusiasts.
Signature to the brand, each timepiece provides 200-meter water resistance and shock resistance. All three models are equipped with flash alert, a double LED light or EL back light, a multi-function alarm, a 1/100-second stopwatch and a countdown timer. For the distorted static effect, G-SHOCK’s multi-angle printing deposits microparticles that reflect light at varying angles. In direct lighting, the strap’s luminescent sheen and intricate ink effect contrast against the matte black components and neobrite lume. The range showcases two analog/digital models which offer world time: an octagonal GA-2100NN-1A in purple and an eye-catching GA-2200NN-1A in green, which features exposed bezel screws for a rugged, sporty look. The blue DW-5600NN-1’s smaller octagon-face digital unit provides electro-luminescent backlighting in low-light settings.
Outside of its unique graphic imagery and translucent structuring, the Digital Glitch capsule is a versatile entry point into the brand’s signature GA-2100 and GA-2200 series. Both boast tech-heavy functionality and ensure your hardware can keep up with the unpredictable demands of your lifestyle courtesy of G-SHOCK’s proprietary Carbon Core Guard structure. Digital Glitch timepieces showcase the brand’s propensity for rugged, textural design; the collection is a stylish venture that merges technology with innovative graphic imaging.

World-renowned American jeans brand Levi’s continues to claim new territory with its Denim Tears collaboration, dropping Season 2 just in time for mid-summer.
Furthering its two-year partnership with a conceptual collection designed by creative curator Tremaine Emory, the new drop features the brand’s iconic 501 jeans, a shirt jacket, canvas tote, “Plantation” Hat and more. Utilizing white denim and indigo dye, the new collection highlights inspired textiles and fabrics that reflect upon the world’s troubled past in dealing with racism and the enslaved African Diasporic people – particularly the Gullah Geechee people who had a rich history involving indigo-dyed fabric.
To symbolize the detriment of the enslaved Africans, Emory artistically placed dye-dipped handprints all over the collection’s white denim, as a reference to their hands turning blue while arduously working with the materials. Additionally, vibrant colors of yellow, mint green and violet also fill up specialized jackets and pants within the collection.
Expressing sentiments about the new drop, Emory shares: “This collection presents a striking historical perspective, where every character, every look, and every setting evokes an autonomous examination of America’s past, present, and future.”
“I’ve recontextualized the DNA of the Gullah Geechee. The resulting body of work is a palpable alliance centered on the ability to embrace one community’s respective culture, history, and experience. The indigo hands assemble an eclectic talisman for the endurance of the Gullah Geechee slaves. They symbolize a new blueprint for America,” added Emory.
The new Levi’s x Denim Tears Season 2 collection is available now on the brand’s website.
