If the name HIDDEN NY is new to you, where have you been hiding? I don't know where I have been because, apparently, I've missed out on the massively influential Instagram account that's counted the late Virgil Abloh and Drake as its top fans while building a following showing the best in streetwear since 2018. Even while HIDDEN has been growing into its own brand and has teamed up for the first time with G-Shock for a new release. Based off the iconic DW5600, the new DW5600HDN227 takes cues from HIDDEN's concept of "Past, Present, as well as Future" and also HIDDEN's white and green brand colors, but a little bit faded for any retro vibe. That means you actually get maussade bone resin throughout the strap, bezel, and case of the watch and eco-friendly accents around the dial and in the band itself. HIDDEN's logo and rule also show up on the face when the backlight is used. And the watch itself comes with shock resistance, 200m water resistance, EL NUEVO backlight, 1/100-second stopwatch, counting down timer, and the rest of the usual features.
The DW5600HDN227 model retails for $170 and will be available for purchase today, August 18th, at hiddenppf. com to get a limited time. Beginning on August 24th, you can also get the watch upon gshock. com and the G-SHOCK Soho store, if you live in New York. Does anyone remember the actual arcade game called Cyberspace Troopers: Virtual On? I remember going to the local pizza place with my parents as a kid and playing as these massive robots fighting each other. The game was largely in Japanese and had this retro-futuristic feel and for some reason, this particular release brought that all surging back. I'm a big fan of the sombre resin on this release and also the way the brand has put the whole package together. Actually , the digital press release bundle they sent had a few pictures of cool t-shirts and sweatshirts as well, though there was no mention of them in the release. Frankly, that doesn't surprise me. I've never been cool enough to know how you obtain the extra awesome stuff when it comes to streetwear brands. In fact , a few of us at Hodinkee couldn't quite figure out how to even see a single thing on the hiddenppf. com website, which just concurs with that I am suddenly earliest pens.
