Explore the one-and-only, MY G-SHOCK.
Case06 Antony, comedian

The "MY G-SHOCK" project, which allows users to create their own G-Shock in their own color scheme, is attracting a lot of attention. Based on the standard 5600 model, the user can choose the color scheme of the dial, bezel, belt, belt loop, and buckle as desired, with a total of more than 1.9 million possible combinations. This time, Mr. Antony from Mathenou took up the challenge. Ant-thony, who has his own YouTube channel where he shares his sneaker collection, store tours, and other highly sensitive content, is also a long-time G-Shock user with detailed knowledge of current and past G-Shock models. What colors does he combine to create the one and only?

He is partial to sneakers and G-Shocks.

We took a short break to ask Mr. Antony about his favorite sneakers, and he selected three pairs from his 300 or so pairs of sneakers that he would like to pair with his G-Shock. Can you get inspiration for "MY G-SHOCK" from the fashion talk?

I'm in the right mood at the right time, but right now I have these three pairs. I can't go wrong with the timeless Jordan 1s I received as a birthday present in the Chicago color, and I also love the Travis I got when I went to Los Angeles for work. The Hoka Oneone shoes may come as a surprise, but I'm also glad that they are so comfortable and easy to match with other shoes. They are so light that my feet seem to move on their own, and the moment I put them on I was like, 'What the heck is this?

Antony, who says he is a collector by nature, is a big fan of casual and tough items, such as sneakers and G-Shocks.

I saw my mother the other day and she was wearing Jordan 4 Unions, and I told her to stop it because I was embarrassed that I was returning.( lol) Thinking back, the first pair of sneakers my father gave me was Air Force 1, and the first watch my mother bought me was a G-Shock. When I was in elementary school, I wore college-style parkas to [Hysteric Glamour] and [Ralph Lauren]. At first I didn't like it, but then I remembered how cool it was, and now that I look back, it's fashionable (laughs).

I was praised and encouraged by my seniors who were fashion-conscious when I was in junior high school, who said, "Antony suits you best," and I have continued to wear it ever since. Whether it's sneakers or G-Shock, I still love them. That is why I worry about whether MY G-SHOCK should be an adult color or a color that is also childlike.
