                                       Limited Edition Dee and Ricky G-Shock GA110DR-1A

The hottest LImited Edition G-shock this year was by Staten Island twins Demetris (Dee) and Ricardo (Ricky) Jackson (simply known as Dee and Ricky).  These 23 year old fashion hipsters are new to the scene but jumped in head first.  People such Kanye West, Rihanna and one of my fav artist Takashi Murakami have been seen wearing their lego designs.  Even fashion king Marc Jacobs used their designs in his 2008 spring runway show.  Now they have taken their logo designs to inspire the latest collabo with G-Shock to create my favorite G-Shock this year.  

    

These things are selling like hotcakes!  I was on the mad search for it this summer.  Stussy NYC store received 20 on one Saturday and sold out in 2hours!  Macy's, the largest retailer of G-Shock in the U.S, only got 2 per store.  I searched every Macy's in NY and NJ and only found 4!  (of course I snatched them all)  I did find one at Reed Space in NYC with a inflated price tag.  Hell... these bad boys are now running $400 on ebay.  I still have one more Dee and Ricky left and will be on sale soon.  'After' you can't find them anywhere that is...... hit me up.  But be sure that you will be paying a premium.

Check out Dee and Ricky's website to purchase their lego designs.  You can also add them on Facebook as well as follow them on Twitter.  They even have a blog on my favorite trend site Hypebeast.com.
