"I've been a part of the G-SHOCK family for some time now and I'm hyped to release my second signature watch. It's great to be involved with something that's so well established and has as much history as G-SHOCK," said Stevie Williams. "G-SHOCK is the freshest player in the game, and I'm proud of our partnership and to be a part of the G-SHOCK 30th Anniversary."

"We asked Stevie to create a special model for the G-SHOCK 30th Anniversary because his brand, DGK, is the epitome of streetwear," said Hiroshi Nakamura, Senior General Manager of the Global Marketing Headquarters, Casio Computer Co., Ltd. "DGK compliments G-SHOCK in style and brand appeal."

Originally from Philadelphia, Stevie Williams grew up skating Love Park. He and his friends were referred to as Dirty Ghetto Kids by the other skaters who frequented the plaza, Obviously the name stuck and Stevie was able to turn it into something positive when he formed DGK in 2002. Stevie's path to success began after leaving home at the age of 14 to pursue his dream of becoming a professional skateboarder in San Francisco. After navigating a path that was full of twists and turns and ups and downs, Stevie was able to accomplish his goal and is now an icon both in and outside of skateboarding. He currently divides his time between Los Angeles and Atlanta and stays busy skateboarding and running all of his business endeavors.
