Casio Computer Co., Ltd. has revealed plans to release 2,000 limited edition VIRTUAL G-SHOCK NFTs (non-fungible tokens) on 15 December, showcasing futuristic shock-resistant watches in a virtual realm. The move follows the September 2023 launch of the VIRTUAL G-SHOCK project aimed at engaging with Gen Z and new users in a virtual space.
G-SHOCK CREATOR PASS Distribution and Community Engagement
Before the NFT sales kick off on 15 December, the G-SHOCK CREATOR PASS distribution begins on November 28. This pass provides holders with valuable benefits, including advance purchasing privileges for the upcoming NFT sale. The pass was initially distributed for free, attracting immense interest, with 15,000 limited-edition NFTs distributed in a swift six hours.
VIRTUAL G-SHOCK NFT Designs and Themes
On the sale date, December 15, two distinct design patterns of VIRTUAL G-SHOCK NFTs will be available.

“The VGA-001 features a balloon concept. Focusing on an air-encased structure, we envisioned an artistic world where floating balloons dance freely, unaffected by gravity.”

“The VGA-002 features a leaf spring concept. Focusing on the resilience of leaf springs, we envisioned a futuristic shock-resistant structure that uses the force of springs to powerfully absorb shock. The colours reflect the stress applied to the leaf spring.”
G-SHOCK CREATOR PASS Secondary Distribution
Leading up to the NFT sales launch, additional G-SHOCK CREATOR PASS NFTs will be distributed for free starting November 28. Holders of these passes gain priority access during the advance sales period, further enhancing their engagement within the community.
