Sure, you can still buy basic G-Shocks, but there's been a huge wave of higher end collaborations with various designers over the last 5-10 years, and those are usually limited editions that trade for several hundred, if not thousands, of dollars. It's a bit like the Supreme brand.
GShock wont go the same way. Their bread and butter is cheap, affordable heavy duty watches.

What they are seeing and capitalizing on is that a lot these newer generation of watch wearers are more into the designer name than the actual watch itself. So where you or I or any other watch collector sees casio and g shock, they see the designer.
