[Article] Nike announces collaboration with Korean superstar G-Dragon

Footwear giant Nike announced its latest collaboration with Korean superstar Kwon Ji-yong, more popularly known as G-Dragon.

The leader of the Korean group BIGBANG posted a teaser of the collaboration on his personal Instagram page on November 1, just a few days after he was discharged from military service.

According to Nike, the Air Force 1 “Para-noise” has a “unique upper fabrication that features a black painted overlay designed to slowly wear away over time to reveal a personal artwork created by G-Dragon.”

Photos posted by G-Dragon show a black Air Force 1 with a daisy embroidered on the tongue and G-Dragon’s PEACEMINUSONE imprint.

Nike also said the artwork conveys G-Dragon’s “vision of a world where the youth are unified through creativity and a free exchange of ideas.”

The Nike Air Force 1 Para-noise will be released globally on November 23.
