Nike Announces Collaboration With BIGBANG’s G-Dragon In His First Activities Since Military Discharge

Nov 4, 2019

Nike has announced that they will be collaborating with BIGBANG’s G-Dragon!

On November 4, Nike announced, “Nike’s Air Force 1 PARA-NOISE (AF1 PARA-NOISE) was created based on fashion, music, art, culture, and sports, all the communities that G-Dragon has an intellectual curiosity in,” and “We’ve symbolically represented the power of change through an intersection point of all the ideals and realities of each community.”

They continued to add, “AF1 PARA-NOISE represents everything that G-Dragon has experienced. All of the countless experiences one has, past and present, come together to help dream of a new ideal, which then shapes our identities and futures.”

G-Dragon also expressed his excitement for the collaboration and said, “I hope this will be the start of a revolutionary style that respects various perspectives, circumstances, and preferences, bringing together Nike’s Air Force 1, which has become a cultural icon across all generations, and my identity that has been shaped by many experiences.”

This is set to be G-Dragon’s first official activities since being discharged from the military in October. The official global launch will be released through Nike’s website on November 23, and there will also be products released exclusively in Korea.

Leaked many a time just throughout the last few months, G-Dragon and his very own label PEACEMINUSONE have clearly spent quite a bit of time on his own Nike collaborations: a fitting, and momentous celebration in honor of the K-Pop legend’s release from the army.

Bearing no militaristic influence, however, the pair — which is likely to be the Air Force 1 of distressed accents — is more a return to his most playful form and a passionate nod to the customizations he makes on his personal pairs. Uppers are seemingly hand-painted in stark black, showcasing imperfections through its finish with white swooshes, lining, and sole units likely being the only remains of what may have been an underlying Triple White pair.

Tongues brandish with the label’s classic sunflower logo — complete with just one petal missing in connection to its namesake — while the walls of the midsole take on subtle brush marks throughout, a personal motif that is matched only by the tie-dye insole. Grab a quick look at these right here and keep an eye out for word on official release dates and images.
