Before the official release, Nike detailed on its official website how G-Dragon’s PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Kwondo 1 was born. In Nike’s latest “Behind the Design”, Catalyst senior shoe designer Jupiter Desphy, who participated in this shoe design, briefly introduced the inspiration, story and reference source behind the latest collaboration shoes of the Korean superstar.
Jupiter Desphy said at the beginning of the film: “G-Dragon’s style is not limited to men or women. Even if it is derived from men, anyone can show this style.” G-Dragon originally hoped to use the silhouette of retro running shoes. The blueprint was created, and later borrowed elements from golf shoes and bowling shoes. At the beginning of the design, G-Dragon’s preference for leather shoes was also kept in mind. Therefore, the design team finally chose SB Janoski as the basis with all the ideas, because the shoes have narrow characteristics And the beautiful toe shape.
Kwondo 1 is covered in all white and uses high-quality leather as the upper. From the heel to the toe, it is decorated with exquisite Wing-Tip details. The shoelace is added with a clamshell inspired by football shoes. Finally, the concave PEACEMINUSONE can be seen on the outsole. The daisy mark will leave a special daisy mark when you step on the beach. When Jupiter Desphy finally mentioned G-Dragon, he said: “He is always full of enthusiasm and has clear goals. I think his design method is like making music.”
PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Kwondo 1 is expected to land on SNKRS on December 3, priced at $180 USD. Interested readers may wish to pay more attention.
