LADIES FRESH KICKS:

Following multiple teasers and leaks, Nike has finally announced the official release date and imagery of the second collaborative Air Force 1 shoe created with G-Dragon‘s PEACEMINUSONE. The sophomore launch arrives after the duo’s initial partnership, which generated much hype last year.

Maintaining the Korean pop star’s self-expressive nature expressed on the kicks, the new iteration arrives with a white color scheme. Taking inspiration from a mindset of self-actualization that GD dubs “Youtopia,” the artist highlights his painting that hides beneath the external layer of the upper. Staying consistent with last year’s release, the white material can be worn away to reveal the colorful art.

“Even though everything is uncertain these days, we shouldn’t stop expressing ourselves as the way we are, and creating our own world. With these footsteps being connected, we will find our utopia spreading in front of our eyes,” G-Dragon comments in a press release. “I dream of every one of you expressing yourselves freely in the Youtopia that you create for yourselves.”

Take a closer look at the forthcoming AF1s in the gallery below.

Texturized detailing at the toe parallels raised bumps on the tongue logo and heel medallions. Laces, lateral Swooshes and Air-assisted Phylite midsoles are rendered in tonal hues for a monochrome effect. Ribbon pull tabs located at the tongue add finishing touches to the nude architectural style.

The silhouette’s all-white synthetic upper boasts plastic overlays, along with a striking red Swoosh on the lateral. Additionally, the tongue badge is embroidered with the New York-based label’s signature red box logo. Rounding out the sneaker‘s design is the classic yellow TN motif found on the heel tab, as well as the Air Max-equipped midsoles. The drop will also include a special Nike Running cap that sports “Supreme” on the side panels in a wavy font, a TN badge on the front and a Supreme-branded strap on the back.

The lace lock comes in a red-orange hue, similar to the embroidered logo found on the heel tab.
