FRESH KICKS: NIKE

After teasing exclusive iterations of the Kwondo 1 for his friends and family earlier this month, G-Dragon has finally announced the official release date of his collaborative pair with Nike under his label, PEACEMINUSONE.

Inspired by taekwondo, G-Dragon’s legal name and the Swoosh’s “Just Do It” slogan, the Kwondo 1 features an all-white leather upper with brogue details taken from the Nike Tiempo and classic golf shoes. The lacing system comes with a detachable cover, allowing you to wear the footwear style in two different ways. Rounding off the design is PEACEMINUSONE’s signature daisy logo on the heels and soles. “I want to feel free with the way I wear and style clothes, in addition to everything else that I do,” G-Dragon shares in a press release. “I hope that people can overcome stereotypes and feel free in their own way by wearing the Kwondo 1.”

PEACEMINUSONE x Nike’s Kwondo 1 will be available via Nike SNKRS and select major retailers on December 3.

Nike and Swarovski add another collaboration to their impressive roster, joining forces on a truly unique Air Force 1 Low available in “Triple White” and “Triple Black” colorways. The monochromatic designs come decked out with avant-garde bejeweled overlays secured with large screws. Each pair comes with an etched “NIKE AIR FORCE 1” screwdriver to remove the panels, offering a customizable take on the style.

The pair follows the jaw-dropping Cactus Plant Flea Market Dunk and Swarovski x Nike Air Max 97. Fingers crossed this partnership crosses over into Jordan Brand. Swarovski Jordan 1s, anyone?

Dressed in creamy beige and pure white, the Nike Air Force 1 High Utility “Light Bone” has a synthetic leather upper and Velcro strap at the collar. It also features a taller midsole and improved traction thanks to a serrated outsole.

While no official release date has been announced, shoppers can expect to see the “Light Bone” AF1 High Utility to release at Nike stockists in the next few weeks. It follows a dusty “Arctic Pink” iteration released this fall.
