UPDATE (September 4, 2021): Last week, G-Dragon shared a first look at PEACEMINUSONE’s upcoming collaborative wingtip shoe with Nike. Now, the duo’s silhouette has received an official name: Kwondo 1.
Following the K-pop artist’s teaser photos, a clearer image of the pair has recently been revealed by Instagram user @kiiiondo. The shoe features a low-cut design and is crafted from smooth white leather material. Elsewhere, the toe boxes sport wingtip details, while the side panels boast tonal Swooshes for a sleek look. Other standout elements include the lace shrouds on top of the lacing system — one comes with PEACEMINUSONE branding and the other features Nike’s logo.

ORIGINAL STORY (September 1, 2021): G-Dragon’s PEACEMINUSONE is continuing its relationship with Nike with another collaborative silhouette. Taking a break from the Air Force 1, the duo has decided to craft their own modern take on the wingtip, a classic dress shoe for men.
Teased via Instagram, the first post showcases two distorted images of the shoe. Two Swooshes can be found on the silhouette — one on the lateral and one near the toe. Elsewhere, the lace covers boast PEACEMINUSONE branding in silver, while the heel of the sole comes with five divots in the form of the K-pop artist’s signature daisy logo. The second post features the heel, which is embroidered with the colored version of the daisy motif.
PEACEMINUSONE x Nike’s wingtip shoe has yet to receive an official name, along with a release date and price point. Stay tuned while we wait for more information to surface.
