The wait is over for sneaker K-Pop fans and AF1 lovers ….G-Dragon is back, teaming up with Nike for yet another black Air Force. Following the wildly popular 2019 collaboration, the South Korean artist's PEACEMINUSONE label is revisiting the timeless Air Force 1 Low silhouette for the much-anticipated "Para-Noise 3.0" edition. Is it really worth the hype???
The "Para-Noise 3.0" is not exactly an ordinary sneaker with an ordinary colourway. At first glance, it presents a sleek, black leather upper, but there's a twist. The real magic happens over time, as the leather is designed to wear away, unveiling hidden artwork created by G-Dragon himself. This unique feature perfectly captures the collection’s theme of youthful creativity and the beauty of impermanence, something that feels particularly resonant in today’s fast-paced fashion world.
The devil is really in the detailshere . Adding vibrant pops of colour are the Swooshes, which come in striking shades of New Emerald, Pink, and Yellow. Completing the look is G-Dragon’s signature embroidered daisy on the tongue and some chunky laces that give the shoe a bit of extra flair. And for those who love to put their own spin on things, the sneaker also includes custom pins for personalisation, allowing each pair to truly reflect the wearer’s unique style. One of the signature elements that fans will recognise from the "Para-Noise" series is the contrasting paint strokes on the midsole. This time around, they’ve kept this beloved detail, which adds a dynamic and visually striking effect to the overall design. The stained white midsole beneath the black upper creates a bold, artistic contrast that makes these trainers stand out in any crowd.
But the excitement doesn’t stop at the shoe itself. The PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Air Force 1 "Para-Noise 3.0" comes with special packaging that feels as premium as the shoe it holds. Inside, you’ll find an extra set of laces which are thick black and white to give you more options for customisation. There's also a PEACEMINUSONE-branded hangtag attached by the collar, a small but meaningful touch that fans of G-Dragon's brand will appreciate.
This collaboration isn't just about aesthetics; it's about musical storytelling. The shoe evolves with the wearer, revealing layers of artistry and individuality as it ages, which represents the K-POP fanbase.
