[Update 27 Feb 2023] We are finally getting a release of the PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Kwondo 1 “Panda”! Slated to drop on 2 April, expect the pair to arrive alongside an apparel collection via Nike SNKRS and select retailers.

[Update 14 Feb 2023] More photos of the PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Kwondo 1 “Panda”, including on-foot images, have emerged, courtesy of G-Dragon’s stylist-designer good friend KB Lee.

It’s been more than half a year since G-Dragon’s latest Nike signature shoe first appeared on our radar, and Lee’s teaser images signal that we won’t have to wait any much longer, with sources citing that an early 2023 release for this second edition Kwondo 1 is on the cards.

In this latest round of images, we get glimpses of the PEACEMINUSONE and Nike co-branded tongue flaps once again. Stay tuned for more updates on the release of this highly-anticipated pair.

[Update 3 Aug 2022] Official images have dropped for this PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Kwondo 1 in a Panda-esque colorway! These new looks reveal that PEACEMINUSONE branding is found on the aglet, insole and outsole. The shoe box also adopts a similar trunk design as the first PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Kwondo 1 in white. Though no release details have been attached to these official images, it is likely that they will drop soon. The collaborative sneaker will retail for US$180.

Nike and Korean streetwear brand PEACEMINUSONE, founded by G-Dragon, are no strangers. The pair previously worked on two iterations of Air Force 1s and the first PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Kwondo 1 was dropped late last year. 

Now, the fashion-forward brand is banding together with Nike again to remake the Kwondo 1 in “Panda” (or “White/Black”) colors. The PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Kwondo 1 was built as an extension of G-Dragon’s contemporary style, right down to the name of the model. “Kwondo” is an amalgamation of taekwondo, Kwon Ji-young (G-dragon’s legal name), and Nike’s “Just Do It” slogan. 

Characteristic of all PEACEMINUSONE x Nike collaborations is an embroidered daisy flower motif with a missing petal. In the PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Kwondo 1 Panda, the iconic daisy is decorated on the black heel. Another Kwondo 1 signature is the removable tongue flap that has Nike and PEACEMINUSONE branding on each side. 

Following the Panda colorway, this tongue flap is a premium black leather that rests on a white tongue. Stylish brogue details line the black accents on the upper. The Swoosh and sole unit also takes on the same black hue. 

No official release dates have been set for the G-Dragon PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Kwondo 1 Panda, but it is expected to drop later this year. Keep our page in your bookmarks to be updated with the latest news and release information.
