The G-Dragon x Nike Air Force 1 will officially land in Singapore on November 23 at Dover Street Market Singapore. The multi-label store has also confirmed that the sneaker will only be available via an online raffle only. Watch this space for more updates closer to the drop date.
Like any sneakerhead, G-Dragon grew up ogling at sneakers. Not being able to afford them pre-fame meant that he could only love sneakers from afar.
“Ever since I came across hip-hop as a kid, AF1 has had a meaning greater than just shoes,” says G-Dragon. “I couldn’t afford them, so I would always pass the Nike store and admire them with my eyes and heart only. For those who loved hip-hop culture, oversized clothes, hats and matching-colored AF1s was the uniform.”
That’s all in the past now. The G-Dragon x Nike Air Force 1 “Para-noise” reflects G-Dragon’s blossoming into a worldwide style icon from Korean pop star. The sneaker comes with a unique upper fabrication that features a black painted overlay designed to slowly wear away over time to reveal a personal artwork created by G-Dragon.
The artwork conveys a sense of optimism, inspired by the singer-songwriter’s vision of a world where the youth are unified through creativity and a free exchange of ideas.
