UPDATE: G-Dragon's PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Kwondo 1 "Panda" Is Coming Soon
UPDATE (March 29, 2023): Months after an official look, the Swoosh has finally officially announced the PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Kwondo 1 "Panda" created by G-Dragon.
Taking inspiration from the art of taekwondo as well as the K-pop star's legal name, the Kwondo 1 initially launched in an all-white colorway in 2021, following the musician's famed Air Force 1 collaboration with the footwear giant. This time around, the kicks arrive in a "Panda" makeup, donning a white base with contrasting black overlays throughout.
In addition to the sneaker, the collaboration will feature co-branded apparel, which similarly takes influence from taekwondo with free-flowing silhouettes.
Take a closer look at the designs above and below. G-Dragon's PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Kwondo 1 collection will launch on April 11 via SNKRS.

ORIGINAL STORY (August 3, 2022): G-Dragon is gearing up for another drop of his ongoing PEACEMINUSONE x Nike partnership. This time around, the K-pop star is releasing a "Panda" iteration of the Kwondo 1, with a series of early images unveiled back in June.
The South Korean rapper, who recently released a cover of Elvis Presley's iconic track "Can't Help Falling in Love," has updated the taekwondo-inspired shoe, which is inspired by taekwondo, his legal name and the Swoosh’s “Just Do It” slogan. Arriving in white, the sneaker is contrasted with black overlays on the Swoosh, mudguard, lacing system and heel, as well as the soles. The signature PMO peace logo is found on the tongue, accompanying the daisy branding on the heel tab.
Nike has yet to announce an official release date, but we're expecting the PMO x Nike Kwondo 1 "Panda" to drop in the coming months for $180 USD a pair.
