Nike’s partnership with Asian mega-star G-Dragon will come back to life in 2024 with a third iteration of the beloved Paranoise Air Force 1. Initially debuting in 2019 and dropping just mere months before the lockdown in 2020, this collaborative release acted as the debut track for the Swoosh’s burgeoning partnership with one of South Korea’s most influential musician/celebrity/artist/fashion icons in history. It has since evolved into his own shoe called the KWONDO, a platformed lifestyle shoe modeled after wing-tipped golf shoes.
The artistic direction of the sneaker mimics the initial 2019 pair nearly to a tee; an all black upper covers the artwork that lies beneath, while streaks of black brush-stroked paint coverse the midsole. PEACEMINUSONE’s floral emblem stays consistent to the design as it arrievs on the tongue. The only difference that we can discern on this third iteration is the color of the Swoosh; a teal blue appears on the lateral, while a pink sits on the interior medial.
A second Paranoise Air Force 1 Low followed just a year later with a white/black pair that flipped the color-blocking of the upper. Of course, the most cherished pair is the Friends & Family version of the original that came with red Swoosh logos. If there ever will be a PARANOISE 4.0, we suspect the white-uppered version to return in its role.
A release date for this collaborative AF1 hasn’t been disclosed yet, so stay tuned for updates.
