Nike Kwondo 1 G-Dragon - Panda Mens

The G-Dragon x Nike Kwondo 1 “Panda” is a collaboration by the South Korean hip-hop artist and Nike on the brogue-style shoe that debuted in December 2021. The Nike Kwondo 1 is named after the Korean martial art of taekwondo, and its design is inspired by several footwear styles, most notably brogue-style dress shoes, Stefan Janoski’s Nike SB Janoski line, and ‘90s-era football cleats. This is evident from the perforations found along each panel, the overall shape of the shoe, and the overlapping tongues. As for the rest of the design, the shoe appears in a “Panda” inspired color block with white leather on the base and black leather on the overlays and on the Swoosh. Dual “Nike” and “Peaceminusone” logos are found on the left and right tongues, respectively. An embroidered daisy detail on the heel is a nod to G-Dragon’s logo. More classic, formal-looking footwear inspires the look of the shoe’s black rubber sole. G-Dragon - Panda
