Nike Kwondo

The Nike Kwondo is a unique footwear model created by Nike in collaboration with South Korean musical artist G-Dragon, leader of the band Big Bang. The shoe was first presented in December 2021. The name "Kwondo" comes from taekwondo, a Korean martial art, emphasizing the cultural roots and inspiration of the design. The shoe features a clean, white colorway with elegant lines that reference traditional Korean shoes worn with hanbok, the Korean national costume. The design combines elements of classic formal footwear, such as covered laces and a large, decorative buckle, with modern technologies and the comfort typical of sneakers. The Nike Kwondo also draws from the aesthetic of streetwear, as seen in additional, unusual details, such as a perforated tongue and specific trims. This combination of tradition and modernity makes the Nike Kwondo extremely desirable both in the world of fashion and among sneaker collectors.
