September promises to be an exciting month for sneaker enthusiasts, with two highly anticipated releases on the horizon. The PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Air Force 1 'Para-Noise 3.0' drops on September 14th, following the Nike Air Max 180 'Dusty Cactus,' which hits shelves on September 6th.
G-Dragon Unveils PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Air Force 1 'Para-Noise 3.0,' Launching September 14th
Few sneaker collaborators can rival the global influence of South Korean rapper and songwriter G-Dragon, often hailed as the "King of K-pop." His previous Nike Air Force 1 collaborations in 2019 and 2020 became highly coveted items among sneaker enthusiasts worldwide. Now, G-Dragon is set to revisit the iconic silhouette, officially unveiling the Air Force 1 “Para-Noise 3.0” through his fashion label, PEACEMINUSONE, per Sneaker News.
The “Para-Noise 3.0” design closely mirrors G-Dragon's first Air Force 1 collaboration but with a notable twist—colored Swoosh logos replace the original white ones. The sneakers feature thick laces and bold strokes of black paint underfoot, paired with a black leather upper and a distressed outsole. G-Dragon’s signature daisy is embroidered on the tongue, maintaining the familiar aesthetic, while two eyelet charms—a daisy and a red PEACEMINUSONE logo—add unique detailing. Although this isn’t the first glimpse of the upcoming shoe, it is the first official reveal through PEACEMINUSONE’s channels.
The “Para-Noise 3.0” follows four years after the “Para-Noise 2.0” dropped in 2020. During this time, G-Dragon has been busy with other Nike projects, including his signature shoe, the Nike Kwondo 1, which was released in two colorways in 2022 and 2023.
Official images of the PEACEMINUSONE x Nike Air Force 1 “Para-Noise 3.0” have now been released. The shoe is anticipated to launch on September 14th, 2024.
Nike Air Max 180 'Full 180' Debuts September 6th with a Bold Inverse 'Ultramarine' Design
As excitement builds for the return of the Nike Air 180's original “Ultramarine” colorway on May 24th, another pair previewed during last year’s SNKRS Showcase is also starting to garner attention. The Nike Air Max 180 “Full 180” presents an inverse take on the “Ultramarine” palette; you can see the shoe's defining theme by turning on color inversion on your device. The “Dusty Cactus” and “Coconut Milk” accents on a black base create a fresh look, cleverly tied to the model’s original design. Like its “Ultramarine” counterpart, the shoes feature a larger Air unit, reminiscent of the model's original tooling.
The Nike Air Max 180 “Full 180” will be released on September 6th on SNKRS and select retailers for $150.
