Para-noise was G-Dragon's first project with Nike, released under his PEACEMINUSONE label in November 2019. The idea sat in the finish. The black leather upper carries a lacquer coating meant to scuff and flake with wear, gradually uncovering artwork printed underneath, so the shoe is designed to look different after a month than it did in the box. That is an unusual thing to ask of a retail product.
The rest of the detailing is fixed. An embroidered daisy, the label's recurring motif, sits on the tongue alongside custom lace aglets and thick branded laces, and strokes of black paint run across the Air-cushioned cupsole.
Two versions existed. The global pair used a white Swoosh; this one, sold only in Korea, used red. It was released through a draw at roughly 219,000 Korean won, and the pair count ran into the hundreds rather than the thousands, which is why the two builds have never traded anywhere near each other.
