G-Dragon has been relatively out of the sneaker spotlight over the last couple of years, but he's taken the 2026 FIFA World Cup™ tournament as the perfect occasion to join forces with Nike. Together, the Asian superstar and Oregon-based sportswear brand have put together a special X2 Collection for South Korea.

Developed through the pop star's PEACEMINUSONE brand, the lineup forms part of a larger football-meets-fashion project by the Swoosh. The range has been dubbed "Unmatched Pre-Match," signaling that collections by Patta, Virgil Abloh Archive™, NOCTA, and others will be worn by national football team players before kick off. Each capsule is accompanied by a pair of the highly-anticipated Nike Cryoshot, which allows fans of iconic Nike football boots to wear their favorite designs on the streets. The South Korean star's canvas of choice is the CTR360 Maestri II football boots from 2010.

Early images of PEACEMINUSONE's World Cup™ Collection for South Korea reveals a pre-match jersey done in a predominantly black style. The shirt evokes images of the Norway 2026 Away jersey, though G-DRAGON has applied a colorful print on the back. A Woven Jacket, Nike Tech Fleece Suit, and other items accompany the jersey, as unveiled by all three parties involved.

Expected to release via Nike SNKRS on June 16.
