The thinking behind the Tigers of Asia collaboration
G-Dragon has officially teamed up with PEACEMINUSONE, his own brand, as well as Nike and the Korea Football Association (KFA) for a capsule collection called “Tigers of Asia.” This lineup is part of Nike’s seven-brand “Unmatched Pre-Match” initiative, created for the upcoming 2026 World Cup.
The collection pays tribute to the passionate fan culture surrounding South Korea’s national soccer team while cleverly bringing together the high-performance demands of match day and a streetwear aesthetic. Whether you’re heading onto the field or simply adding dimension to your summer streetwear wardrobe, the collection shows plenty of potential for everyday wear.
For the apparel lineup, G-Dragon has put together pieces that connect global K-pop culture with the national team’s distinctive identity. The centerpiece is a black warm-up jersey with a clean, streamlined front; turn around, and the colorful, chaotic-looking graphic on the back immediately becomes the focal point.
Also in the lineup are a textured track jacket designed to be mixed and matched, along with a custom-made Nike Tech Fleece set, so you can look stylish from cheering in the stands to strolling the streets.
The new CryoShot sneaker
The clear centerpiece of the collection is the newly released PEACEMINUSONE x Nike CryoShot. Inspired by the popular 2010 CTR360 Maestri II soccer cleat, this distinctively conceived sneaker sees G-Dragon completely rework the upper, replacing traditional synthetic materials with premium natural fibers.
The sneaker has a clean off-white base with a striking red Swoosh. Most distinctive is its midsole, which encases the original studs in a flat, transparent rubber module, creating a freeze-frame effect while retaining the comfortable, secure fit needed in an everyday sneaker.
This collaboration is more than a straightforward brand partnership; it is a clear example of turning professional sports gear into everyday fashion. The CryoShot in particular retains the spirit of a soccer cleat while offering the flat-soled comfort of an everyday sneaker. If you’re interested in picking something up, the collection is already available in an early release on the PeaceMinusOne and Korea Football Association websites. Nike SNKRS and select retailers worldwide will officially carry it later this summer.
