G-Dragon collaborated with the leading sportswear maker Nike and the PEACEMINUSONE x Air Force 1 “Para-Noise” was created. It was launched in November, and it was already sold out just hours after it went on sale.
People around the world, even top celebrities, also tried to get their hands on the new sneakers, and it seems that many of them were able to get their pairs. In South Korea alone, Allkpop reported that top celebrities that include Grey, EXO’s Suho, Park Shin Hye, actress Han Ye Sul, Sistar’s Soyou, and more already got their shoes and they let the world know by posting pictures of them wearing the hottest sneakers right now.
The rumors that GD’s Nike Air Force 1 “Para-Noise” launch has created
While most people had to line up or reserve their G-Dragon Nike Air Force 1 “Para-Noise” shoes, some people were able to get it more easily. Just like Sandara Park, who got her pairs directly from GD!
It turned out that the BIGBANG member gifted Sandara with not just one but three pairs - in different colors. It was said that hers were customized as requested by G-Dragon, and with this special treatment, the dating rumors between them have resurfaced once again.
When Sandara posted the photos of her AF1 “Para-Noise” shoes and thanked G-Dragon for the gifts, the #DARAGON quickly trended on social media. The rumors heightened when the 2NE1 member also attended GD’s Nike launch event that took place at the Olympic Park in Seoul, South Korea.
Fans were commenting that if G-Dragon took the time to have some pairs specially customized for Sandara Park, then it could only mean one thing - that they are dating! But then, as usual, there is no confirmation about this just like in those past years when they have been fiercely linked together.
Resale of the shoes
Meanwhile, some people are taking advantage of the huge popularity of G-Dragon’s Air Force 1 Para-Noise shoes. There are individuals who bought pairs and then offer them for resale for as much as $11,000 or KRW 13 million. The shoes are already sold out; thus there are buyers who are willing to spend a lot, but this price range is just too much, and it also surprised many fans.
